[[File:nanowrimo2.gif|frame|Thirty days and nights of literary abandon!]]
[[Mission Briefing|It's the month of November. You have 30 days to write a 50,000 word novel. Get to it!]]
The idea behind '''National Novel Writing Month''' is that many of us have at least one book inside of us, but we're too lazy to spend the time to write it, or simply get overcome by the scope of it all -- so it ultimately never materializes. Nanowrimo challenges that, by encouraging participants to throw caution to the wind and [[Writing by the Seat of Your Pants|write without revising]], without obsessing over what they're writing, but to just get the words ''out''. (There'll be plenty of time to edit it after the month is up.)
"[[No Plot, No Problem]]" is their slogan.

The Nano website has a list of [https://web.archive.org/web/20130121222052/http://www.nanowrimo.org/publishedwrimos/ published National Novel Writing Month Novels].
Even though it is called "National" Novel Writing Month, entries are accepted from countries other than the U.S.A and in languages other than English.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: When pressed for wordcounts, some authors insert their personal thoughts into the story, directly addressing the audience or characters as a writer. It quickly becomes [[Hilarious in Hindsight]].
* [[Chandler's Law]]: "If all else fails, have a [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja|band of ninjas]] attack somebody" is ''official'' advice for writers at a loss for material to further their novel's word count.
Line 29 ⟶ 28:

* [[In
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: Make a band of ninjas attack somebody during a novel; you should at least be able to get a few hundreds words out of characters [[Lampshade Hanging|wondering "seriously? Ninjas?"]]

* [[Dumb Blonde]] - Bea and Carol.
{{quote|
'''Carol:''' Not in a month.
'''Bea:''' [[Comically Missing the Point|Not while I'm single.]] }}
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Victoria says this about her fellow ML Andrew, and even her ''real'' boyfriend Dave makes fun her for it.
* [[Humanity Is Insane]] - At least the part that is devoted to [[NaNoWriMo]] (which is all of the cast except Dave).
