We’re about two weeks away from this year’s [National Novel Writing Month](https://nanowrimo.org/?ref=justincox.com)(NaNoWriMo). The annual challenge encourages writing 50,000 words in November — it amounts to about 1,667 words per day. Are you up for the challenge?

Note that NaNo isn’t **always* about novels. Sure, the official nonprofit has its focus, but I love the idea of dedicating a month to an **intense* writing challenge.

Maybe you’re looking to pick up a pen and start writing for the first time. Perhaps it’s been a while, and you want to create again. Or, maybe you’ve always wanted to try writing in a different genre and needed a good excuse.

Whatever your reason, create your own challenge this November. Make it something that **isn’t* easily achievable, so you have to put in the effort and create the discipline.

For the next week, my book, [Write Now: How To Pursue Your Dream And Start Writing Today!](https://amzn.to/3a25MPd?ref=justincox.com), is on sale in every Amazon store. Plus, I’ll randomly send a free digital copy to someone who responds to this email or post with how you’re challenging yourself this November. My book is filled with encouragement to write **now* and could be the inspiration you need to get moving.

Please respond to this, and let’s see what your November challenge is all about. I’ll compile a list and check in with you during November. I’m all about encouragement and accountability here.

You have two weeks to prepare. Are you ready? Let’s go!
