NaNoWriMo
I've participated in NaNoWriMo since 2010. It's a great deal of fun, but it's also a lot of work and stess, especially if you don't start quite on time. This is where any helpful things I find concerning NaNo will go.
Unless otherwise noted, none of these resources are original to me, nor to I claim ownership.
