Over the month of November, you are invited to write a 50,000 word novel.

Rules:
1. No stories formally started, written, or 2nd drafts may be used.
2. Although you are allowed to outline and design the plot up until November 1st, Do not write until that day.
3. Optional Sign up at NaNoWriMo.org for final word count, as well as a supportive community. Also, there's regional (or citywide, depending on how big your closest city is. I have been both to North Chicago Suburbs meeting and Denver's) 'write ins' where you go and write or hang out with other NaNoWriMos.
4. No one said the story had to be good. The reality is that, there will be plot holes, and there's always time for a revision.


So...someone join me?

I really want to, but all my plot ideas are pretty vague at this point and I wouldn't know what to write. I think I have a few ideas, though, and if I really spend some time on it I can reach 50k words.

Basically, this is an aspiration but not a goal for me.

What if you want it to exceed 50,000 word?
I'll still join :O I will not however, be in your club of region.

Although, do they have a rule on word usage against profanity, violent words, and unapplicable content toward youngsters?

They don't give a crap what you're writing, long as you make the word count :P

Going to make up for last year's unfortunate mistake this time.
Seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner.

Unless it doesn't, in which case never mind.

So you were maybe wondering why I'm not in hot pursuit of the SGO right now? This is the reason. OGame is not something I'm going to be able to keep up competitively during November.

I do all the different things like CN, LW, OGame, and this. Oh, and I heard GPA and GGA are threatening each other. I am in GPA, you're in GGA right? Not really concerned for me though. Although, seems the alert has been averted.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would be stupid enough to threaten GPA, especially since we only just came out of our war with GOONS.

Well, I am a writing major... in that time, I could definitely turn in a collection of short stories, but I don't really have the time to write an extra 100 page novella.

Novels are really easy. I am full on time too. I am only planning to do this at my leisure, although I cannot guerrenty I would get this done.

Maybe if you had not just written off their website as a 'club' you wouldn't have to ask these questions. :|

It sounds like the sort of thing that would be lots of fun, but there is no way I could commit that kind of time.

A friend of mine is going to try to manage a whole novel, though.
"Three can keep a secret, if two are dead." -Benjamin Franklin

"Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;
A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe;
Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream.
All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell."
-William Shakespeare

My girlfriend told me about this in the middle of October, and she's trying to get me to do it. I would, but I can't get my book out by the end of November, ya know?

Although I will say this: I've had this idea for awhile now, and there will be nuclear weapons. ;)
