The 30-day limit encourages people to use their creativity and gives them the opportunity to write a novel, something that many may never actually set aside time for.
“You’ve got nothing to lose, except for a tremendously fun month and the awesome accomplishment of completing the rough draft of that novel you’ve been wanting to write for as long as you can remember,” NaNoWriMo program director, Lindsey Grant, wrote on the website.
The writing challenge boosts participants’ confidence and shows them their own abilities which were unknown before, according to Grant.
“NaNoWriMo shows you what is actually possible,” she wrote. “If you can write a novel in a month, by the end of the experience, you think, oh my gosh, what else am I capable of?”
“One of the wonderful discoveries about NaNoWriMo is that the novels that come out of this experience are ideal for reshaping and revising,” Grant wrote.
These drafts have even launched 60 published novels, including ”Water for Elephants,” written by the New York Times No. 1 bestselling author Sara Gruen.
The novel is now being made into a film starring Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon.
