I use Grammarly’s English grammar check because I have to know how to properly use grammar before I can scrap it and write stuff however the hell I want.

You know NaNoWriMo is coming in less than two weeks, right? You know what NaNoWriMo is, right? Just in case you don’t: it stands for National Novel Writing Month, when a bunch of crazy people sign on to write their own 50,000 word novel over the month of November. Find out more about it here.

Recently I’ve been in touch with some nice people at Grammarly, a website that provides automated grammar checking technology to help you improve your writing. You paste in your text, and it finds those pesky grammar mistakes you tend to overlook, catches spelling errors, and corrects word choice and style mistakes. It can also find out if a piece of text has been plagiarized, and if it has, it will generate appropriate references for it. Cool stuff.

In honor of NaNoWriMo, Grammarly decided to organize the largest group of authors ever to collaborate on a novel. Each participating writer will be assigned a chapter in which to contribute up to 800 words of the novel. They’re calling the project #GrammoWriMo

I’ll  be finishing up Beyond the Mist in November, so I’m not doing NaNoWriMo this year. But I am doing #GrammoWriMo, and they want you, too! Are you a writer, a wannbe writer, or someone who just thinks this sounds like fun? Then go here to read up, sign up, and write on. Preferably with good grammar.
