What month is National Novel Writing Month? (NaNoWriMo)

National Novel Writing Month is often referred to as NaNoWriMo. National Novel Writing Month began in 1999 as a daunting but straightforward challenge: to write 50,000 words of a novel in thirty days. Now, each year on November 1, hundreds of thousands of people around the world begin to write, determined to end the month with a first draft. This is an exhilarating literary event that challenges aspiring and seasoned writers alike to embark on a creative journey by writing a novel in just one month.
