Are you getting ready for NaNoWriMo? National Novel Writing Month starts tomorrow! (See last week’s post for an explanation of NaNoWriMo.)

I received several questions when I wrote about NaNoWriMo last week, and thanks to people who wrote to share their advice with me on how to make it through the month and accomplish the 50,000-word goal. I also wanted to pass along a link to a free e-book called NaNo for the New and the Insane: A Guide to Surviving NaNoWriMo by Lazette Gifford. It’s full of preparation tips as well as survival strategies for making it through the month.

Also, The Institute of Children’s Literature did an interview last week with Ann Gonzales called “NaNo Evangelism.” Ann sold the book Running for My Life (available spring, 2009) which was written in a previous NaNo month. Be sure to also check out the interview for helpful tips and inspiration.

I’ll update as we go through November, and if you’re a NaNoWriMo writer in 2008, look me up on the site. My name there is I-write-4-kidz.
