That's it. the world needs a different name for writing a novel in november without all the trademarks and baggage of NaNoWriMo.
I propose "November". It is a portmanteau of "Novel" and "November".
Not clunky enough.
My understanding is that this whole thing is an exercise in done > perfect. I think this should extend to the conditions in which you write as well, i.e. you shouldn’t have to wait until November to do this exercise. I propose a new phrase: “Nah, there’s No special Writing Moment”, or NaNoWriMo for short
Also the people who were really into NaNoWriMo were usually people I did not like being around because that's all they talked about. Just go write and shut up
