Related: About this forumMaybe it's time for a novel-writing month
Every year I think about doing National Novel Writing Month, but November is always a busy month for me, so I never have. But now I suddenly have time on my hands. Anyone want to join me for Coronavirus Novel-Writing April? I mean, were all shut in anyway, so if not now, when?

But the organization is mostly about providing encouragement and support, not necessarily sharing each day's work. It's also about just getting the words on paper and not necessarily perfect writing. The editing and perfecting can be done after the month is completed. It's a good way to keep your butt in the chair every day.

(15,718 posts)I did NANO WRIMO a few times, but never finished because we always travel at Thanksgiving. I have a story that could use some attention. Maybe we could report in with a daily word count.

will be my novel-writing month. I mean, I'm isolating for the most part until April 30 which will probably get extended. And I have a couple of ideas for my third book.
I'm in!
