November is National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo. The idea behind it is to challenge anybody that is interested in writing a novel to sit down and put pen to paper in the month of November. To complete a novel within that timeframe can mean writing 1,000 words per day. Some people enjoy the challenge and others finally find the motivation to write that novel that has been on their mind for years. The challenge starts tomorrow, so flex your fingers!
To help you reach your goal of writing a novel between November 1 and November 30, I have collected a list of distraction-free writing software or services. Many of these provide distraction-free writing environments so you can get your words down on paper and worry about formatting later.
