It's almost November! And anyone who's familiar with the old writing calendar knows that November means NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). It's an annual event, and if you've never participated, and you've always wanted to write that great American novel, this is the time to do it.
You can join thousands of other writers all across the world in creating those individual works of fiction. As a matter of fact, someone may be writing the next bestseller in November of this year. So screw up your courage and give it a try. Rather than regurgitate all the facts, I think I'll just type the link here and you can get it straight from the horse's mouth.
