How to sign up for NaNoWriMo

So, you've decided to take on the challenge to write a novel in just one month...

Awesome! Here's what you need to do:

  1. Take a look at the NaNoWriMo Young Writers Program here;
  2. After October 1st (they will relaunch the website then), sign up;
  3. Join the group HMS Young Writers;
  4. Set your word count;
  5. Download the free NaNoWriMo workbook, and do some pre-writing.
Okay, so just how do you set your word count? There are a couple of ways to do this:
  1. Go here, Word-Count Goal Calculator, and type away;
  2. See the chart below for suggestions. There are 3 columns, so you can choose a low, middle or high word-count goal.
