It’s that time of year again for the IPAL sponsored Spring NovelRama! That’s right, our four-day frenzied writing weekend is back, ready to help you reach your 2018 writing goals, and we’re ready to go. Are you?
What is NovelRama, you ask? It’s where you, the writer, work hard to write 25K in four days. That’s merely 6,250 words a day! You can do this!
NovelRama is great if you need to:
- Finish that novel.
- Start the next novel.
- Make headway on a work in progress or multiple works in progress.
Could your 2018 writing goals use a 25K jumpstart? Yes? Good.
Mark your calendar for March 23-26, 2018! Get time off from the day job, let the family know you’ll be unavailable, and lock yourself in your writing cave. Don’t forget snacks.
But wait – there’s more!
Do you know a young aspiring novelist? Are you a teacher looking for a fun class project near the end of March? This year we’re introducing NovelRama Jr. – a smaller word count for our younger writer participants! For them, it’s 5,000 words in four days. That’s only 1,250 words a day. Winning young writers who participate by posting their daily word counts (with parental permission, of course) will also be entered in a drawing to win fabulous NovelRama prizes!
So gather your young and old(er) writing friends, your writing friends from all over the globe (as this event is open to all writers, everywhere), and head on over to our Facebook event page at: https://www.facebook.com/events/182245569201878/
Click “Going” or “Interested” and starting March 23, visit the page daily for the following inspiring events to help you reach the 25K (or 5K) goal:
- Inspirational videos by IPAL and PAL members!
- Word sprints!
- Word Count Shout Outs!
- Encouragement
- Commiseration with other writers.
- Hilarious Llama memes.
- A Sunday afternoon virtual online hangout (So you don’t have to leave the house or be alone – an introvert’s dream!)
- Fabulous prize drawings for those who participate all weekend and meet the final word count!
All participants will have access to milestone and winner or participant graphics to share their insanity and commitment to their writing project(s) with the rest of the world via social media.
So – are you in? Let’s do this!!
(Note: If for any reason you can’t make this NovelRama – never fear. We do our summer NovelRama August 10-13, 2018!)
