Writing Challenges

Monthly

JaNoWriMo 
January Novel Writing Month is NaNoWriMo in January. 50,000 words in 31 days. If you don’t like the Live Journal community you can check out JaNoWriMo over at Ymaka Domain.

NaNoEdMo 
National Novel Editing Month is an online community of writers who, having written a novel, gather together every March for moral support in order to edit their work, whether for their own personal satisfaction or perhaps even for publishing.

JulNoWriMo 
July Novel Writing Month has a goal to write 50,000 words in the month of July, giving 31 days, one more than NaNoWriMo in November.

NaBloPoMo 
National Blog Posting Month is the epicenter of daily blogging! People who want to set the habit of blogging by doing it every day for a month, including weekends, can come here for moral support, inspiration, and the camaraderie that only marathon blogging can provide

NaPlWriMo 
National Playwriting Month is also in November with the challenge of writing a play. Sound simple? For a novel writer this could be more of a challenge than NaNoWriMo.

Fanstory 
Various types of contests and challenges. Money is given to the most voted on stories.

Year Long

NaNoPubYe
