Anoth­er SAKE ref­er­ence point — Nation­al Nov­el Writ­ing Month is an annu­al writ­ing chal­lenge. It isn’t about the qual­i­ty of the writ­ing, it’s sim­ply about get­ting to 50.000 words in 30 days. I guess a large part of the fun comes from the knowl­edge that many oth­ers are doing the same thing as you are.
