November is National Novel Writing Month.
This is an annual internet-based, creative writing project that began in 1999. During the month, you write 50,000 words. The idea is that you write, write, write and don't stop to look back or edit your work. At the end of the month you have completed (or written a humongous chunk of) a novel. Now you have a first draft to revise and edit.
There is a dedicated website (no fee involved) which includes much more than recording your word count. There are forums where you can interact with other members, get advice, ask or answer questions, receive encouragement and/or find tools to help with your writing.
If you're a social animal, be sure to check if your local community offers write-ins. Word sprints are popular. (A nonverbal vomit, if you will.)
Know a youth who loves to read and make up their own stories? Introduce them to Nano's Young Writers Program--a writing workshop aimed at kindergarten to 12th grade students.
This is a self-challenge. You ‘win’ by writing 50,000 words and there are online sponsors who offer prizes. (You can’t cheat, since the reward for winning is your own completed novel.)
