the site to register is NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org) (it's ridiculously slow right now with the glut of front end excitement ~ it will get less cloggy in a few days). at the end of the month you submit a file to the word counter, but it can be a file of gibberish (everything is on the honor system). i usually submit a file of gibberish just to not have my actual work be submitted (not that they save any of this stuff). anyway, not sure i'm explaining any of this very well ~ maybe when the site is running well, you can browse the faqs and get a better idea of it all.

i started NaNo back when it was just a wee organization and not all this insanity. i keep saying i will quit, but every year i am writing anyway, so it seems silly not to do it. or something.
