Nanowrimo is NAtional NOvel WRIting MOnth, the challenge to write a first draft of a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. It's possible to do even if you have a full-time job, but it is not easy. There's an informal group of Montreal-area nanowrimo-ers getting together once a week during October and November to talk problems out, assist and encourage one another, commiserate, and have fun. Currently we are meeting on Wednesday evenings at about 7PM in the Second Cup in Central Station.

For information about local events, follow the links from that site to forums, then to regional lounges, and finally to Canada, Quebec, Montreal. Or just show up at one of our weekly meets. Some participants like to plan their novels in advance. Others find it works better to have no preconceptions at all about what their novels are to be and start cold on November 1. There are no fees, no age limits, and no formal requirements to participate. You just need the willingness to try.
