Today marks the beginning of a thrilling journey that writers worldwide eagerly anticipate—National Novel Writing Month, better known as NaNoWriMo. If you’re new to this incredible event or a seasoned Wrimo, you’ve come to the right place! I’m excited to kick off the first day of NaNoWriMo with you.
As a founder of the Write Now Facebook group and Discord server, I aim to create a supportive and inspiring community for writers. This is the perfect place to unite our efforts during NaNoWriMo. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or someone who has never attempted writing a novel before, the community is here to encourage and assist you.

The group provides a chat where you can engage in conversation, get advice, and meet people who share your passion for writing.

During NaNoWriMo, it’s incredibly motivating to have writing buddies working towards their goals alongside you. If you’d like to connect with me and other writers on the NaNoWriMo website, simply search for my username, J.R.ROGUE, and send a buddy request. I’d love to be your writing companion throughout this exciting month.
For those unfamiliar with NaNoWriMo, the goal is to write a 50,000-word novel within November. That’s approximately 1,667 words per day. While this may seem like a daunting task, remember you’re not alone. So, as you embark on this NaNoWriMo adventure, remember a few key points:
- Set Realistic Goals: While the 50,000-word target is the ultimate goal, set your own writing goals that suit your schedule and writing style.
- Stay Consistent: Daily writing can accumulate!. Even on your busiest days, try to squeeze in a few words.
- Don’t Fear the First Draft: NaNoWriMo is all about getting your ideas on paper. Perfection can come in later drafts.
- Join Discussions: Engage with community on Facebook, Discord, Instagram, Threads, etc… Share your progress, ask for advice, and inspire others.
- Celebrate Milestones: Celebrate your writing milestones, reaching 10,000 words or sticking to your daily writing routine.
Let’s make this NaNoWriMo an unforgettable journey together. Feel free to reach out in the Write Now Facebook group or Discord server, and don’t forget to add me as your NaNoWriMo buddy! There is also a growing book community on Threads, and I would love to connect there! https://www.threads.net/@j.r.rogue
