Do it for the craft, not for the winning. Nobody's going to remember whether or not you won NaNoWriMo in 2009, but if it teaches you craft and dedication and brings you into a community of people who love what you love, you've added permanently to the meaning of your own life. Victoria Benjamin—Good for you! Do it for the craft, not for the winning.

I hear more and more from people who love NaNoWriMo for the sheer comraderie of it---writing can be a lonely, scary business, especially when you're starting out, and there's nothing like packing everyone into one little boat together and telling them to row for the lives to bring out the human bond between us all!

It's a community---and, as we're all learning about the Internet these days, what's out there means nothing if it's not about community. Two months from today: Monthly Mania Monday, second week in December. Let's check back in with NaNoWriMo, and you guys who did it can tell the rest of us how it went!

I'm not doing NaNo, either, though. Lots of reasons why, but mainly because I'm too busy with the book I'm on and don't need to start another. And I think November will be my reading month. :) Awesome links! I’m not doing NaNo, either, though.
