      Yeah like what support would they give me if I decided to write a novel in November(also one month doesn’t seem like long enough to polish off a full novel lol), or are they just promoting the general concept?

      edit: seems like they did run a few useful programs(like loaning laptops but they hadn’t done that since 2009) but not in over a decade it seems, it looks to be mainly a website and forum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Novel_Writing_Month they must have been paying employees salaries, cause you wouldn’t need that many donations would cover hosting for a good while

        (also one month doesn’t seem like long enough to polish off a full novel lol)

        The concept is basically just trying to hit 50K words in a month as an exercise. Like not worrying about editing or quality, just getting something down everyday. I actually think it’s pretty useful, even though I’ve only done it once.

        I really don’t know how or why the silly writing challenge was an organization with employees, though.
