Can you NaNoWriMo?

I didn't realize until looking through Lifehacker that NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow.

What is "NaNoWriMo"? It stands for "National Novel Writing Month" and the intent is to write a 175-page (50,000 word) novel in a month. Specifically, the month of November.

It doesn't matter if the novel is complete garbage...the intent of the exercise is to produce quantity instead of quality. To get something...anything...on the page.

I plan to do this. I haven't decided if I am going to "officially" join at the website, but I am at least going to do it on my own.

I think everyone should try something like this at least once in their lives. This is going to be my turn.
