Just a matter of hours until the start of NNWM
I write to give myself strength.
I write to be the characters that
I am not. I write to explore all
the things I'm afraid of.
― Joss Whedon

So this is it, Nano Writer! You are prepared (maybe/mostly/sort of)! You are ready (maybe/mostly/sort of)! There’s nothing to be afraid of right? Your muse and your characters are willing to share their story with you if you are willing to listen and brave enough to stare down the doubts and distracting voices telling you it’s impossible.
Because you can.
But it won’t necessarily be easy. Crossing the 50K finish line will demand much of you: your time, your dedication, your perseverance. But you can do it! And we’ll be here with you every step of the way.
Everyday, all November, we’ll post a countdown and daily word count reminder. Please feel free to reply to these posts to share news of your day’s accomplishments, snippets of writing, questions, challenges, requests or just to say “hi!”
The community itself will be
closed to open posting from 11/1 − 11/30 and we thank you sincerely for your understanding as our intent is to minimize the distraction of those members who prefer not to participate in community exchanges once NNWM begins. Nano Writers will be open to posting again on December 1 and remain open throughout the year, as always, until next November.
But for now, Nano Writer, the starting line lies straight ahead! The clock will soon strike midnight and there’s only one thing left to say:
Write, Nano Writer, write!
