It’s a lot of fun to watch, but I really think it’d be stressful as hell to be on, and no fun.

Do it.

If you’ve ever been interested in doing NaNoWriMo, then you need to do it. There are endless good reasons for doing it, and no good reasons not to do it. No plot or outline ready? So what? I started a day late, with nothing but a title, and I made it. You can too, if you just try.
Next year, on November 30th, will you remember what you did for that month? Will it be the month that you wrote a novel, or at least gave it a good shot? Or will it be another forgettable fall month?
NaNoWriMo unlocks your creativity, and destroys that evil little bastard of an inner critic who stops you from doing anything. I’ve tried writing novels before, and never got past a few chapters before I stalled in an endless cycle of rewriting the same chapters over and over. NaNo forces you to get past that, and into the point where the story just flows out of you, and often in very strange directions.
