Next month, I will be participating in Picture Book Idea
Month (PiBoIdMo) http://taralazar.com/piboidmo/
and National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) http://nanowrimo.org/.
Registration for PiBoIdMo starts October 24. You can sign up now for NaNoWriMo. Both events are online and start November 1
and end November 30. Winners are
eligible for prizes. See each website for details.
PiBoIdMo began in 2008 by children’s author, Tara
Lazar. Her book, The Monstore, was released in June of this year by Aladdin, an
imprint of Simon & Schuster.
Chris Baty started NaNoWriMo in 1999. His book, No Plot? No Problem! A Low-Stress,
High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days, is a recommended read
for NaNoWriMo participants.
This will by my first year for PiBoIdMo. This is my second
year for NaNoWriMo. It will be a challenge trying to do both!
Will you join me?
