If you've ever wanted to try your hand at writing a novel, NaNoWriMo is a high-velocity, low-expectations way to jump in. As you might guess, the Typewriter Brigade is a subculture unto itself, with many familiar names from around the Typosphere, plus a few new crazies that manage to get ensnared by our wit, charm, and tiny helpful rhinosceri.
We can't promise fame, fortune, or (alas) a future living easy on royalty payments, but we can provide a month of entertainment, amusement, and convivial companionship as we all attempt to squeeze 50,000 words of vaguely readable fiction out of our brains in 30 all-too-short days.
Check your machines carefully: you might just have a rhino of your own that wants to come out and play this November...

Go for it! (And hey, typewriters ARE technology.)
I think I'm going to write 30 novels next month. More precisely, 30 sentences from novels that ought to exist.
Love the first photo even if I am not doing NaNo.
I pulled it off in 2015, mostly on an Olympia SG1 and an SM9. Feels like it might be time to do it again.
