Acho que vou fazer isto em Janeiro.

Acho, não: vou fazer mesmo.

Quem me acompanha? :)

E desta vez escreverei a computador (hum, provavelmente no alphasmart que é para não me distrair com a net, evil evil net).

"This is the community for January Novel Writing Month!

Not affiliated with NaNoWriMo, but taking the ideas laid out there and in Chris Baty's book No Plot, No Problem! this is a month-long project to write a 50,000 word novel in one month!

A lot of people have a hard time with the official NaNoWriMo because it takes place in November. November has a lot of school commitments, Thanksgiving, elections, holiday shopping, and heaven help you if you work retail!

January, on the other hand, is a much better month for starting new challenges. You can even make "write a novel" one of your New Years Resolutions and be done before February 1! And most people are already awake at midnight on January 1st anyway! Plus, January has a whole extra day to finish your novel!

The rules are the same as NaNoWriMo-- 50,000 words of a NEW novel. A "novel" is defined as a work of significant length of prose fiction. "New" means you didn't write it before.

You cannot start writing before January 1, but you can make outlines, character sketches, and notes all the way up till then. If you're tempted to write/rewrite the novel you've written/rewritten/been working on for years, DON'T. Just don't. Trust me when I say there's a reason you haven't finished it yet. Start with something new. Start with something BAD if you want. Your first finished novel can and maybe should be the kind of thing you want to hide in a drawer or outhouse until long after you're a famous bestselling author. (See below for the NaNoWriMo05 exception)
The novel can be quasi-autobiographical, as long as it's fictionalized.
It can have poetry segments as long as it's mostly prose.
It can have extensive quotations.
It can be fanfiction.
It doesn't have to be good.
It doesn't even need to be publishable.

We don't have the fancy website, forums, and word verification tools, but we do have some cool stuff anyway. We have this community for support and, if you send me your text file and address, I'll run a word verification and send you a hand-calligraphied certificate of completion in February!

Oh, yeah. And if you want to add 50K or finish a novel you started for NaNoWriMo 2005, that's ok-- it's fresh enough that you won't be lugging around an albatross of failed literary endeavors."
