Welcome, writer-warriors! NoNotWriMo is our take on the classic National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) challenge.
Whether you're a current Freewrite user or new to the Freewrite community, make sure to register here. Participating in NoNotWriMo is absolutely free!
Once you're registered, follow the steps below to get ready before the challenge kicks off on November 1.
1) Decide how you'll be writing.
To take advantage of automatic stats tracking and leaderboard, you'll need to write on a Freewrite device or in our FREE in-browser app, Sprinter.
Don't forget we have an exclusive Freewrite discount for NoNotWriMo participants who want to complete the challenge on a new Freewrite. Register here to get the discount.
2) Create a Postbox account.
Our free platform, Postbox, will automatically keep track of your word count in November.
👉 If you already have a Postbox account, you can skip ahead to Step 3.
In order to track your word count and participate in the community-favorite leaderboard, you'll need to create a Postbox account. There are several ways to do this:
- Purchase a Freewrite. We even have an exclusive NoNotWriMo discount for participants. Make sure to register here for access to the discount. When you set up your new Freewrite, you'll be guided through the process of creating a Postbox account.
-
Use our free in-browser app, Sprinter. Simply begin writing in Sprinter and the first time you hit "save," you'll be prompted to set up your Postbox account.
3) Create your Postbox Profile.
In order to participate in the leaderboard, you'll need to set up a public Postbox Profile.
👉 If you already have a Postbox Profile, make sure it is set to "public" and continue to Step 4.
If you haven't set up your Postbox Profile yet, go to Postbox.GetFreewrite.com and log in to your new Postbox account. Navigate to the "My Account" page and fill out the "Pen Name" field, along with any other info you'd like to add.
Set your profile to public by selecting "Everyone (public)."
4) Join the leaderboard.
Race your fellow writers to the 50K finish line and watch your word count soar by opting in to the leaderboard.
To opt in, click here and hit the red “JOIN” button.
The leaderboard is automatic. After you opt in, all work written on your Freewrite devices or in Sprinter and synced to Postbox in November will automatically update your word count and your place on the leaderboard.
At the end of November, one participant will be chosen at random to win a special prize!
5) Keep up the momentum with live writing sprints.
Throughout the month, we'll send check-ins and invites to live community writing sprints with the Freewrite team and special guests. Make sure you're registered to receive these invites!
