A fun and quick run down on what National Novel Writing Month is and how you can be ready for it. I would definitely recommend it for first-time Wrimos and to even the veteran ones for a few good laughs. It's informative and useful!

I love this book! It helped me win my very first Nano in 2007 with practical steps for success. Gifford is now offering it as an easily accessed ebook for a variety of ebook readers (yay!) and has also been newly edited and revised!

Not only is the information good for Nano, but also for writing first drafts outside of Nano. A must-have!

This is a fast, enjoyable read for anyone who's thought about jumping into National Novel Writing Month. Gifford is a professional writer, editor, and publisher who's been a part of NaNoWriMo for years, and still loves it. She punctures misconceptions, makes it clear it's not for everybody, but might be exactly right for you. As if that isn't enough (and all for free), there's a good deal of practical writing advice that's worth checking out even if you think NaNo is a creation of the devil, to be undertaken at the risk of your creative soul
