JANO 2013


Sleuths’ Ink Presents

JANO 2013

 

Join us January 1st  for the 4th Annual JANO

 Modeled after the popular NaNoWri in November, JANO participants write a 50,000 word novel in January.

Three reasons January is the perfect time to write a novel:

1.    You get one extra day in January, making your daily writing goal 1613 words.

2.    The HOLIDAYS ARE OVER!

3.    We celebrate with a PARTY in February where we give away PRIZES!!!
 
For more details, check out our JANO 2013 page at the right.

Good Luck, Janos! I participated in NaNo five times and have five (very) rough drafts to show for it. My first NaNo novel CHICAGO STORIES: WEST OF WESTERN)is up on Kindle, and the second (ALONG THE RAVENSWOOD) will be by the end of this week. Just forget everything else and get that 1667 words out every day and you'll get there. Don't edit, don't worry about spelling or grammar, just get the story out. You can clean it up later. I try to write one chapter every day and generally don't have a thought in hell about what the next chapter will be--just wing it. Sounds iffy but that has letme comeup with fresh ideas I'd never have found otherwise. Good luck, writers!
