NaNoWriMo: Winner Validation Up

For those participating in National Novel Writing Month, I’m posting a reminder that, starting today, you can officially validate the length of your novel if you’re over 50,000 words - and turn your pretty green bar into an equally shiny purple one with “Winner!” printed on it.

Possibly as a result of this new feature, the site has been a bit sluggish for me this morning. I was still able to get it to work eventually, though, and I’m sure it’ll improve in time.

NaNoWriMo countdown: ten days

I’d just like to take a moment to remind everyone that there are only ten days left in November, and ten days until National Novel Writing Month comes to a close. I’m still having trouble believing that I’ll be wrapping up my novel and going back to my normal writing routine so soon.

On the other hand, ten days IS, well, ten whole days, and whatever your word count may be there’s still time to make it to 50k.

Even if you’re not doing NaNoWriMo at all this year, you might want to sign up for an account before December, so you’re able to use their forums throughout the rest of the year.

There’s also a topic set up on Inkify for reporting progress on your NaNoWriMo novel. Free registration is required to post, but you can view it here if you’re interested.
