this was how I learned there was a nanowrimo non-profit, I thought it was just a thing people did
Tomorrow's headline: No Nut November has gone bankrupt

These hollowed balls
for every thing people do some fart smella tries to monetize it
Yeah like what support would they give me if I decided to write a novel in November(also one month doesn't seem like long enough to polish off a full novel lol), or are they just promoting the general concept?
edit: seems like they did run a few useful programs(like loaning laptops but they hadn't done that since 2009) but not in over a decade it seems, it looks to be mainly a website and forum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Novel_Writing_Month they must have been paying employees salaries, cause you wouldn't need that many donations would cover hosting for a good while
The concept is basically just trying to hit 50K words in a month as an exercise. Like not worrying about editing or quality, just getting something down everyday. I actually think it's pretty useful, even though I've only done it once.
I really don't know how or why the silly writing challenge was an organization with employees, though.
