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!
