• Butt In Chair For One Month

  Following the maxim that the best way to be a writer is to write, Chris Baty founded National Novel Writing Month to provide support and inspiration for writers and writers-to-be. The goal of NaNoWriMo -- to complete 50,000 words of a new, novel-length work in the thirty days of the month of November -- ideally puts participating writers in a habit of regular writing they will continue to follow after the event is over. In order to hit the 50,000 word limit, participants must complete an average of 1,667 words per day.
