superhero weekly feature themeCongrats on another successful year guys!  Good work! :party:

Hey there Rangers!  It's November and you know what that means!  Once again we're going to be participating in the NaNoWrMo Challenge this month!

What is NaNoWrMo? Why it's National Novel Writing Month!  A challenge to all writers to create a 50,000 word minimum Novel in the span of 30 days!  I hope you all decide to participate because its a lot of fun!  It doesn't matter if you consider yourself a writer first, its just a good excuse to try something creative. :la:

We're going to be hosting our own Ranger NaNoWrMo!  Those of you who participate will be informing us daily in the comments of this journal of your progress as you strive to complete this goal!  Let us know if you're taking on this challenge!

The only rule is the story has to be completely original.  Fan Fictions don't count.

If you've never written a Novel before, we urge you to try it out for fun!  And to see if you guys can create your own original adventure!

:bulletred: How to participate:
:star: Your goal is 50,000 words. :star:
-Begin a story in a program like Word and work on it every day of November.  Try to pace yourself, try to go for 2,000 words a day.  If you meet 2,000 words per day, you'll finish in no time!

-Post in the comments here every day with your Story Title, and your progress each day. We'll feature you and show the progress of your Novel for all to see!  You don't have to post the actual Novel on DeviantART, just tell us the Title and how you're doing on the word count!  It'll be fun for us to see how much you guys are doing in your works and help motivate others!  For fun!  This isn't a contest, it's encouragement towards setting and reaching a goal!

If you don't make it to the goal in time. That's fine!  This is for fun.  What matters is putting forth the effort and gaining a cool new experience!

I've never written a novel before, how do I do it?
It's really not too difficult if you pace yourself.  First you need to think of a setting for your characters, a conflict for them to face, and a goal for your characters to reach.  Start out by drawing on scrap paper what you think your characters might look like, you'd be surprised how many ideas you'll get by just drawing. (Even if you're like me and can't draw.  It still helps. :giggle: )

-You need a beginning, middle, and an end.
The beginnings are sometimes the hardest, but once you get involved with your characters, you'll find it gets easier.

-What genera should you write it?
It doesn't matter!  Whatever you like!  You might just write the story and see what genera it turns into.

Sound like fun guys?  Let’s try this out!  Make sure to update us with your progress and we'll keep track for you!
