For aspiring Hemingways, right now is a particularly appropriate time to shake off the writer’s block and glue yourself to a keyboard, because November is National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo. (No, I didn’t just make that up; it’s the official abbreviation.)

Signing up is simple and free at NaNoWriMo’s website. Then, the race is on. The goal is for participants to write a 50,000-word novel before the clock hits midnight on Nov. 30.
