We are on to a new week for the Book Blogger Hop hosted by the lovely folks over at Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. This weeks questions is:
Have you ever participated in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in November, and do you have any favorite books that were born from this writing challenge? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)
I have participated in NaNoWriMo. In fact, the first year I participated I managed to get to the 50,000 word goal and everything. I did absolutely nothing with the story afterwards because it was hot garbage and ran away from me, and I'm not even sure if I still have the draft anywhere. I've tried again a couple other times, but one of those years a blogger hosted BookBlogWriMo in November too, and I took part in that as well, and trying to keep up with those blog posts, writing 50K words, and take care of two young children meant that something had to give, and it was the story that was giving me writer's block anyway.
I'm not sure if I have any favorite books that were born from NaNoWriMo. I know I've read some, because I've read a lot of indie books, and I know NaNo tends to be a starting point for indie authors, but I don't have any books that I can point to them and say, "I loved that book, and I KNOW it was started during NaNo."
What about you? Have you ever participated in NaNoWriMo? Any favorite NaNo books I should definitely check out? If you're stopping by from the linkup, please be sure to drop a link to your post below so I can be sure to pay you a visit. - Katie

Wow that sounds like you were super busy! Reading and Blogging takes up my "spare" time as well. The kids are too little and too awake during the night for me to think about am event of that magnitude 😂

That's still super impressive to have written 50K in November with little ones to take care of! I think that was always the point of NaNoWriMo...just to get words down. They don't have to be perfect. So that is still an amazing fete!
