National Novel Writing Month

Iman of Teens Online

NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, is a really cool challenge to write a book in a month. Essentially, one would write a little less than 2,000 words a day. This is really cool idea if you had a story idea on your mind and you need an excuse to flesh it out and write it. You are not allowed to work on any previously existing manuscripts but you can work on plot lines and character descriptions. Although it is not a part of NaNoWriMo, some participants do go on to publish their stories afterward. This is a great experience for all young writers who are looking for a challenge to test their writing skills.

Need some tips? Here's what author Alice Osborn has to say.
