NaNoVideo

NaNoVideo was a video podcast that ran from 2009 to 2012 as a continuation of WrimoRadio. It began as a project to show the National Novel Writing Month community what life was like inside the Office of Letters and Light headquarters and to provide tips for the noveling experience.
Script Frenzy director Jennifer Arzt produced and directed the 2009 videos, while Eva Moss served as co-producer/camera/editor. The actors of the video usually also write the scripts.
The NaNoVideo theme music is "Bandoneon Acorazado" remixed by DJ Malente. Graham Dobson designed the NaNoVideo logo.
Toward the end of October and throughout November, the NaNo staff also included NaNo-related videos from participants when posting the NaNoVideo episodes on the website. Participants showed variety in their videos: they wrote songs, gave advice, told stories, and celebrated victory. During 2009 and 2010, donors at certain levels were also given a shoutout on certain videos.
NaNoVideo was retired after the 2012 season. The NaNoWriMo staff moved their video efforts to Youtube at that time and started taking advantage of Youtube's live streaming feature, which has been useful for virtual write-ins.
==Episodes==
See List of NaNoVideo episodes for a full list of episodes organized by date.
==NaNoVideo forum==
NaNoVideo had its own forum for discussing the videos. It was removed in 2014 due to being a popular spam target.

NaNoWriMo's In Your Pocket Summer Drive

NaNoWriMo's "In Your Pocket" Summer Drive was a June 2013 summer fundraiser. The goal of the drive was to raise $50,000 toward a long-requested mobile version of the NaNoWriMo website.
While Wrimos could donate any amount just as they can any time of year, a $50 donation earned the donor access to the Planning for Pantsers and Pantsing for Planners webinar featuring founder Chris Baty, a "Novelist at Work" door hanger. a NaNoWriMo-crest screen cleaner. and 30% off any purchase from the Chronicle Books online store.
To promote the drive, the OLL staff created a video and web badges for participants to share. As well, OLL championed the #my1ststory campaign on 20 June, where Wrimos shared their first story in order to show the creative fire NaNo can spark in children and adults. Wrimos shared their first story on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr, while OLL reblogged and retweeted these tales.
OLL also hosted a #nanoprep Twitter chat on 24 June as a preview for the webinar.
NaNoWriMo also gave donors a chance to win a Kindle Fire. As with all contests of these nature, Wrimos technically did not have to donate to this fundraiser to win.
The summer drive netted $15,000 toward a mobile-friendlier website, which launched in October 2013.
After the fundraiser, the webinar continued to accept registrations through 16 September for $75, while the door hanger and screen cleaner were available as additional donor goodies for monthly donors.

NaNoWriMo Ambassadors

NaNoWriMo Ambassadors are a group of Wrimos who work to promote NaNoWriMo. The program was formed in 2013. According to the Get Involved page on the NaNoWriMo website, "This squad of superstars spread the word about our events and organization all across the internet, act as a first line of response for HQ feedback, and are our go-tos for helping to publicize key information and new initiatives".
While the NaNo Ambassadors' identities aren't public knowledge on the NaNo website, their existence is acknowledged in a couple of ways. The 2013 Brought to You By page mentioned the NaNo Ambassadors. The page about the NaNo nonprofit also mentions a way to get in touch for Wrimos interested in the Ambassador program. As of September 2014, you can now apply to join the NaNoWriMo Ambassadors program.
The NaNo Ambassadors were recognized in the Brought to You By page on the NaNo website in 2015 for helping tell the world about NaNoWriMo.

NaNoWriMo Ate My Soul

NaNoWriMo Ate My Soul is a NaNoWriMo forum where Wrimos commiserate about the negative aspects about the noveling experience. The forum was called "I Hate Myself and Want to Die" until 2006, when it was renamed to its current name. This forum is popular during the NaNoWriMo season, as many things can go wrong while noveling or living a non-noveling life.
This forum is a subforum of Reaching 50K as of September 2019.
== Forum Description == 
2003: "I am a talentless hack. Why do I do this to myself every year?"
2005: "I knew it was going to be bad, but not this bad. A clubhouse for novelists in distress."
2006-2014: "A clubhouse for novelists in distress."
2015-present: "Your laptop won’t boot, the coffee pot is empty, and your cat refuses to move off of the keyboard. This is the premier support group for novelists in distress."

NaNoWriMo Cookbook

The NaNoWriMo Cookbook is a collection of recipes contributed by Wrimos for Wrimos to cook their necessary meals quickly and channel that extra time into writing and procrastination. DM started the cookbook in 2007 out of boredom and a desire to help out the Wrimos who put off eating in order to write. The result was a book of recipes ranging from breakfast to dessert to drinks and everything in between.
DM has continued putting together the cookbook every year since then, requesting recipes in the forums each year during the off-season and noting what recipes are particularly needed. The new cookbook is released in October when the NaNoWriMo site is relaunched.
Most of the recipes stay in the cookbook from year to year. New editions of the cookbook feature new recipes alongside the ones from the previous year.

==History==
When NaNoWriMo was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 2006, one of their first steps was to obtain a physical office, as opposed to running NaNo out of coffee shops like they did in previous years. The first office was located in Oakland with Tim Lohnes (who had won the first six NaNoWriMos) and his cartography company.
In 2010 NaNoWriMo moved to its current location in Berkeley.
==The first floor==
The first floor contains:
* Two window corner nooks, often decorated with posters and a desk.
* A waiting area for visitors
* Desks for everyone working there
* An intern station
* A bulletin board with a nice collection of tacks
* Past NaNo and Script Frenzy posters on the wall
* A painting of Tom Selleck
* A plaque showcasing Donation Derby winners
* A microwave and coffee maker with past winner's certificates on the wall and running hot water
* Voldefridge the refrigerator
* A storage area under the stairs containing past and present NaNo merchandise
* A bathroom
* A tree
==The second floor==
The second floor contains:
* A couch and coffee table often seen in virtual write-ins
* A conference table and chairs
* A bathroom, with past Winner's Certificates hung on the wall
* A bookshelf containing books about writing and books by published Wrimos

NaNoWriMo Writing Marathon

The NaNoWriMo Writing Marathon is a writing marathon fundraiser for the Office of Letters and Light. It was first held on 13 April 2013.
While the NaNoWriMo staff component of the marathon took place online via Twitter and Google+ hangouts, Wrimos all over the world met up in person to marathon their way through their novels.
Wrimos pledged to write for a certain number of hours during the marathon. When they did, they donated $13.10 per hour written (equivalent to 13.1 miles per half marathon) and received marathoner Web Badges for the occasion. Participants also used the #nanothon hashtag
The NaNoWriMo staff also appeared in Google+ livestreams at the top of every hour between 10am and 6pm Pacific Time, taking questions and talking about whatever was on their mind.
The NaNoWriMo Writing Marathon raised a total of $7074 that day, beating the original goal of $5000.
The Writing Marathon returned during NaNo 2013, with a goal of $50,000 dollars raised on November 9. NaNo HQ gave away hourly prizes for donors, such as Kindles, copies of software, and merchandise from the store. Regions hosted special events for the day to motivate Wrimos to write and donate. The marathon raised over $64,000 that day.
Camp NaNoWriMo 2014's Nanothon happened on April 12.

NaNoWriMo blog

The NaNoWriMo blog is the official blog of National Novel Writing Month.

The current NaNoWriMo blog is hosted on Tumblr with Disqus comments and a custom domain. This setup allows Wrimos on Tumblr to like and reblog posts of interest so their followers can see those posts.

* Bloggy Award: The Bloggy Award is a staff-created award for particularly exceptional posts. The current holder of the Bloggy Award can pass it on to a staff member who writes a post of note.

NaNoWriMo theme

:This article discusses the annual NaNoWriMo themes. For other uses, see Theme.
The NaNoWriMo theme is an idea or topic that centers a yearly NaNoWriMo event's merchandise and graphics. The theme also guides NaNoWriMo's messaging and the names of merchandise items in the NaNoWriMo Store.
While the earlier years of NaNoWriMo primarily used the yearly theme for the changing participant icon designs, the theme eventually extended to its current reach of messaging and merchandise, especially after NaNoWriMo became a nonprofit. This helps gives each year a distinct theme while retaining the overall NaNoWriMo feeling.

NaNo Emoji

NaNo Emoji were a set of images available for Wrimos to use in NaNoWriMo forum posts and NaNoMail messages. They were introduced in 2014.
NaNo emoji represent various parts of NaNoWriMo culture, from the Viking helmet to the Traveling Shovel of Death to the plot bunny.
Due to its introduction in 2014, many of the NaNo emoji were designed around the 2014 design theme.
While these NaNo Emoji were not carried over to the Discourse forums in 2019, Discourse does support adding custom emoji, so there is hope. In fact, Lead Forums Moderator Heather Dudley added a velociraptor emoji in October 2019. It is available as a reaction to posts.

NaNo Nomenclature for the New Wrimo

NaNo Nomenclature for the New Wrimo is a NaNoWriMo forums thread created by forum moderator and Municipal Liaison SammaJaye. The forum thread summarizes the terminology used within the NaNoWriMo community in one thread for new and returning Wrimos.
The thread was originally created for SammaJaye's regional community and shared with the wider NaNoWriMo forums in 2019. It includes basic NaNoWriMo terms, key dates for NaNoWriMo events, and key numbers such as 1667 and 50,000. In a way the thread servers as a short version of Wikiwrimo.
Unlike most NaNoWriMo forum threads, the first post is a wiki. The wiki format allows Trust Level 2 and higher Wrimos to edit it.

NaNo Prep

:If you're looking for the forum formerly known as NaNo Prep, see Prepping & Outlining.
NaNo Prep is a NaNoWriMo program that takes place four to six weeks before NaNoWriMo begins. In a less formal sense, NaNo Prep can also refer to any activity a Wrimo undertakes in preparation for writing a novel. These activities can relate to the writing itself or the non-writing aspects of a Wrimo's life.
==Examples of NaNo Prep==
NaNo Prep can mean different things to different Wrimos. Some activities a Wrimo may do as NaNo Prep include:
* Develop a story idea
* Collect lists of names and places
* Outlining
* Character sketches
* Worldbuilding
* Creating a beat sheet
* Making time for NaNoWriMo
* Preparing food in advance
* Figure out where to squeeze writing into a busy schedule
This is not a comprehensive list. Some Wrimos, especially planners, may do a lot of these things as part of NaNo Prep, while others may do just a few.
==NaNo Prep in the NaNoWriMo Community==
While NaNo Prep has been a topic of discussion in the NaNoWriMo forums for a long time, NaNoWriMo HQ officially embraced NaNo Prep in 2012 with a few NaNo Prep-related blog postshttps://blog.nanowrimo.org/tagged/nano-prep. The first official NaNo Prep day happened on October 17, 2012Email from OLL HQ, October 9, 2012. Subject: "[OLL HQ] A special letter from Lindsey, and 2012 NaNo Prep". The day featured NaNoWriMo tips shared via the #NaNoPrep hashtag on Twitter along with discussion on the NaNoWriMo forums.
September 2013 welcomed the formal start of NaNo Prep season with a donation-supported webinar featuring Chris Baty, Tavia Stewart-Streit, Lindsey Grant, and published Wrimo Rachael Herron.
NaNoWriMo 2014 introduced a dedicated NaNo Prep pagehttps://web.archive.org/web/20141111012104/nanowrimo.org/nano-prep (retrieved 26 June 2020) and the NaNo Prep forum, featuring more resources to help Wrimos in their journey to November. Since then NaNoWriMo has hosted tweetchats, webinars, and virtual write-ins as part of NaNo Prep.
