Eh...now that I read back over this it doesn't seem like it fits the blog. It's just encouragement, and it's kind of short. LOL! Tell me if you think it should even go in there.


The End of Nano

It’s over! Nanowrimo, National Novel Writing Month, is finally done. Writers all over the world are getting their lives back after going through a grueling, November quest. The object: to write a fifty thousand word novel without losing sanity!
To those of you who won…
Congratulations! It’s nice to see you in the winner’s circle. Keep up the good work, and enjoying your novel. December is Editing Month!
To those who couldn’t quite finish this year…
There is no magic number that ushers you into the world of incredible writers. The important thing is that you enjoy the journey. Don’t feel left out because you can’t crank out fifty thousand words. Sometimes you need a break from your novel. Sometimes life interferes with word goals. And some people just don’t fit with the rushed writing sprint that Nanowrimo encourages. You can be a gifted writer, changing the world for God’s kingdom without ever finishing a single Nanowrimo.
And to those who never even started, there’s always November 2011! There are good things to be said about National Writing Month, especially learning to write when you don’t feel like it, learning to force yourself through those Museless spots and into the glorious land of inspiration.
Whether you “won” Nano, or couldn’t quite finish, or didn’t even have the time to sign up for it this year, I (insert ‘the forum team’)would encourage you to keep writing! Just because it’s December 1st doesn’t mean this exciting voyage is over! Keep writing, keep coming up with ideas, and don’t give up on the novel you wrote. Edit it! Keep working on it, and see where it takes you.
Looking forward to writing with you next year. Until then, God Bless,

I will defer to Sir Emeth here, and send him a PM.

Good concept for an article!

I would like it to be just a tad longer though. Perhaps provide a bit more helpful content. Perhaps a bit like this article:

Ok. I edited it. Is that a bit better? If it's still too short, I understand.

I liked it--I didn't do NaNo but it was encouraging. =) Just one thing. You started two paragraphs with "To those who..." but then the last paragraph you did "If you never even started NaNo..." Maybe you could adjust that to match the first two?

done.

I like it. Very good.

Ok! How can I post it?

You become an author.

I know I'm just...slightly confused as to how that actually works. I don't do well with internet things.

Do you currently have an account on the HW blog?

No. And I have no idea how to make one either.

Problem fixed. You are in.

Since this submission has been posted, I will now archive this thread.
