It's October, which means it's time to get excited about writing 50,000 words in one month again!!!

NaNoWriMo (NaNo) is now called Novel Month (NovMo)
info thread explaining why coming soon

The "pure" version of NovMo is to start writing a brand new book on November 1st and write 50,000 words of said book in November. Come write a novel in a month with us!! I promise it's fun!!

BUT:
*If 1667 words a day doesn't work for you - come up with a different goal!
*If you want to write short stories, a screenplay, or something other than a novel - fine!
*If you have a bunch of ideas and you want to bounce around - do your thing!

AND:
*It doesn't have to be good.
*You don't have to share it with anyone if you don't want to.

GET BRAINSTORMING!
START PLANNING!
BUILD YOUR PLAYLISTS!
CREATE YOUR AESTHETIC BOARDS!
& TELL US ABOUT YOUR PROJECT!

I'm working on something brand new for a change and I can't wait to cheer you on! <3

Life is a banana peel and I am the fool who dared to tread on it.

If in the Writing Olympics, gold wasn't for you,
and silver, and bronze evaded you too,
please remind yourself the value added to your crew,
the work that you tried, and the strides anew!

If you didn't meet your word count for LSS,
I encourage you to take a deep breath -
after all, we're writing for fun, with friends,
and isn't the whole story what matters in the end?

If your name didn't change to dark cyan,
if you missed a day of tortoise in the month's span,
remember you can only do as much as you can -
and the authors still appreciate their latest reviewing fan!

If your novel has slowed, and the writer's block is strong,
if your imagery is cramped, and you feel your poems don't belong,
we all go through valleys; rests are part of the song!
So while you're taking a break, let us cheer you along!

If for RevMo this year, you're busy with work, life, or school,
if you won't add a hundred reviews to the reviewing pool,
we still want you here, we still think you're cool!
You know what? You're welcome and valuable just being you!
