National Novel Writing Month
I'm planning on NaNoing as well this year, I failed last year, but it was my first attempt. Been practicing setting aside time, I should do a lot better this time around.
Good luck, PM if you need support or anything in November.

If you plan on doing this, I recommend getting Chris Baty's book, No Plot? No Problem. I bought it last week and it's very helpful. It has good tips and suggestions (don't plan too far in advance!), with advice from people who have completed their 50,000 words and won in the past.
The book is in three parts. Part one covers the history of NaNoWriMo and how to get started. The second part is in several chapters. Baty warns that they will be most beneficial if you read one a week as you write. They cover things like writer's block, getting stuck, and motivation. The final part of the book covers publishing and what to do AFTER you write you 50,000 words.
He's very funny and has some really helpful things to share and directs you around pitfalls to avoid. I'm glad I got it.
Good luck to you!

Reminder to budding authors: November is National Novel Writing Month!
It was a reminder like this that got me writing last year (for the first time), and a friend is writing his novel based out of Paragon City. It's hectic as hell, but very rewarding
