The month of November is almost here and it’s time for NaNoWriMo. You might be wondering what I am talking about. Well, in this blog, I will be talking about NaNoWriMo, which stands for National Novel Writing Month. In NaNoWriMo, you write any genre-based novels throughout the November month. So, it goes like this, people participate in a NaNoWriMo event in which they have to write a novel of about 50,000 words throughout the November month. The NaNoWriMo event starts from November 1 to November 30. Now before, you think of participating in it, these are some of the rules

  • It should be about 50,000 or longer

  • Starts the novel from November 1 and end it on November 30th

  • You can either complete writing the whole novel on November 30th or after completing 50,000 words by November 30th, you can complete your novel later

  • No written work before November 1st will be added to the novel

  • Can write about any genre novel

You might be wondering, Why should I participate in NaNoWriMo? Well, there are many benefits you can get from it. 

  • It will push you to challenge yourself in writing

  • Help you be more creative

  • Will help you in starting your writing career
