Why?

For some, writing 50,000 words is 30 days can be accomplished with ease. For the rest of us, it can be a fairly daunting task, but certainly an achieveable goal. If you have advice or suggestions to help writers achieve their goal, please email them to admin@nanowrimo.net for inclusion on this page.

Do not edit or spell check as you write. The goal is to write 50,000 words. Stopping every few minutes to fix spelling or grammar issues is a waste of time that is better spent writing! The best option would be to disable spell check / grammar checking in whatever software you are using when writing.
