National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) believes in the transformational power of creativity. The organization provides the structure, community, and encouragement to help people find their voices, achieve creative goals, and build new worlds—on and off the page. NaNoWriMo is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing. On November 1, participants begin working towards the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel by 11:59 PM on November 30. Valuing enthusiasm, determination, and a deadline, NaNoWriMo is for anyone who has ever thought about writing a novel.
