| For a lot of people, October is about Halloween and all that the occasion inspires. As someone who comes from a country where Halloween is not widely celebrated or considered important, I find it interesting to see what else is out there. And the most obvious (apart from the exciting fact that the huge fireworks extravaganzas of Guy Fawkes Night are on their way!) is that it is National Novel Writing Month in November and so all the novelists (and would-be novelists) are in full preparation mode. What has the site got in store for those doing NaNo this year, and what about those who aren't? |

National Novel Writing Month (also known as NaNoWriMo) is understandably a big deal on a writing site like Writing.com. We have our share of published and unpublished novelists, and even more wannabe novelists who are still hoping to complete their first novel. Currently, most of those planning to participate are busy working on outlines, developing characters, and stocking up on microwavable dinners in the hope that they'll manage to write 50,000 words of their new novel in November.
There are a number of NaNoWriMo-themed activities around the site, including the "October Novel Prep Challenge" which has been running full steam since October 1st. I'll list some more activities you might like to check out below.
But what if you're not doing NaNoWriMo? Don't despair!  There are still plenty of things going on in late-October and November for you too. There are, of course, a number of Halloween-themed contests that close on 31 October. There are also heaps of monthly activities and contests that run continuously throughout the year.
Just a tip from someone who has sat through a few Novembers on this site... November is typically a quiet month for contest entries. If you're a little shy about putting your name forward, this is the perfect time, because the competition is not quite as fierce as it can be.  |
