Ever thought you might want to write a novel someday? The task can seem so daunting that most people put it off indefinitely. So how about writing a novel in just 30 days?rnThat challenge might seem nuts, but it has led thousands of people around the world to participate in National Novel Writing Month (nanowrimo.org). Starting at midnight on November 1, they begin scribbling or typing their way furiously forward. The goal: write 50,000 words by the time December dawns.rnIf, like me, you never thought you had a novel in you, NaNoWriMo is a great way to prove yourself wrong. While a nimble brain and dogged persistence are the most important qualities for getting to the summit of this particular mountain, you can also call on some excellent Mac-based writing tools to reach the top.
