The Plot Geek Academy November Novel Challenge
It’s time to get ready for the November Novel Challenge! This one day workshop will help you prepare for creating 50,000 new words in November this year.
What is the November Novel Challenge?
The November Novel Challenge is designed to teach you good writing habits and show you exactly what you are capable of when you have a specific goal, a deadline, and a plan in place. Thousands of writers have completed similar challenges under the National Novel Writing Month format, NaNoWriMo.
Things will kick off with a FREE November Novel Challenge Workshop on October 26th! There will be free accountability sessions throughout November, and some members of our team will be writing right alongside you.
The Behuman link will be open from October 26th at 10 MST through the end of November. You can come and meet others there casually, or every Wednesday from 7-10 MST, or Saturday mornings in November from 8-11 MST. Join us!
November Novel Challenge Write-ins and Accountability
The Plot Geeks will be doing the November Novel Challenge with you! I'll be working on a new novel I've had in my head for a while along with doing some other projects along the way. So we'll all be shooting for the same goal. We'll have accountability sessions and virtual write-ins throughout the month.
Feel free to invite your friends to join the community and write with you. the event is FREE and open to anyone, so don't hesitate to use the online space and reach out to us if you have any questions. The link won't change throughout the month, so share away!

Frequently asked questions:
Why not NaNoWriMo?
The non-profit organization, NaNoWriMo has faced some challenges and difficulties internally and with the handling of those issues in a public forum, so many people are leaving the organization. At the Plot Geek Academy, we do not align with the the positions taken by NaNoWriMo, but we believe the process of writing 50,00 new words in a month still has value. So we want to offer authors an alternative.
What Will I Learn at the November Novel Challenge Workshop?
At the November Novel Challenge workshop on October 26th, you'll learn:
How to Prepare Your Process
Whether you are a discovery writer or a plotter and architect, there are things you can do to prepare to write 50K words in one month. We’ll give you some tips and tricks that have worked for us and other writers to set your feet on the path to success.
How to Prepare Your Mindset
Whether this is your first or your 10th time trying to write 50,000 words in a month, there are things you can do to get your brain ready to accomplish this goal. There’s no time for writer’s block or for staring into space. From write-ins to accountability to goal setting and even appointment setting, we’ll help you get in the right head space for the November Novel Challenge.
How to Prepare Your Writing Space
From a comfortable chair to a standing desk, and from noise canceling headphones to white noise machines, everyone has something that helps them concentrate. But you may need other things, like a Pomodoro timer, a phone lock box, and more. We’ll show you our setups, talk about the tools we use, and give you advice on how to make your space the welcoming place it needs to be.
How to Prepare Your Friends and Family
The November Novel Challenge will take up a lot of your headspace, time, and energy. Not to mention that there is some kind of holiday in the middle involving turkey, football, and family time. So how do you prepare your friends and family, and let them know how important this is to you? We’ll give you tips and tricks, and things you can do to keep your life balanced while still achieving your goals.
