How To Win National Novel Writing Month Using Google Docs
Tomorrow marks day one of National Novel Writing Month, a 30-day, Web-enhanced festival of writing in which thousands of people force themselves (and encourage each other) to finally write that novel they've always had in the back of their brain. The NaNoWriMo website gives participants analytics to track the goal of writing 50,000 words in 30 days, and anyone who finishes is a winner.
We're longtime fans of NaNoWriMo here at RWW. Editor-in-Chief Richard MacManus documented his NaNoWriMo experience back in 2003, at the dawn of our site, and we checked back in after NaNoWriMo 2008 for its 10th anniversary. With the fun starting tomorrow (surprise!), Google Docs has offered some tips about how its free, cloud-based document suite can help us all win at NaNoWriMo.
NaNoWriMo: 'National Novel Writing Month' Still Going Strong After 10 Years
5 years ago, before this blog was a media business, I participated in NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month. It's an annual creative writing project, in which participants try to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. I did it in November 2003 and documented it in ReadWriteWeb. While the resulting work of art was very average, and thankfully long ago purged from the RWW server, I had a lot of fun writing the book and discovered some new things about myself.
In this post I check back in with the NaNoWriMo website to see what's changed over the years; and how much social web technology it's now using.
LiveBook Aims to Write Novel on Facebook, Bebo
LiveBook is a new collaborative writing project that aims to write two separate novels via applications on two different social networks: one on Facebook, the other on Bebo. The Facebook novel, "Helen and her Facebook" chronicles a girl named Helen who has just recently signed up on the social network, while the Bebo version, "Brian from Bebo," follows the similar tale, though this time it's a boy and Bebo. The stories are written sentence by sentence by the members each network with no outside editorial influence, though co-founder Dmitry Honcharenko thinks there exists the possibility for the two books to reference each other and for Helen and Brian to meet.
