I received an email today from NaNoWrimo's Executive Director Grant Faulkner. And as a concerned WriMo, I feel obliged to beg your help (vote) for the Office of Letters and Light aka NaNoWriMo  to bag the $250,000 donation from the good guys of Chase Community Giving. The one who gets the most number of votes in the ongoing Facebook contest brings home the prize.

Won't take you a minute to help make dreams come true for the writers joining the NaNoWriMo programs, which essentially means giving life to the literary world. Imagine helping so many writers around the world without reaching into your own pocket. But by just clicking that Vote button for NaNoWriMo.

And after voting, why not spread the word to your friends, enemies and every breathing creature with a Facebook account? I'm sure you'll do. So, thank you!

It's Almost November, It's Almost NaNoWriMo




NaNoWriMo stands for National November Writing Month. It's an online event every writer shouldn't miss. From Nov 1 to 30, aspiring novelists churn out 50,000 words to win the distinction of stringing together 50,000 words! Hopefully, intelligible! Yes, it's that simple! Or is it? 

Two years into it and I have yet to finish a novel (50,000 words). But I'm glad to say that I've finished 2 novelettes, 1 got published/serialized in women's magazine. The other is waiting for the publisher's nod. Pls. nod, pls. nod.;p

That said, I can't wait for the nod, I mean for November! Well, both actually.
