Sometimes you just need something to help give you a boost for that big goal you simply cannot seem to get started. NaNoWriMo has been just such a thing for me in my writing journey.

What is NaNoWriMo, you ask? Well, it stands for National Novel Writing Month, and it is a nonprofit organization, primarily based online, that exists to support writers. They are most well-known for hosting a contest to see who can write 50,000 words on a fictional writing project in November.

Their mission states: NaNoWriMo is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that believes in the transformational power of creativity. We provide the structure, community, and encouragement to help people find their voices, achieve creative goals, and build new worlds—on and off the page.
