Join the Quotables NaNoWriMo Club!

Quotables is a big supporter of writers and writing, and what better time to stoke the fires of creativity than during NaNoWriMo?

NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month. Taking place across the world in all 24 time-zones, the goal is to write a 50,000 word novel by midnight on 30th November. That’s 1,667 words per day!

Take a gander at this useful little ‘NaNoWriMo in a Nutshell‘ for more info.

You can keep updated on Twitter - @NaNoWriMo - and get involved in all the chatter and collaboration going on in the forums. 

Now that you’re all up to speed, Quotables invites you, NaNoWriMo-ers, to join the Quotables NaNoWriMo Club. You’ll receive a daily motivational writing quote direct to your inbox (you can even choose the time of day!). Members who ‘win’ (complete their novel) will get sent a beautifully printed up booklet of the 30 quotes to keep forever!

**Sign up over here. (it just takes a few seconds & we promise to never spam you!)**

We’ll also be posting oodles of writing quotes throughout the month on Twitter @QuotablesLoves, and you can keep up-to-date with our own novel-writing efforts by following @QuotablesHQ.

If you live near Glasgow, you can even come along to our Quotables NaNoWriMo Write In, with free coffee and toasties for all – details coming soon.

To get those creative juices flowing, we’ve handpicked a nice little top 10 quotables to kick-start your month of writing… good luck!

NaNoWriMo Inspiration

1. Write the book you want to read. 
— Chuck Palahniuk

2. A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people. 
— Thomas Mann

3. The best time to plan a book is while you are doing the dishes. 
— Agatha Christie

4. Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say ‘infinitely’ when you mean ‘very’; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. 
— C. S. Lewis

5. Writing is like having a poo. You can’t force it. 
— Graham Linehan

6. Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret of style. 
— Matthew Arnold

7. I think a writer’s life is the ideal life.
— P. G. Wodehouse

8. You must write every single day of your life… You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads… may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world. 
— Ray Bradbury

9. When you’re writing a book, it’s rather like going on a very long walk, across valleys and mountains and things […] The highest mountain on the walk is obviously the end of the book, because it’s got to be the best view of all, when everything comes together and you can look back and see that everything you’ve done all ties up. But it’s a very, very long, slow process.

— Roald Dahl

10. Tomorrow may be hell, but today was a good writing day, and on the good writing days nothing else matters. 
— Neil Gaiman
