It’s official—NaNoWriMo has arrived.

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is an annual challenge that invites writers from around the globe to unleash their imaginations and write a 50,000-word novel in just 30 days!

If the idea of writing 50,000 words in one month feels daunting, NaNoWriMo is also a fantastic way for writers, both seasoned and new, to push themselves creatively. And that’s really the true goal.

How can you prioritize your creativity?

One thing we’ve noticed at Hasmark is that our authors are among some of the busiest people we know. Some are doctors who barely get a minute to breathe between patients. Some run multiple businesses. Others have thriving careers that take them traveling across the globe. And some are deeply involved in advocacy and philanthropic work.

But they all have one thing in common: a desire to leave behind, inked on paper, a piece of wisdom, a message, or a lesson to share with the world.

It’s no wonder that despite wild schedules, many return to write book two, book three, or have just caught the bug to create an entire series.

With NaNoWriMo in full swing, we’re hearing all sorts of thoughts about the pressure to write 50,000 words and complete a novel by the end of the month.

• Some don’t think they can make time to write 1,666 words each day.
• Some dive right in, finding the goal enough to keep them on track.
• And others want to participate but feel it’s impossible to achieve with the demands of daily life.

The true spirit of NaNoWriMo isn’t simply about reaching 50,000 words—it’s about carving out time for your creativity, your writing, and your craft. It’s a moment to put your ideas and stories first, even if just for a short time each day.        

Whether or not you hit the word count, what truly matters is that you’ve chosen to align your life with your writing, even for a short while. Each word you put down is progress, a step closer to bringing your story to life. And at the end of the month, you’ll find that you’ve woven writing into your daily rhythm, made it a priority, and perhaps discovered a new side of yourself as a writer.

At Hasmark, we believe that your stories and expertise have an even greater potential—especially for those passionate about education. Many of our authors are now expanding their impact by transforming their insights, stories, and lessons into content for schools.

This offers an incredible opportunity to inspire young minds and bring meaningful stories, wisdom, and practical knowledge into classrooms around the world. Imagine your work not only reaching readers but becoming a valuable tool for learning and personal growth for students.

If you’re curious about creating content to inspire the next generation, we’d love to support you in making it happen.
