NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month, which is in November every year. The idea is that you sign up on the website and then attempt to write an entire novel of at least 50,000 words in November. If you manage it you can submit it to be validated and then you get a Winner’s Certificate from the website, but mainly you get to know that you wrote a novel in a month!

I’ve known about it for a couple of years now, but this year I’ve decided to do it. I’m not very prepared- I only have 3 A4 pages of handwritten notes- but I think it’s going to be fun just to see how it goes!
