NaNoWarmUp: Welcome to the Warm Up!

by Savannah J. Foley

We love NaNoWriMo. But as writers Kat and I aren't always 100% ready to commit to a full 50,000 words on a new or revamped project in the month of November. Plus, as writers with day commitments, it's often difficult to achieve 1,667 usable words.

That's why we created NaNoWarmUp. All the month of October we'll be 'warming up' for the main event in November, with a more manageable word count goal of 800 words per day, culminating in 25,000 new words by the time the month is over.

NaNoWriMo just isn't as much fun without the community aspect, and we knew NaNoWarmUp wouldn't be either, so we want to invite YOU to join us!
