Still pondering - starting a new life in October, have other things to write, but am immensely interested in the deadline aspect of it all.

Participation chance 75% unless I find something that forbids me writing (as a German in German)

Yeah, I feel like I already do this every other month.

April: "Ok, this time I'm really going to buckle down and write!"
May: writing time peters off...
June: "Alright, I'm definitely setting aside 2 hours every night after the kids go to bed!"
July: real life gets in the way...
August: "Hey, this thing won't write itself. I've got to get crackin'!"
September: pick up a new hobby as a subconscious way to procrastinate...
October: "Here I go, nothing is stopping me this time!"

Best I've done is 6,100 words in one week. 50k words in a month is twice that rate... I'd probably lose my job, wreck my marriage, miss my kids, plus have no time for my gaming habit! ;-)

I definately don't need a month to tell me to write stuff. Hell, sometimes, I need to take some time off....

I wrote 1600 words today.

I haven't clicked on the link.

I have no intention of doing so.

Using only information contained in the original post, can somebody explain to me how this isn't spam?

National Novel Writing Month - looks completely donation-driven and non-prize, it's apparenlty just trying to encourage people to get off their butts and write a novel, if they never have and always wanted to.

Looks neat, but I've got other things to write besides novels - tech reports for work, program requests, D&D adventures...

I edited the title to be clearer it isn't spam...

You know, I very nearly put that in the title myself. Guess I should have.

Hindsight and all that...

And yes, I'm certain you can write it in German Berandor. There are participants from all around the world, and I don't recall any restrictions about what languages you can write in.
