Pure Procrastination: Inside the Notebook

Lo and behold, it’s time for yet another spotlight Saturday! When thinking of websites to refer you guys to, I always try to think of stuff you probably haven’t heard of, but today, I’ve decided to give you one that you’d be DEAD if you hadn’t heard of. This site is the source of all my writing encouragement (aside from you guys), and so many other helpful responses. May I give you, NaNoWriMo! (the forums in particular)

I actually happen to own an account on this site, I’m PYRE13, so feel free to send me a few  messages with nanomail if you too own one.

This site is so incredibly helpful, its unbelievable. It’s possibly the largest, friendliest free writing community out there, not to mention the most helpful. There’s a forum for just about everything, from music to write to (as I featured in the previous post) to writing tricks to character and plot realism Q&A. Anything you need is here. There are even boards for general talking, specific boards for genres, such as fantasy, and boards for MMO players! *sigh* I love this site.

I guess I SHOULD mention the point of the site. Keep in mind that actually doing this is OPTIONAL. Every November (yikes! It’s just around the corner!) it is [almost] every member’s goal to write a 50,000 word novel, or just 50,000 words if your like me, within the month. Don’t worry, the goal is quantity, not quality. But, since I just use it as an excuse to write more, I personally go for the other way around, mainly because I want to get published.

So, explore the forums! Explore the site! See how you like it! Join! I’ll be waiting!
