1,667 words a day X 30 days = 50,000 words

Examples of novels that are approximately 50,000 words:

— Of Mice and Men — Brave New World —

— The Adventures of Tom Sawyer — The Great Gatsby —

— True Grit — The Catcher in the Rye —

If the title of this post makes no sense to you, perhaps you've never heard of NaNoWriMo, otherwise known as National Novel Writing Month. That would be when writers all over the world attempt to write 50,000 words between November 1st and November 30th. They (we) will be writing the rough draft of a novel. Some of these novels may eventually be published. Will mine be one of them? Will yours?  I'm in!  Sign up here, if you too want to be a crazy writer.
