Subscribe to this thread to receive all the latest announcements and info about NovMo and PlanMo!


What are PlanMo and NovMo?


Simply put, they're writing challenges! The goal of PlanMo is to plan for NovMo, whose typical goal is to write 50,000 words (or a full novel) in 30 days. However, you are encouraged to set whatever writing goal works for you. PlanMo takes place in October and NovMo in November. Here on YWS, we do lots of fun things to hype up NovMo, such as word crawls, pad parties, and just generally spreading encouragement!

For more information on NovMo, check out this post, or ask anyone who already has a thread up in the NovMo forum.


How do I participate?


Just make a thread in the NovMo forum! You can add a blurb about your project and update your progress each day. Check out other ywsers' projects too and spread some positivity!


What events/activities will there be?


Great question. I'll update the list of activities below as we announce them throughout the month:

  • PlanMo Journal Challenge - Plan out your project by answering some fun journal prompts from the Official PlanMo Club! This year, we have some super special spooky prompts as well ;D
  • The Question Game - Ask and be asked fun questions about your project, and learn a bit about other people's projects as well C:
  • Other forum activities - There are tons of fun threads in the NovMo forum, ranging from "What's the first sentence of your novel?" to "What is your NaNo routine?"
  • Word Crawls - link coming soon!
  • Write-ins - schedule coming soon!
  • Hashtags - more info coming soon!

I have to ask. Does every question or statement regarding the quote generator end up in the quote generator?
