Tick the box on the right when you've hit the word count! | | NaNoWriMo GoalsThe aim is to write a novel in November. | 50,000 words or more. | It's about quantity, not quality. | (You and 200,000 other people.) |
Rules for Effective WritingNever use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. | Never use a long word where a short one will do. | If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. | Never use the passive where you can use the active. | Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. | Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous. |

Inspirational QuotesA story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order. - Jean-Luc Godard | Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't. - Mark Twain | You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it. - Neil Gaiman | Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one. - Terry Pratchett | No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader. Robert Frost | Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way. - E.L. Doctorow | I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. - Dr. Seuss | I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. -Douglas Adams |
