The unofficial lemmy community for the “National Novel Writing Month” challenge, often shortened to NaNoWriMo. This forum is not officially affiliated with the 501©(3) nonprofit organization of the same name, it is a simply fan community dedicated to discussion of those participating in said nonprofit organizations yearly challenge.

This is a community dedicated to sharing discussion, criticism and pep talks related to NaNoWriMo.

Learn more about NaNoWriMo from their website here.

Feel free to check out their resources hub as well.

If you are able, consider donating to them as well and maybe participating in their community as well. They are a really cool organization!

Community Rules:

Please follow literature.cafe’s instance wide rules.
This is not a contest with an official prize, the prize is the satisfaction of having made a finished novel. If you are cheating, you are only cheating yourself. Remember that.
Please, no AI. This is not the community for that.
Please only give criticism when specifically requested

NaNoWriMo Challenge Rules (from their website truncated via wikipedia, thank you wikipedia editors!)

Writing starts at 12:00: a.m. on November 1 and ends >11:59:59 p.m. on November 30, local time.

No one is allowed to start early and the challenge finishes >exactly 30 days from that start point.

Novels must reach a minimum of 50,000 words before the >end of November in order to win. These words can either be >a complete novel of 50,000 words or the first 50,000 words >of a novel to be completed later.

Planning and extensive notes are permitted, but no >material written before the November 1 start date can go into >the body of the novel.

Participants’ novels can be on any theme, genre of fiction, >and language. Everything from fanfiction, which uses >trademarked characters, to novels in poem format, and >metafiction is allowed; according to the website’s FAQ, “If >you believe you’re writing a novel, we believe you’re writing a >novel too.”

“Rebelling” is allowed, as NaNoWriMo is considered a “self-challenge”; rebels are allowed to validate and thus receive any prizes from sponsors.
