NaNoWriMo has fallen.
A band of rebels known as NoNotWriMo has risen to take its place.
Every November, writers around the globe attempt to write 50,000 words in one month. But last year the organization behind the beloved National Novel Writing Month disintegrated.
In 2025, it's more important than ever to support feats of human creativity. So an intrepid group of humans has banded together to face the antagonist of our age.
Join us in the fight against the Modern Prometheus.

The challenge is the same.
The rules are different.
YOUR TASK:
Write 50,000 words in November.
The rules:
No generative AI. No cheat codes.
Just you and your brain — and a community of like-minded writers fighting against the onslaught of the Modern Prometheus.

What are we up against?
The Modern Prometheus is the personification of generative AI, social media, endless notifications, email, screens — everything that prevents us from the simplicity of what humans long to do:
Write.
Every word you write is a hit in the fight against the AI-fication of everything, the theft of your focus, your attention, the finite minutes in your life.
As the NoNotWriMo word count soars in November, the creature will weaken. The more people who join the challenge, the faster it will topple, so invite your wordiest friends.

FAQ
What does it cost to join NoNotWriMo?
Nothing! Just your creativity, which, thankfully, is a resource that replenishes the more you use it.
Do I need to own a Freewrite to participate?
No, everyone who can prove they're human is welcome. Register for NoNotWriMo and you'll receive an email with all the details on how to use Freewrite's free Postbox platform to track your writing stats.
Do I have to write a novel?
No. Unlike the original NaNoWriMo, we aren't focused only on fiction. There are journalers, bloggers, memoirists, and dabblers already signed up!
I don’t get the Modern Prometheus reference...
Mary Shelley gave her genre-defining monster epic Frankenstein the subtitle "The Modern Prometheus" in 1816. This is our ode to her questions about the advancement of humanity, our Modern Prometheus for 2025.
