NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, and it's a time that creatives come together with the common goal of writing 50K words during the month.
This leads to the monthly IWSG blog hop question:
Have you ever participated in National Novel Writing Month? If not, why not?
Thank you to Alex Cavanaugh for founding the Insecure Writers Support Group, and to this month’s co-hosts, Diedre Knight, Douglas Thomas Greening, Nick Wilford, and Diane Burton.

I've participated in NaNoWriMo several times. It's great to feel a sense of community while writing, knowing that so many others are tapping into their creativity, too. I even served as a coach in 2020 and shared five organizational tips to help during November.
This year, rather than track my wordcount, I'm going to track my revision hours. If you're interested in using NaNoWriMo for a project other than 50K novel words, check out So You're A NaNoWriMo Revision Rebel by Becca Spence Dobias or How to Break the Rules for the Best NaNoWriMo Ever by Sue Weems. Both articles provide ideas for making the month work best for you. For more inspiration, check out these pep talks on the NaNoWriMo site.
Whether it's words in a new novel, creating a series of smaller projects, or revising an existing draft, there's still time to join the NaNoWriMo community and crush your creative goals.
