National Novel Writing Month is a writing challenge that comes 3 times a year. The original challenge was to write 50,000 words in a month. You can set whatever goal you want now. Find out more at nanowrimo.org

Camp NaNoWriMo is in April and July.

NaNoWriMo is in November.

I participated since 2009, with a gap.

Nov 2009 NaNoWriMo Offplanet

I did meet the goal of 50,000 words. All I have is my participant sticker. Can't find this story [grumbling about Windows losing my files deleted LOL]

Nov 2010 Home Has Aliens

Karene and the world were shocked when her coworker Laura hid two aliens in her home. But she always wondered if she could have taken in a couple of aliens, one very injured. History has a way of repeating. 37319 words 116 pp.

I didn't meet my goal, but it was fun!

I have a blank certificate and NaNo's catalog says this design was 2023, but I have certificates for all 3 events. This is a mystery. Maybe they had two designs for the same month? Both are beautiful.
