Need To Write A Novel? NaNoWriMo Is Here For You, Right Now!
Let this be your starting point.
Not only are you officially allowed to stop shaving today (if you’re a man, of course), but today marks the first day of the National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short.

Their model wasn’t anything new, companies out of Korea and Japan had perfected the model years before, but Zynga was a star because they were the first American company to ‘get it’ and apply their lessons to up-and-coming startup Facebook.
