Novella November 2024 Announcement Post

Hate AI, but love writing challenges?

Want to take part in a global, fun project to write a Novella in one month?

Grab some friends, and take part in Novella November, by writing 1,000 words a day for the month of November, ending with a 30,000 word Novella to test and stretch your novel-writing skills!

Your goal is not perfection, but merely getting into the habit of writing a litte bit every single day :D

No website, no sign-ups -- Just a community initiative to write using only your own word!

What are the rules? Just Three so far!

#1 - No AI

#2 - No Plagiarizing

#3 - Wordcount for the month should only come from what you write during the month.

What does that mean?

Only words written during November should go towards your Wordcount for the month... but! Feel free to use your 30k words as a continuation of previous writing, or just make it the first 30k words in a longer novel!

Don't think you can write a whole entire 30k word story? Write a series of short stories that total up to 30k!

Not ready to write original works yet? Write a 30k word fanfiction that you can post after the month is over!

Share your writing experience, tips, encouragement, and questions in the #Novella November tag!

EDIT, from the tags: Want a progress tracker? Track your progress with TrackBear!

https://trackbear.app/

Don't have a word processor? Use LibreOffice , the free and open-source alternative to Microsoft Word!

Want to organize/storyboard your Novel and don't want to pay a subscription? Try 7writer by Simon Haynes!

Want to be able to listen to your story aloud for proofreading using TTS (text to speech)? Try Balabolka!

Or, create some custom progress / Goal Cards in advance you can fill out as you reach word goals! For ideas and templates, search this blog for "goal cards" :D

Want to do a writing challenge in more than just November? Check out my ideas here for year round challenges to keep you writing consistently! Got feedback? Send it in, I'd love to see everyone's ideas!

EDIT 2: I almost forgot to mention, if you are unable to write/type your story, you can also narrate/dictate your story to your preferred recording device!

If you're doing a Recording only and it doesn't automatically generate a transcript, it would obviously be hard to judge the word count -- but you're also working with a lot of obstacles, so I'd say if you're able to complete your story via voice recording from start to finish, you've definitely achieved the goal!

Edit #3: added the title "Novella November 2024 announcement post" to the top to make it more standard with my Ominous October and Drabble December posts (will be updating Outline October shortly) , added "Official Announcement Post 2024" to the tags so people can easily find the monthly events for 2024, and added a bit of bold to the third bullet point in the original post from September 2nd 2024 for emphasis.

"WHY WON'T THIS FUCKING THING STAY STILL?!"

Sometimes, it's okay not to practice what you preach. No, no, stay with me! Look, when I say this, I'm talking to people who, like me, share their own experiences and also give advice from time to time to helpol friends (and other pagans as well), And sometimes they feel like liars for not doing/believing everything they themselves say. If you've been following my blog for a while, you know how much I like to talk about the love of the gods, how they don't get angry at us, how they are by our side, how, even if we can't always give our most incredible things, we still give our best, and how it's okay to sometimes not give your best due to physical or mental health reasons, among other things.

But the truth is, I don't always feel loved, I don't always feel listened to, sometimes I just feel like a failure for not being able to do more than a prayer or devotional activity. And the thing is: we are human, we are irrational most of the time. I know the gods don't hate me, I know they love me, but not feeling that way all the time is consistent with my mental state. And it's okay if you feel that way too, and come online and tell other people that, despite everything, they're with us, even if deep down you sometimes feel like they're not.

You're not a liar, we're all just people trying to make our way in this world, and whatever we can do to help each other, we should do. We are a minority, truly, and helping others to establish themselves, even if you feel like you have no ground to stand on, is an admirable attitude.
