NaNoWriMo stands for Nation Novel Writing Month, in which you write a 50,000 word novel in a month. If you are younger than 17 you can participate in the young writer's program, where you can set your own word count. If older than 13, you may in the regular NaNoWriMo which you write a set goal of 50,000. I think I have everything there.
Okay, update on my NaNo novel. I've got 47,100+ words, and I hope to jack it up to maybe even 50,000, but as I am doing the Young Writer's Program, I have set my goal to even higher, 60,000. A challenge indeed, but a challenge I have excepted full-heatedly and shall not loose.
Farewell,
The Kid Author
P.S. Writing tips coming later today/early tomorrow.
