Today is officially the start of National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. Hundreds of thousands of writers will be participating, and I encourage anyone who hasn't tried to give it a go.
I've been debating about whether or not to participate this year myself, because of a rather full schedule. However, I know that no matter how busy you are, the best way to improve your writing is to push yourself to do even more. In light of that, I decided to do an adapted version of NaNoWriMo. Though I won't be working toward the goal of completing a new novel, I will be striving to reach a goal of 50,000 words through working on short stories and my current novel. I hope to at least churn out some new material for submissions by doing so.
For those who are participating, I wish you the best of luck, and as always, happy writing!
