(Sorry. Couldn’t find a category. Slide it around if you know of one.)
I recall calendar dates in years past for meetings, high fives, etc. Anything planned for 2018? It’s crossed my mind to give it a try.

The idea intrigues. Curiously, one thing I can’t find on their website is any mention of copyright ownership. I doubt anyone is going to write anything particularly saleable on the platform, but if one is developing trunk novels it would be disappointing to the extreme to not own said output.
I’ve done and completed NANOWRIMO about 8 times, completed 3.
Re: Copyright. You own. All you do is submit the document to a word counter on their site, if you have the required number of words it release the certificate. Some where in their site they tell you if worried about copyright, you can do a series of global find-replace letters or words so it is scrambled - it will be a nonsense document with the same number of words. You could type: “I cheat.” and repeat 25,000 times to get the word count.
For Americans, who are the majority of the writers, there is a cruel twist to NaNoWriMo. You need to do about 1,700 words a day to stay even. But you get behind … then Turkey Day Weekend hits. You have the Day of Gluttony followed by Black Friday, by Football weekend while feasting on tryptophan laden leftovers leaving you woozy… then you are 3-4 days behind … with usually less than a week to catch 3 or 4 days.
Find by (one way):
click on link in original post
scroll to the bottom
click on FAQ
scroll down to “The Basics”
click on “How can I be sure my novel is protected”.
voilà
That’s what I get looking on my phone for a big heading with “copyright” and the equivalent of Ctrl+F is a nuisance.
