Have you ever wanted to write a novel? Have you wanted to write very quickly and get it over with quickly, allowing you to move on to the most important phase, the bragging phase? If so you'll be interested in NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. During this crazed writing frenzy thousands of writers from around the world all buckle down and try to write a fifty thousand word novel in thirty days or less.

You can read more about my take on this event here, in a column I wrote about it a couple of years ago. The event itself is free, as is the website and all the tools, but I do donate each year to defray the cost of expenses.
