AuthorHouse is backing our authors 100% as you take on the NaNoWriMo challenge this November. We are creating an AuthorHouse NaNoWriMo Challenge Team here on the Author’s Digest to act as a support group where you can encourage your fellow authors, offer advice and compare notes on your progress.
What is NaNoWriMo

Want to join Author House
I’m going to take the challenge of writing the novel starting in November it will be my first one if I’m successful
looking forward to “getting over the hump” this year and writing a novel
I’m definitely in! This is the perfect catalyst for me to get moving on the big idea I’ve been pondering and get it done! The suggested “free-writing” style to get the book done by end of month will be a fun ew approach. Can’t wait for Nov. 1st.
What are the rules for this challenge? Sounds like a great challenge.
I hope to write a novel in 30 days and send it to you. Please let me know the last date of submission. Thank you. Zacharia.
yes would love to join the challenge I have a romance novel in mind
I will definitely be joining this year’s challenge. It sounds well, challenging. Hopefully by 01 November my brain will be a bit more in gear ….
I want to join the NanoWriMo.
the perfect reason to get off my throne of procrastination and get my life in gear. I WILL BE JOINING THE CHALLENGE
I am up for the challenge!!
This is now my 6th year of that annual writing madness known as NaNoWriMo so I consider myself an old hand. I’ve been a winner 3 times, the 2 where I didn’t complete the 50k words were due to the interference of the ‘real world’. Sad, but it does happen.
I’d like to add a third tip here and that is: DO NOT EDIT AS YOU GO ALONG. I know I’m shouting but that is the biggest mistake that tyro NaNoers make. Remember it is the word-count that counts. Polishing the novel can come later, there is even a NaNoEdMo
Interested in the wditing month. Havg a time w/ a rewrite.
I like that you mention not editing as you are writing. I know from past experience in writing that it slows down the process quite a bit. I tend to write and then polish up later. Thanks for posting.
Please add me to the AuthorHouse NaNoWriMo team. I could use the encouragement and tips along the way to keep me going to the finish line. Where do I start with the outline process?
Hi, I am willing to take up the challenge of the AuthorHouse NaNoWriMo for 2012. I believe i can make it.
I do want to avail myself of this opportunity as I love writing fiction. I welcome dead lines.
I’ve been waiting for some fire underneath me to start a novel. I’m in the for the challenge!
Looking forward to the challenge. Last year I failed short, but I shall cross t he finish lines w/ a completed YA novel.
I want to join the AuthorHouse NaNoWriMo Challenge Team. Could you please let me know if there is any specific topic to write on or we can choose our own.
I would like to sign up for the challenge for NaNoWriMo. In fact, I am taking a class
at our library for this. I hope to have more people from my class enroll and I look forward
to writing a novel for you.
Thank you for including me in this challenge.
I’m in this year – i didn’t do it last yera because I hadn’t finished my book yet, but now it’s done, I think it’s time to write another!! Let me know!
I’m in!
This is an opportunity to ensure that my second book on Information Security comes out. Thank you.
I would love to join the challenge! This will help me stay disciplined and actually write!!
I’ll be taking part in the effort.
This is an exciting a challenging offer. It will motivate people to have a go at writing, if even it is for fun. AuthorHouse has published three of my books in one and half years. with I also encouraged my friend to have AuthurHouse publish his book l;ast year. I know the excitements seeing one’s works in print generates. It is indescribable.
I enjoy writing all the time, so I cherish this challenge.
I really really need to write this book. I’m in!
I would like to know more about this. Is it a contest for rewards, or we publish and pay for our book and what price
I hereby indicate my intention to partake in this year’s NaNoWriMo, please add me to the list.
I’ve been doing NaNoWriMo since 2004 and am up for it again this year. Looking forward to sharing as much support as I can stand.
Ok I’m in! El Chupacabras has been an idea and a research project so sure, why not get it written?
I would love to take on the challenge, but have some questions. Win lose or draw, do I have to publish? When? Under what obligation? Do I have to sign a contract up front? What’s the catch? Call me a sceptic, there it is. I will probably have more. These are the things that concern me the most right now. OBTW, Is the colaboration just between authors or does Authorhouse get involved in the creation process? Is this just a frenetic writing frenzy? Someone who has done this before give me a reason to do it!!
Let me join NaNoWriMo.
I am a member of Nanowrimo, this year will be my fourth year, I am now going to think about what to write about. I would love your words of encouragement 50,000 words in a month is not an easy cup of tea to drink. It is fun even if you do not make it you still have some words written to your credit, come and join us any one who has that passion to write
I am ready! This will be fun.
I am finally ready to attempt to write this book that has been placed on the back shelf for the last two years. I shall be joining in the writing challenge.
I’m in! This may be just what I need to get that story that has been running through my mind onto paper. Novel, here I come!
Do you explain to a certain topic or you just need to write a novel on any topic. Is this period set exactly? If I write not for 30 days, and do it before? As I understand it, the start of the year begins 11/01/2012. Thank you. Michael.
I’m waiting.
I’m in. It’s fun and one year helped me to finish my novel needed for the MFA in Creative Writing. This year I will finish the first draft of the third in that trilogy–knock on wood.
50,000 wrds in 30 days? Let’s see…roughly, 2,000 wrds a day – five pages, at 400 wrds per page – leaving five days, interspersed for proof-reading and editing. Hmmm. This could prove to be a most interesting objective and, let’ face it, who has anything better to do in November? I’m in.
I’m a NaNoRiMo veteran, having completed a manuscript in my other entry year. This year seems like a perfect time to re-enter, as I’m now retired and have more time. My secret was to have my setting and characters already worked up in advnance of the start of the month and the start of the writing. It helps to know where a story is going! –A.

I’m in!
Looking forward to the challenge : )

ok, I really need to start focusing. I, too, was in the process of another book when I learned of the challenge last year, so I failed by the end of the first week to meet the goal. One thing I learned though was not to worry about the daily word count. Setting a goal for 2000 words daily may seem the path (and it may be for some) to take, but I kicked myself for being a stickler for it. Good luck to all who enter. I hope to be an asset to our forum whether I stick it out or not – I am in.
I would like to take on the challenge!!!
I’d like to take this challenge. I have a dozen ideas for stories just bouncing around in my head, and I’ve started writing most of them. I’m almost finished with one, but this month I’d like to revise a little children’s story I wrote when I was ten, and make it better and cuter.
