What is NoWriMoMo? A way to find support, accountability and community and get your questions answered in order to complete a nonfiction goal in the month of November.
If you want to get your nonfiction book written, in addition to the specifics of how to write the book, you’ll need consistent motivation and support—two things many people do not receive in their penned journey.
In the spirit of National Novel Writing Month and creating a sense of camaraderie, for the month of November, discussion on the Bring Your Book to Life Facebook Page will support writers to set goals in their nonfiction writing and complete them by month’s end.
What’s your goal? Complete an article? Four blog posts? Four chapters in a book? State your goal today and let us know when you’ll be writing.
All month long you’ll find support from fellow writers, a place to state your commitments, and opportunity to be accountable. In addition—and as always—feel free to ask questions and I’ll answer you. We’ve come up with themes for each week, but as far as questions go, feel free to stray from the specific theme to ask whatever it is that will help you complete your November nonfiction goal.
Here’s the schedule for the month:
November 2 – 6: Set up for Success and Introduce Yourself.
