Outline

An outline is a plan of events to happen in a work. Unlike a novel idea which dictates the very basics of the plot, the outline tries to partially or fully dictate the events within the plot while falling short of a word-for-word dictation of the novel itself. While the outlines of planners may be very detailed and must be followed, pantsers may opt for an unfixed (doesn't have to be followed), often general outline or none at all.
==Outlining techniques==
There are as many outlining techniques as there are novelists. A writer who comes up with a plot first will probably outline differently than someone who imagines a character, then that character's story.
* Snowflake Method, which makes you start with a basic idea and guides you through the outlining
* Three-Act Story Structure, which splits the story into three acts (roughly beginning, middle, and end) and guides you through figuring those things out
* The Hero's Journey, which defines 12 specific steps of a character making a journey or a quest

Outside the Box (forum)

:Not to be confused with the former Outside the Box container category.
The Outside the Box (formerly Off Topic until September 2019) forum is devoted to any discussions that don't belong in any other NaNoWriMo forum. While there are many NaNoWriMo forums on the site, there are also many things for Wrimos to discuss, not all of them having to do with writing. In fact, some of the non-writing discussions are the most-remembered ones.
The Outside the Box forum is one of the original NaNoWriMo forums from 2002 (though it was named Off Topic at the time), though its scope has changed since its inception thanks to the founding of new forums. Games such as Word Association were posted to Off Topic as well as How to Procrastinate Effectively in the early forum days until the latter was renamed Games, Diversions, and Other Exciting Forms of Procrastination forum between 2004 and 2005. Off Topic also became a destination for general NaNoWriMo discussion until the founding of the All-Ages Coffee House in 2008.
Off Topic has bred popular threads such as The Disturbing Thing About Urinal Cakes, many of the original games now found in the procrastination forum, and dares (now found in Reaching 50,000). The Velociraptor thread founded in 2019 also lives here.
The Outside the Box forum is a top-level forum and contains five subforums: Gamers & Gaming, Fans & Critics, NaNo Rebels, Script Frenzy, and Classifieds.
Before you post a discussion to the Outside the Box forum, think to yourself: Is is about NaNo? If it is, it's not off topic and is better suited for one of the many other forums on the site.
Script Frenzy also had an Off Topic forum that is similar in nature. It was moderated by Dragonchilde.
== Forum Description == 
"The free-associative posting place for whatever's on your mind." (?-2003-?)
"Because it doesn't fit anywhere else." (?-2012-September 2019)
"Nothing is Off Topic anymore! If it doesn't fit anywhere else, then this is where it goes! If it's not writing related, then here's your home!" (September 2019-present)

Padding

Padding is the act of increasing one's word count or page count in ways that don't necessarily contribute to the plot, sometimes with the intention of editing that part out later. Because NaNoWriMo and Script Frenzy are about quantity over quality, padding is allowed and even encouraged when a writer is not on track to finish and win. Wrimos have padded their novels as long as NaNoWriMo has existed and have gotten more creative in their padding techniques over the years.
==Known padding techniques==
* Giving a character a name containing more than one word (e.g. Mr. Ian Woon instead of Ian)
* Very long chapter titles
* Scenes that have little to no effect on the plot (dream sequences, flashbacks and smut scenes being the most popular)
* Introducing a character who stutters/is deaf/speaks a foreign language
* Singing entire songs
* Quoting other works, such as books, movies, other documents on the writer's computer, websites, or Wikipedia Articles. 
* Expanding Scenes with unneeded dialogue, explanations, etc.
* Avoiding contractions
* Writing out numbers
* Breaking the fourth wall and including long Author Notes
* Spacing out ellipses (... becomes . . .)
* Spacing out words (v e r y,or, v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v e e e e e e e e e e e r r r r r r r r r r r r r r y y y y y y y y y y y y)

Pantsing

Pantsing (also known as winging it) is the term Wrimos use refer to writing without a fixed outline (an outline that the writer will force themselves to follow). A Wrimo who adopts the pantsing approach to writing is called a pantser. 
While Pantsers are united in not doing a fixed outline, they have varying opinions on whether a lesser degree of planning is good. Because of this, pantsers vary greatly in extremity. The Extremist Pantser does absolutely no planning at all, they do not even come up with a vague idea before November 1. Others come up with an idea before November 1, but lack an outline of any sort. Others come up with an outline and/or synopsis before November 1, but the outline/synopsis is not fixed. Still others do little or no pre-November planning, but find time to write a flexible outline during November.
 Planners are the opposite of Pantsers.
Pantsers, especially extremist pantsers, are prone to dares, adoptables, and other NaNoWriMo tributes such as Mr. Ian Woon. Typically, it is harder for a pantser to win than it is for a planner to win, and a pantser's week two is often worse than a planner's week two.

Participant Survey

A Participant Survey is a set of questions that seeks comments on the experience and feedback for future events.
NaNoWriMo uses participant surveys at the end of each event. The NaNoWriMo staff then use the feedback and concerns from the survey to improve next year's event. The survey usually goes out to participants within two weeks of the event's end.
NaNoWriMo sent out its first participant survey in December 2008, and it has become a tradition ever since. In addition, there are occasional other surveys from time to time, like the 2012 survey on how the critiques board should be organized.
Participants who take the participant survey are often entered to win fun prizes like gift certificates to the NaNoWriMo Store.
There is also a separate Municipal Liaison survey sent by HQ that lets regional Municipal Liaisons give feedback on the MLing experience.
While optional, some MLs send out similar participant surveys to Wrimos to collect feedback about the region's events and forum to use in the following year.

Pep Talks for Writers

Pep Talks for Writers: 52 Insights and Actions to Boost Your Creative Mojo is a book of pep talks by NaNoWriMo executive director Grant Faulkner. It was published in October 2017 by Chronicle Books.
Most of the pep talks are 3-5 pages long and cover topics such as starting a new project, crushing creative doubts, getting feedback, and maintaining momentum. The pep talks are not organized in any particular order, but an appendix organizes the pep talks by topic for ease of searching.
Each pep talk includes something to try, such as a writing challenge or something to think about for your next writing session.

Pillow Fort

The Pillow Fort is a NaNoWriMo forum for anyone with a disability or mental or physical challenge (sometimes known as neurodivergents or spoonies). It was created in September 2019 and lives within the Finding Your Crew forum.
Before this forum was created, Wrimos posted in several places: individual threads in the Writing Groups and Clubs or their age group forum, in the Mental Health Happy Hour thread (over in NaNoWriMo Ate My Soul), and even in the Coffeehouse. Mental Health Happy Hour in particular was a very active thread that could become hard to navigate during November.
In August 2019, when the then-new NaNoWriMo site was still in the preview stage, Heather Dudley posted a thread requesting names for this forumhttps://forums.nanowrimo.org/t/name-for-a-neurodivergent-spoonies-etc-lounge/1924. Moderator Elyndra suggested Pillow Fort, originally not intending it to be a serious suggestion. It received the most votes in the poll.
The Pillow Fort forum became an affinity group in mid-2020, and members must request to join.
This forum is not for Wrimos to ask writing research questions about specific disabilities and challenges. Those questions belong in Reference Desk or Personal Experience.

Pissed Off Cynic

A Pissed Off Cynic in Nanowrimo is an irreverent Wrimo who motivates like-minded Wrimos in the Pissed off Cynics thread in the Writing Groups and Clubs forum.
== Pissed off Cynics ==
User MattHawthorneIsAMyth started the Pissed Off Cynics thread before the start of 2011 NaNo, setting the tone for the group. He claimed to be "sick of the hyperactive kid vibe" in the forums and was looking for a group of adults with an irreverent sense of humor who were serious about writing.
The thread attracted many similar Wrimos, who defined writing as having something to say rather than time to type. The Cynics deplored the way Nanowrimo's emphasis on wordcount "turned a learning experience into an OCD joyride," and often ridiculed the Overachievers engaged in the then-popular aim to hit a million words in one month's writing. The Pissed Off Cynics thread was the Algonquin Round Table of the Nano boards, featuring savage wit and merciless criticism.
==Trouble with the Cynics==
The Pissed Off Cynics drew the ire of many Wrimos because of their forthright, antisocial attitides. Many humorless Wrimos felt compelled to post on the thread to lecture and harangue the Cynics. The POCs would most often reply using the benediction of über-Cynic zenken, who dispatched a bothersome foe by saying, May you die alone and in great pain.
The first Pissed Off Cynics thread was closed when the moderators became aware of personal insults being posted in the thread. A new thread was posted shortly before the close of Nano 2011 and was allowed to run through the post-Nano period. A similar thread existed during Nano 2012 and survived until the 2013 wipe without incident.
Pitchapalooza

Pitchapalooza is an event that lets writers pitch a novel to a panel of judges. It was created by the Book Doctors. A Pitchapalooza for Wrimos has run annually since 2011.
==NaNoWriMo's Pitchapalooza==
The NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza typically takes place during February, with winners announced in late February or early March. Wrimos wishing to enter email a pitch of their novel not exceeding 200 words to the Book Doctors by the deadline specified, usually mid to late February. Twenty-five randomly selected pitches are selected for critique on the Book Doctors' website, where fans may vote for a fan favorite. A winner is announced a few weeks later.
The winner (as selected by the Book Doctors) wins an introduction to an agent or publisher who is a good fit for their book. The fan favorite wins a free one-hour consultation with the Book Doctors. As well, anyone who buys The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published by the Book Doctors during this period and sends the receipt over receives a free 20-minute consultation.
==Past NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza Winners==
* 2011 - Cari Noga (Book Doctors) and David and Ben Ash (fan favorite) 
* 2012 - Mark & Sheri Durson (Book Doctors) and Fernando Quijano III (fan favorite) 
* 2013 - Stacy McAnulty (Book Doctors) and Katie Neipris 
* 2014 - Kitty Kilby (Book Doctors) and Meagan Sprapec and Izzy Verdery (fan favorites) 
* 2015 - Gloria Chao (Book Doctors) and Ian Cahill (fan favorite) 
Published Wrimo and Writers Board member Gennifer Albin has also won a non-NaNo Pitchapalooza.

Planning

Planning is the opposite approach to a novel from pantsing. Planners will start with an outline in mind before November starts. This outline will be followed, but can be as loose or as tight as the novelist wants it to be. 
A loose outline dictates the story while still allowing some flexibility. A list of events with little detail (and the option to add in more events) is a good example of this.
A tight outline dictates the story with absolutely no flexibility, it dictates every event that happens with great detail, and gets very close to a word-for-word dictation of what the novel will contain. 
Sarah Mackey is a planner on the staff of NaNoWriMo. http://blog.lettersandlight.org/post/1308206994/the-great-debate-are-you-a-planner-or-a-pantser

Plantser

A plantser is an author who combines planning and pantsing methods to prepare for their novel. Usually, people who claim to be this type of author enjoy how pantsing allows their creativity to strive more, however they plan some of it out so that it doesn't wander off into plotless ramblings that require intense revisions and rewrites when the draft is done.
Initially the third option was proposed as "percolator" in a blog post from 2012 where the process is described as "let[ting] the drips of a story filter through my mind over a long period of time, letting it steam and swirl about without determining it." Plantsing is not as structured as plotting and can involve numerous aspects of worldbuilding, plotting, and character development without necessarily fully developing any one area.
Plot Machine

The plot machine is a feature of the Script Frenzy website. It is located at the upper left hand side (formerly upper right) of the site. The machine includes three parts: an inciting incident, a character, and a plot, and it comes preloaded with an automatically generated story when the main page loads. If the user doesn't like the plot presented upon loading the page, they may click the "Go" button for a different story, which reloads the machine without reloading the entire page. The plot machine has been a figurehead of the Script Frenzy homepage since the beginning of the event to help answer the question, "What will people write about?"
The plot machine also exists on the Script Frenzy Young Writers Program homepage, but at the lower right side. The story elements are more youth-friendly in that plot machine.
A Share on Facebook button below both plot machines allows users to share the humor of the resulting plot.
SEPTEMBER 2014 BIG NEWS
After a long and protracted Twitter discussion, theanab and sushimustwrite came up with a solution to no longer being able to access the plot machine (unless you went through the WaybackMachine.)
The link below takes you to a Google doc that contains all of the different possible outcomes from the plot machine. Every time you load the page, the three boxes at the top will show you your new plot. The YWP plot machine, as well as the dares machine from the current YWP site are also there, in the tabs at the bottom!
Enjoy, and let me know if you have any questions. --Theanab (talk) 22:12, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
