NaNoWriMo

November is National Novel Writing Month. There's a web site run by The Office of Letters and Light (whoever they are) where you can sign up and join writers from all over the world in trying to reach a writing goal of 50,000 words in the month of November. The website helps you keep track of the number of words you're writing, shows you how many words others have written and provides all kinds of forums so you can hang out with other writers.

This is my first year. Already I'm hooked into a forum of other writers from Nebraska discussing getting together before the big 11/1 kick off. And I've got several writers from my RWA Chapter - Heartland Writers Group - on my buddy list.

There's nothing quite like the energy generated by a bunch of writers gathered in one place.
