Posted on November 1, 2011

It's that time of year again. Today is the first day of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). The goal of participating in NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000-word manuscript in one month. The event lasts from today through November 30th.

You can sign up to get motivational emails from authors to keep you going when you feel like you just can't type another word. This year the authors who will be giving advice are Chris Cleave, Jonathan Lethem, Erin Morgenstern, Audrey Niffenegger, Brandon Sanderson and Deb Olin Unferth.
