| Hello Everyone, November is just a little more than 30 days away and that means NaNoWriMo is just around the corner. Since many people use October for prep work, I wanted to drop this post now...  NanoGroups "National Novel Writing Month (NanoWrimo) is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30." ~~ NanoWrimo.Org For those participating in this month-long writing challenge, Writing.Com hopes to provide you with the tools, support and inspiration you need to succeed! If you're interested in joining a NanoWrimo group here on Writing.Com, here's a few: "Invalid Item" [] by A Guest Visitor "NaNoWriMo Write-A-Thon Group" [E] by Jeff  NaNoWriMo Write-A-Thon list of Writers, Sponsors and Teams "NaNoWriMo Plus" [13+] by Dawn Embers  A writing group inspired by NaNoWriMo with monthly goals. "October Novel Prep Challenge Group" [E] by Brandiwynš¶  October Novel Prep Challenge participants. ** If you know of any other groups or activities, please drop a comment here and let us know! My NanoCounter You can keep track of your Nano word count in the left hand column of all your WDC pages. Once activated, just click the count to update it at any time! When you're done with Nano, to make it go away, set the count to 0! Everyone can use the NanoCounter and if you've used in the past, you can reset it --> We encourage you to turn it on and get involved! But... You can only activate your NanoCounter using the following link. It will set the word count to 1 word so the counter shows on your pages. http://Writing.Com/main/my_account/action/update_nano/nanocnt/1---> Important! We will RESET all counters on or about October 31st in preparation for this year's nano. If you have a count in there when it happens, the system emails you a note with your previous count. View the Nano'er List Those who've got their NanoCounter turned on will have a link to View the Nano'er List. This is a complete list those members actively involved in the Nano. For each Nano'er, the list shows the word count written so far, words left to write and a percent complete. Anyone can view the nano'er listing here: http://www.writing.com/main/authors/action/nano The WDC NanoLounge We've setup a place to chat about all things Nano. Share your stories, progress, problems, groups, forums, links and more! We've linked the lounge from the top of the Nano Authors list... and it's linked right below this:
