Have you heard about NaNoWriMo? November's annual words-fest is designed to encourage folks to write a novel in 30 days. There's an official website and registering gets you encouragement/nagging and the virtual company of a lot (
a LOT) of other writers - and people with good intentions.

You're Ready to Write that Novel!
Some eager folks insist you can show up November 1 with nary an idea 30 days later, you too will have a complete manuscript. I am not convinced. But I am an optimist, and I believe everyone has a novel inside, it's just a matter of (an almost indescribable amount of) dedication to get it on paper. Or hard drive.
Or Get Ready for NaNoWriMo
I like the approach suggested by Jennifer Mattern, business copywriter and head-honcho of the super-practical and useful site,
All Indie Writers. Mattern says a little preparation goes a long way, and offers a
host of helpful tools to give you an edge over all those just-show-up-and-write types. So, get ready
and write - and you'll show them!
