National Novel Writing Month

Its that time of year again when NaNoWriMo takes over your life for one month only! I'm already started though I doubt I'll make the 50,000 word mark! I'll be very proud of myself if I hit the 15,000 word mark in the month.
I guess some of you are wondering what the hell I am on about. Basically, the challenge is to write a 50,000 word novel in the 30 days of November. There is at least one novel inside of each of us and now is the time to get it out! The idea is to get into Jack Kerouac mode and just keep typing until you're done. Just get it out and then you can faff around with it all you like when you've got the initial version out.
NaNoWriMo keeps track of your word count which you can update whenever you feel and as often as you feel. You can also have a sneak peak at other writers work and chat with loads of other writers doing exactly what you are doing. Its a great learning experience and you'll be surprised by what comes out at the end of the month.
