Na-No-WHAT-O?!

Hi everyone! 

November is just around the corner and so is NaNoWriMo.

...

You are probably thinking right now sth like: "What in Grimm's name is THAT supposed to be?!"

No worries, I'm here to help. 

The NaNoWriMo is the abbreviation for National Novel Writing Month. It is a project anyone can participate in, no matter the daily job, age, language or interests. The only thing that does matter is the inspiration and devotion throughout the whole process. Ok, and a lot of conscientiousness - achieving the goal requires determination and zeal and, though it may seem like a lot of fun, it's also hard work.

So, what is the whole buzz all about?

Basically, you sing up to the NaNoWriMo official webpage, then - on the page - between November 1st and November 30th you write yuor story. The word limit is 50,000 words (and that's a lot of writing in a month, trust me).

It is really about having fun and self-challenge, but if you are interested in the specificsg, here's how it all goes down in NaNoWriMo:

The prizes are donated by sponsors and, very often, novels that win or are remarkable in some way, get published. Here are some novels that have their origin in the NaNoWriMo project that oyu might have heard of:

Erin Morgenstern	The Night Circus
Cecile Duquenne	Entrechats
James R. Strickland	Looking Glass
Ada Vaughan	Sweets
Stephanie Perkins	Anna and the French Kiss
Sara Gruen	Water for Elephants
Kevin Marman	In the Day
Dave Anthony	Love & Struggle: Beyond the Rubber Estates

Signing up and submitting your novel to NaNoWriMo is completely free of charge. It's all about creativity and fun.

Here are some how-to's and preparation tips on the topic from Catriona, a lovely, young Booktuber (=  person making video blogs about books and posting them to YouTube... Whew, in one word - a booktuber):
