Why You Should Write a Book in June
This month for the A to Z challenge, I’m highlighting twenty-six reasons (alphabetically, of course) why you should write a book in June.
JuNoWriMo is our spin off of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) that takes place in June, challenging you to write 50,000 words in thirty days. In the past two years, JuNoWriMo has inspired hundreds of writers to get their books written, including myself. June is the perfect month to stop procrastinating and get that book written.
Why should you write a book in June? Here’s one reason.
T is for Test Yourself
The first time I did a novel writing challenge, I wasn’t sure how I’d do. Would it be incredibly difficult? Impossible? Everything was uncertain. But I used that challenge to test myself: did I have it in me to finish? That question drove me forward the whole month. It was the same way the first time I decided to write a book. I knew it was a risky decision, but I dared myself to not just start, but finish.
I work well under pressure, so personal dares enhance my motivation to complete anything. If you jump on board for JuNoWriMo 2014, it’s your chance to test yourself. Can you do it? Can you write 50,000 words in a month?
You’ll never know until you try.
It’s Your Turn
JuNoWriMo 2014 is going to be bigger and better than ever, so don’t miss this opportunity to write that book. I dare you to write 50,000 words in June. If you accept my challenge, know that you won’t be in it alone. You’ll be writing alongside hundreds of other authors who are going for the exact same thing, and that’s the best way to write. It’s gonna be stinkin’ awesome.
