what thirty days leaves behind
The month ends and the manuscript does not
- Fifty thousand words is not a bookThirty days of sprinting gets you a heap of draft and a December with no structure to put it in.
- The scaffolding went awayThe counter, the badges, the regional chatter. What made November work was other people counting at the same time, and that part closed with the organisation.
- Sprint pace was never the habitTwo thousand words a day in November tells you what you can do under an event. It tells you nothing about an ordinary Tuesday in March.
A hundred days from the first of November
The month you already know how to do, at a pace you could still keep in February.

Deep in the part the thirty-day format never covered: the draft after the rush, on days with no event attached to them.
Counted from 1 November, day 100 falls on 8 February. A hundred logs, and a winter with a shape.

what changed in the niche
The November audience lost its organiser
- —
- NaNoWriMo, Inc. closed on 31 March 2025 after financial and reputational trouble, leaving the November event without a central organiser. source

- ProWritingAid now runs Novel November, a free 50,000-word November with daily co-writing sessions — one of several successors that appeared afterwards. source

Reasonable questions
Are you NaNoWriMo?
No, and we are not its replacement or a continuation of it. We run a hundred-day accountability programme that happens to suit a November start.
Is there a word count target?
None that we set. You write your own three tasks, and they can be word counts if that is how you work.
Can I start in November and count into February?
That is the arithmetic: a hundred days from 1 November ends on 8 February.
Are there forums, badges and regional groups?
No. What exists is the daily report and the people reading it.
What does it cost?
The price is set when a group opens. This page takes no payment.
November, and the ninety days after it
Leave an email and we send the start date. No payment is taken here.
- Three tasks in the morning, one report at night
- A hundred days, so the draft outlives the month
- A group that starts on the date you do
One email with the date. Nothing else.
