I'm a newbie on the YWS, :D, and I've been looking around at all the forums and enjoying reading the questions people ask and seeing everyone's answers.

One of the things I usually see on the forums is the following: "NaNoWriMo"

And my question is...

What is "NaNoWriMo"?!!

NaNoWriMo is during the month of November, through the entire month people far and wide challenge themselves to write I believe 50,000 words of a novel. It's quite the challenge but a rewarding experience, though the writing itself doesn't turn out very good.

:D I hope that answers your question.

If you have anymore questions you can PM anytime.

Kamas got it right. ^^ The full name is "National Novel Writing Month" which is shortened to "NaNoWriMo" or "NaNo."

Wow, I had no idea! What a cool contest- I think the most I've ever written in anything was a lousy 10,000 words. :lol:

Thanks for telling me, that lifts the mist somewhat!
