National Novel Writing Month kicked off on November 1st and continues
all month for thirty days and nights of literary abandon! It's a
hands-on writing adventure where everyday people all around the world
bash out a 50,000 word novel in 30 days--that's just 1,667 words a day!
No judges or entry fees. Just a whole lot of fun.

National Novel Writing Month is a month set aside with the goal of simply
writing. Writing what? Well,
anything! The idea isto get you writing, non-stop. What you write about is totally up to you!

Young Writer's Program is a version of National Novel Writing Month
geared at the young writers. Whether you're in elementary, middle, high
school, or home-schooled,you can write during National Novel Writing
