There's also something called WriYe (Writing Year) which spans.. well, the entire year. You can set a word count goal for yourself and any fictional/original content counts towards that, I think.
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.
You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

I never plan much, because I'll feel like I'm writing too much of the story ahead of time. I like the spontaneity of things coming out of no where but I know that comes with it's own problems. I usually have an idea picked out by this time (although I think I've changed it at the last minute before) but I don't have anything solid right now.

One year my plan was chapter names which were all character names and in my head I knew what would happen in each chapter and i could reference that and be like "oh yeah this happens here." ive also tried no plan and a more detailed plan.
I think it comes down to how you personally work. I typically don't plan much on paper but i always plan in my head. With no plan it is harder to control where it goes, but that's not a guarantee and with a plan in general i think it makes it easier but again not a guarentee.

Wait you're allowed to do this outside of November?
Yep. You're allowed to work on as many projects as you want, and they also put up some fun writing challenges every now and then. A lot of the WriYe-ers participate in nano as well. I don't know how large the community is at this point, it's probably a lot smaller than the nanowrimo community just because they don't get much publicity.

I deserve it for cheating.
One novel's more editing than writing, the other's a proper rewrite where I'm rewriting every word but is still me taking from a previous work rather than a brand new one.
Are those like "lol lets write something" novels or serious stuff you want to publish

I hadn't really planned to at all, but tomorrow's my day off and I haven't got nearly as much writing done this year as I'd hoped, so it looks like I'm committing to this at the last second! Midnight's come and gone and I've got my first thousand words down. It's absolutely not a story that I have planned at all, nor anything remotely serious, but the act of writing itself has been sorely lacking in my life of late, so I'm just going to do whatever bullshit entertains me and it can be as shit as it likes. Good luck, everyone!
