Every November writers from all over the world commit themselves to a National Novel Writing Competition. The goal is to write 50K words in a month. RedRoom has decided to go one better and up the competition by giving a prize (randomly drawn) to the lucky author who happens to reach that goal. ...

Thanks to How Not To Write, I’ve joined up! I'm gonna do NaNoWriMo!

Bring it.

I woke up this morning with 5 extra minutes this morning. I decided to log into RedRoom.com which I had seen in O Magazine. I happened...

Last year on one of my group lists mentioned the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and I thought it was a neat idea. But I just didn't have the time to do it. Now I have even less time, so why am I signing up? Because of ill health, I haven't actually written anything in over six years. My...
