OK guys...
For anyone who is new to the community... PLEASE, like any group that you join, you have to read the rules as so you know how to interact in the community.
There are rules in this group too. And they are clearly stated on the profile page, which everyone would have to be on to join the community for posting access.
In this profile, you have the following information:
TO ALL NEW MEMBERS: Please read the rules of the community before posting (located on the sidebar of the journal). It'll make things easier on you, trust me.
This community was created to gather people interested in participating in National Novel Writing Month, to share ideas, show off writing (or maybe just the good bits), encourage each other, and in general help each other limp across the finish line at the end of November.
What is National Novel Writing Month, you ask? For the best, most complete answer, please visit the NaNoWriMo home page, where you will find complete FAQs, some more-or-less helpful tips, and other fun stuff. To sum it up in a nutshell: the goal of participating in NaNoWriMo is to write a 200-page (50,000-word) novel in 30 days, during the month of November. Don't despair! There is absolutely no quality standard - it doesn't matter what you write, what matters is how much you write. As the web page says, "Make no mistake: You will be writing a lot of crap. And that's a good thing. Because by forcing yourself to write so intensely, you are giving yourself permission to make mistakes."
DO NOT POST ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE NANO WEBSITE TO THIS BOARD!
Important: Because this is a very active community, we ask that people respect each other's friends lists. To help with that, here are some useful links.

MORE TO COME AS WE GET CLOSER TO NOVEMBER!!!!
In November we start a whole new set of rules as we start to include the Daily Word Count posts and the Daily Excerpt posts. We're working on redoing the layout and such for November 1st as well, and ALL THE RULES and tag links will be listed in the sidebar.
PLEASE... please... not just for me and the mods, but all your fellow community members, take a look at these BEFORE you start posting in this community. I hate deleting posts because it's not fair to you, but if I leave it, then what is the purpose of having rules?
I know this community is strict in October and November, but this is how it's been run for years and it WORKS. Ok? So please help me be able to help you and make this an enjoyable experience for all.
Thank you.
