National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo for short) is an annual writeathon that takes place during the month of November each year.
Writers around the world attempt to write 50,000 words of fiction between the 1st and 30th of November. Founded by writer Chris Baty in 1999, NaNoWriMo has grown from 21 participants in its first year to hundreds of thousands of registered participants annually.
JDL is an official NaNoWriMo Come Write In space for 2021.
