Do words come naturally to you? Do you love to write? National Novel Writing Month is held every November and is fast approaching. NaNoWriMo, as writers affectionately call it, brings together writers of all languages, cultures, ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds. During those 30 short days, writers around the world challenge themselves to write 50,000 words of a novel. Writing 50,000+ words in the 30 days of November might sound overwhelming or even a little crazy. However, this goal is achievable when you prepare.
