If you haven’t yet heard about it, National Novel Writing Month (or #NaNoWriMo) is a yearly, internet-based project that encourages participants to write a novel during the month of November. From November 1st until the deadline at 11:59 PM on November 30th, people are encouraged, inspirited, and motivated to write 50,000 words (the general minimum number of words for a work to be considered a novel). Here are 23 tweets from participants and supporters to get you inspired.

Naysayers of #NaNoWriMo always make me laugh. This is a personal journey, so criticism of someone’s method is a complete waste of time.
