You've done it. Whether you've created a masterpiece, a rough draft, added a few thousand words to a work in progress, or achieved a smaller goal of your own... you've made it through November, and hit that last day of NanoWriMo. At this point, many peopl...
So you've signed up to NanoWriMo, got yourself situated and are now staring at the dashboard wondering what the heck to do. It's getting closer, panic is setting in, and you realize you have no dang idea what you're doing. Rest assured, even past Nano par...

Basically, a bunch of insane idiot authors get together in November and say "You know what? We don't want to survive this month." And we all sit down and pledge to write 50,000 words in 30 days. If you actually do it, there are some prizes for writing sof...

That way I can have off for Thanksgiving Eve and Thanksgiving Day without falling too far behind. I almost didn't make it today, was going to stop at 1680, but I was threatened with having the router unplugged if I didn't finish. So, final tally was 2198. I'm only counting 2000 though, that way I have some leeway for tomorrow lol

You set it for however many minutes you want to sprint for, and it has a buzzer that sounds really loud when the minutes are up. You get into the zone and that buzzer honestly scares the hell out of you, so you write as much as you can to get stuff done before that obnoxious noise sounds. Sprints seem to be my niche, apparently. I've managed to do 8,000 words today. That's more than I usually do in a month. I'm so excited for tomorrow! less
