Getting Your Ducks in a Row for Nanowrimo may Take Payday Loans, Part I

What is NaNoWriMo?

Getting your ducks in a row . . .

I, like a lot of people around the globe, am preparing my life (and my mind) for this, the tenth annual National Novel Writing Month by taking out payday loans and following the steps below.

Called NaNoWriMo for short, the official event takes place all throughout the month of November, with the last of the people meeting the collective goal being verified right before the clock strikes midnight on December 1. Over 101,000 people participated in it last year, with well over 17,000 meeting or beating the event’s collective goal.

So, what is the goal? Participants of NaNoWrimo, nicknamed Wrimos, work for thirty straight days, aiming to produce a 50,000 word piece of fiction spanning whatever genre and/or subject matter they choose. You name the genre, someone, somewhere in the world, has probably at least attempted to write something within it for the event.

Now, as you might’ve guessed, some might charge a Wrimo with being insane. After all, believing you can write 50,000 words in 30 days or less might be considered crazy talk; especially if you’re not too eloquent with words. Regardless, hundreds of thousands still sign up, devoting large portions of their lives for an entire month and sometimes taking out payday loans to achieving literary infamy.

Preparing for NaNoWrimo.

But, before you can take the leap, there are some preparations that all goal-achieving Wrimos must make before November 1 at midnight. Yes, in this way, trying to write a 50,000 word piece of literature in a month, which divides out to at least 1,667 words per day, is like competing in the Iditarod or a triathlon. You need to condition yourself to handle such a workload; your mind has to be in shape, and you can’t be falling asleep after an hour with your face planted firmly in your keyboard.

Next time, we’ll talk about getting your environment ready to make some art, and how payday loans can help you if the contest hinders your ability to make ends meet in November.
