Isn't novel writing a marathon? So why do we sprint?

Literature & Writing NaNo and Similar
5

As am I. I spent a couple years (2021-2022) researching & outlining a horror novel, which I never made the time to actually write. :man_shrugging:

When this post alerted me that PWA was hosting a NaNo event this year –

And I remembered that this distraction-free device built specifically for getting down first drafts will (hopefully) be delivered to me in October –

And I realized that I’ve got no major commitments this November –

I thought, well, I’ve never done a NaNo before, but why not try it this year and get started on that novel. :victory_hand:

I write long first drafts, so 50k would probably only be 30% - 50% of a complete first draft. But it would be more than I have now. :grinning_face:

Best,
Jim
