Day One Ridiculous Goal

Day One Ridiculous Goal (abbreviated DORG) is a yearly struggle to write a number of words above the daily goal on the first day (the first 24 hours, or 25 hours if Daylights Savings time occurs on the same day as it did in the US in 2015) of NaNoWriMo. Like the Reverse NaNo setup, the idea is to start the month with a buffer; if someone should get Week Two'd and fail to make a daily quota, they do not fall immediately behind. Some participants of #50kday have used DORG to give their challenge an additional motivation, but many other participants use it for smaller goals of 2k, 5k, 10k, and so on. A thread is made in the Word Wars forum every year to announce goals and for accountability.
It was started in 2011 by Alabama::Elsewhere ML cosmam. There have been six DORGs: <--! but the names of most of them are lost to time, at least until someone else remembers them.-->
* DORG I - ???
* DORG II - Electric Boogaloo
* DORG III - ???
* DORG IV - ???
* DORG V - DORGs of the Calla
* DORG VI - The DORG Awakens

==History ==
Debs & Errol first met through NaNoWriMo in 2007 and have been huge supporters of the organization ever since.
The band started when a mutual friend asked them separately to be musical acts in a geeky theatre showcase for Monkeyman Productions. They decided to pair up and were surprised people liked them. Since then, they have written many songs that are funny and emphasize geeky topics, and have performed at a variety of venues.
In 2012, Debs & Errol did a Project for Awesome video for NaNoWriMo, helping them win first place.“Project 4 Awesome”, December 17, 2012“NaNoWriMo Facebook”, December 17, 2012“P4A 2012 Indiegogo Campaign”, December, 2012

Discord

:Not to be confused with Discourse, the software that runs the NaNoWriMo forums.
Discord is a chat program and app that supports text chat, voice chat, and screen sharing. It is available as a standalone program for Mac and Windows, as well as an iOS and Android app. It can also be used in the browser. While Discord was originally popular among gamers, it has gained popularity in the NaNoWriMo community.
With its roots in IRC, Discord supports continuous text chat and uses IRC's server-channel metaphor, even though this isn't technically accurate. Anyone can create a Discord server, and a Discord server can contain multiple channels. However, the administrators of a Discord server control the visibility and access of the server.
While there is no official NaNoWriMo Discord server, there are multiple unofficial Discord servers, including a Discord for the overachiever community. Some NaNoWriMo regions also use Discord for their regional chat.
In April 2021, the Discord and Off-Site Groups forum was created for Wrimos to post their Discord groups. These posts previously lived in a single thread in the Social Media forum.
==Roles==
Discord supports roles and role tagging. Administrators can create roles in the Discord server settings and can also add other users as administrators.
While using roles is optional, they can help add color to a Wrimo's name so not everyone is the same color, going back to the IRC and AIM chat room days. Common roles include ML, admin, Winner, Camper (for Wrimos doing Camp NaNoWriMo), and pronouns. You can click or tap a user's name to view all their roles.
==Channels==
Multiple channels can help keep the server organized while not burying time-insensitive information. Like IRC channels, channels begin with a # (pound or hashtag). Wrimos can mute channels they're not interested in; however, too many channels can create clutter, overwhelm Wrimos new to Discord, and make Wrimos worry about whether they're posting to the right place or missing conversations.
Common channels for regional Discord servers include:
* Server Rules & Info
* Announcements
* Requesting a role. A bot such as Dyno can handle the role requests.
* General NaNo-related or writing-related chat
* Word sprints
* Write-ins, either for organizing in-person write-ins or hosting online events
* Off-topic chat
Other topics include a channel for Wrimos with chronic illnesses or disabilities, specific interests (e.g. gaming, books, memes), stages of the writing process (prepping, editing, publishing), or self-promotion. Beyond the basics, channels are up to the server administrator's imagination.
==Bots==
Discord supports adding bots to a server. Bots can perform roles such as time word sprints or add roles to a user.
Bots for running sprints include Sprinto, Talos, and Winnie.

Discord and Off-Site Groups

Discord and Off-Site Groups is a NaNoWriMo forum for posting off-site groups open to new members. These groups may be hosted on Discord or any other chat application.
The forum was created in April 2021 through Wrimo requests, as Discord groups in particular were previously restricted to a single thread in the Social Media forum, which became difficult to navigate.
Note that writing groups hosted on the NaNoWriMo website should be posted to the Writing Groups, Assemble! forum. 
==Forum Description==
"You asked, we heard. Rather than restrict all discords and other off-site community groups to a single thread, you may use this forum for individual threads for each community! All posts will close after 1 month of inactivity." (April 2020-present)
==Topics and Threads==
A thread for each off-site writing group

Diversions & Procrastination

The Diversions & Procrastination forum (formerly Games, Diversions, and Other Exciting Forms of Procrastination until September 2019, and How to Procrastinate Effectively before that) is a NaNoWriMo forum for diversions of the non-productive sort. Usually abbreviated "Games" due to its former title, it is a spinoff forum from Off Topic. First named "How to Procrastinate Effectively", this forum gained the Games name because the games posted here were posted to both this forum and Off Topic in the early years of the NaNoWriMo forums. Games is one of the busiest forums in the off season and typically has a higher post count than any other forum. 
In 2008, the Games forum was singlehandedly responsible for crashing the entire website when some of the longer threads reached a point where the indexing crashed the database. Because of this crash, the policy of locking posts of over 500 comments was instituted. The switch to Ruby on Rails in 2011 made this policy no longer necessary due to better stability. Since the move to Discourse in 2019, threads auto-close after 10,000 posts. Wrimos may start a new thread for the same game after the old one is auto-closed.
The Games forum once lived in the Outside the Box container category and also held the role playing games until the Roleplaying forum was born in 2007. Today Diversions and Procrastination is a top-level forum containing three subforums: Roleplaying, Polling Booth, and Sidekick Stable.
The Games forum has built a close-knit community over the years, with some threads devoted simply to conversation and chit-chat sneaking into threads. That said, it's easy for new Wrimos to jump in because of the game nature of the forum.
==Forum Description== 
"I Am Ridiculously Far Behind on My Word Count but The Simpsons are On and I've Only Seen this Episode Twice, OR: Tips on taking relaxing mental vacations from your work-in-progress" (?-2003-?)
"If there's one thing more fun than working on your novel in November, it's not working on your novel in November. Come here for a relaxing mental vacation full of bumping, egregiously erroneous information, movie-title tag, word-association, and much, much more." (?-2012-present)

Editing

Editing, the fourth step in the writing process, is the act of correcting and improving your draft. Usually, editing covers small typos and sentence structure problems as well as paragraph form and other grammatical issues. It is not be confused with revising (the third step in the writing process) which involves plot changes, character strengthening and usually redrafting. NaNoWriMo's Now What? Months offer resources after the new year for Wrimos seeking to edit and revise their novels.
==What to edit==
Editing includes correcting, improving, or modifying:
* Descriptions
* Point of View
* Voice
* Tense
* Punctuation
* Capitalization
* Manuscript form
* Paragraph form
* Dialogue/dialogue tags
* Misspellings
* Word use
* Sentence structure
* Clarity
* Unity
* Making nouns more concrete and verbs more vivid
==When to edit==
Editing usually comes right after revising. 
==How to edit==
Most resources suggest that the writer should first check each scene for usefulness, potency, and to see if it starts and ends in the right place; then check each paragraph for unity, coherence and emphasis; then each sentence for effectiveness, structure, and clearness; then each word for effectiveness and vividness.
Good NaNoWriMo forums to refer to are Novel Draft Aftercare and Writing 101.
==Tips for Editing==
* Print the manuscript out. It's easier to spot typos on paper than it is on screen.
* Read the manuscript out loud. If you get tongue tied on a sentence, change it.
* Use a red pen to mark your mistakes. Red shows up best on paper.
* Don't expect to get every single typo on the first read-through. There are countless published books that have gone through the author, critique partners, agent, editor, publisher, and advanced copy receivers that still have one or two typos in it. If you want your book to be grammatically perfect, I'm afraid you'll be working yourself for far too long.

Everyday Inspiration

Everyday Inspiration is a 2015 NaNoWriMo fundraiser with the goal of fostering even more year-round NaNoWriMo inspiration. It took place from July 7 to 17, 2015.
On July 16, NaNoWriMo took to Twitter with its #NaNoInspired campaign. Wrimos were encouraged to share what (or who) inspired them. 
The campaign raised $14,500 total toward NaNoWriMo's programs.
==Donor Goodies==
Like summer fundraising drives of the past, the Everyday Inspiration drive thanked donors with goodies unique to the drive. This drive also offered the first ever Wrimo Inspiration Pack: a small notebook with the NaNo logo and "Inspiration" on the cover, a NaNoWriMo pen, a button with the NaNoWriMo logo and "Inspired" on it, and a pep talk from a past NaNo pep talker: Neil Gaiman, Lemony Snicket, Mitali Perkins, Marissa Meyer, and John Green.
The basic $50 inspiration pack included these items and one pep talk, while $100 donors received the pack and all five pep talks. 
Larger donations came with additional goodies:
*$250 = An inspiring YWP pencil set, personally hand-sharpened by a NaNoWriMo staff member.
*$500 = A personalized video pep talk from the NaNoWriMo staff, to be delivered whenever you need inspiration this fall.
*$1,000 = Inspiring (and helpful!) feedback on one chapter of your manuscript by a NaNoWriMo staff member.
*$5,000 = A write-in, cocktail party, or [insert your creative gathering of choice here] anywhere in the United States, personally attended (and sparkingly hosted) by Executive Director Grant Faulkner.
These goodies shipped two to three weeks after the campaign ended.
