Sunday Literary News: InkieNoWriSum

I'm am posting my first ever Sunday Literary News which will contain interesting news about the literary world.  Today I have but one story, but it will be good.

I don't know how many of you know about Inkpop, but it is a writing website, geared towards Young Adult works, that I am part of.  It is a wonderful community where people can safely post their works for the world to see and talk to other like-minded writers.  So, some lovely Inkies, as we are called, decided to put together a summer event called InkieNoWriSum.  It is pretty much the same thing as NaNoWriMo, except it takes place during the summer.  I know I have lost a couple of you by now, so I shall explain.

NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month.  It is an event that takes place in November where writers worldwide attempt to write a 50,000 word novel in one month.  I will talk about this more come November, where I will try the challenge for a second time, and hopefully win.  I suffered a miserable defeat last year and I need to redeem myself.  Anyway, for more info, go here:

InkieNoWriSum stands for Inkie Novel Writing Summer.  It is pretty much the same thing, except you have the entire summer to reach a writing goal of your choice.  My goal this summer is to finish my novel.  I have a writing buddy I'm working with so we can complete our goal together, which may help succeed.  And right now, my fellow readers, I have decided that if I accomplish my goal, it will make up for my NaNoWriMo failure!  Woohoo!

Okay, so how many of you are up for the challenge?  Let me know by posting the comments.  I will be rooting for you!

Oh, and here is a link to Inkpop:
