Every November, it is National Novel Writing Month.

This is a program that tries to help writers craft
that novel that they have been wanting to write. There is a website that
writers can join where they keep track of your daily word counts.
The goal is to complete 50,000 words during the
month of November.
No, this is not an actual novel. Most 325 -350 page
novels are actually anywhere from 90,000 plus words.
But this does help or can even bring fear to a
budding author who has that novel that is dying to come out.
I have completed it twice, first time in 2013 and
the second time in 2016. I have both times written 90,000 plus word novels in
that month. It is good to sit down and force yourself to write every day, but
there are days that it is really hard to write anything. The characters and the
plot do not want to cooperate. I have struggled with putting the words down on
the page.
The website does have sponsors that are willing to
donate a little discount of their services or even free items if you actually
complete the 50,000 word challenge by November 30th.
How about you? Have you ever done a challenge like this or even completed this National Novel Writing Month?
