November is National Novel Writing Month (aka NaNoWriMo), and founder/author Chris Baty has some words for those who are planning to use any of the following excuses to sit it out this year:
1) “I’m too busy.”
2) “I’m not a writer.”
3) “I’ve done NaNoWriMo before. Do I really need another unfinished manuscript on my hard drive?”
4) “No one can write a good book in 30 days.”
5) “I don’t have any ideas.”
