Like every time in November, also this year NaNoWriMo is starting! :)
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a creative writing project. It isn't a contest, so there are neither winners nor losers. Participants should write - a book, a novel, a short story, fanfiction or whatever they like. The main goal is to achieve 50,000 words, but, as I've already written, it's not a contest so nothing'll happen if you won't manage to do it. It's just for fun, after all!
There are some events connected with NaNoWriMo. For example, last year in Polish group there was a challenge - in your story you should use a word "sówki" ('owlets'). People exchanged their sentences with this word and some of them were just hilarious :D
There are also some meetings in real life. This year in Poland there were meetings in Poznań and Warsaw (3 November) or there will be one in Wrocław (11 November). People discuss and write there, so it's necessary to bring a notebook, tablet or anything you can write in.
It's still some time until the end of November, so if you have some time, you can join and take pleasure in writing! :)

Are the results published anywhere? If so, could you please remember to share with us at least one entry in English? Or two? OK, three, if they are short. ;)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, it is not possible :( NaNoWriMo works as a word counter - you can upload your novel and the program counts words without saving it (that is why it is important to save your work on your computer for not losing it), so unfortunately people's stories are not published there :( It's a pity, because, in my opinion, publishing stories would be more interesting option...
