What is Random Genre Month?
Random Genre Month is a fun, challenging writing competition in which you write a 50,000 word novel from one of three randomly chosen genres. This gives you the chance to try new things and experience new styles of writing that you would have never tried before.
Why should you try Random Genre Month? What's in it for you? Well, for one, the bragging writes that come along with having written a novel. Plus it may be a novel from a genre you've never written before. What if you find out you love writing that genre and you publish your book and eventually become a bestselling author? There are times when people come across RGM and are a little hesitant because they don't know the genres and they're afraid to try it. They don't want the challenge. That's the purpose of Random Genre Month, to push you past your comfort level of writing. Perhaps you'll thank us some day.
And finally, if (and when) you finish, you can look at your completed novel and think about how amazing you are for writing that. Then you have all the rights to reward yourself and then brag to your friends, because most of them probably have never written a novel in a month, let alone one of a strange genre.
