To do great important tasks, two things are necessary: a plan and not quite enough time. —Unknown

November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).

The challenge: to write 50,000 words in 30 days

That’s an average of 1,667 words/day.

The only thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. It's all about quantity, not quality.

The kamikaze approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly.

Writing begins November 1 and ends November 30

No exceptions
