    That’s it. the world needs a different name for writing a novel in november without all the trademarks and baggage of NaNoWriMo.

    I propose “November”. It is a portmanteau of “Novel” and “November”.

      Also the people who were really into NaNoWriMo were usually people I did not like being around because that’s all they talked about. Just go write and shut up

      November

      Not clunky enough.

      My understanding is that this whole thing is an exercise in done > perfect. I think this should extend to the conditions in which you write as well, i.e. you shouldn’t have to wait until November to do this exercise. I propose a new phrase: “Nah, there’s No special Writing Moment”, or NaNoWriMo for short
