NaNoRiMo Now Everybody thinks they have a novel in them, but how many actually end up writing one? For those so inclined, the National Novel Writing Month sets would-be novelists the task (and gives them an opportunity) of writing an entire 50,000 word novel in the month of November. It's Katie Anderson's first NaNo, while Kirsty Logan is an old hand at the event- they both offer their take on the process and how it has shaped them as writers. Also, Professor Michael Schmidt from the English literature department at Glasgow University offers his thoughts on the event and it's place in the world of writing.
