The whole idea has more to with accomplishing a goal than winning an actual prize. It's also based on the honor system. People could, theoretically, start before November 1st, or even lie about how many words they actually wrote, but those people would know in their hearts that they did not win. @Cath, The NaNo prize is a 50k-word novel.

The only thing I'm wondering is - Is there a prize for the winner? If so, how do they know folk didn't begin writing before the one month deadline?

I was sort of nervous but now that I've got my first 972 words, I'm feeling a lot better about it. @Brad, Thanks! It is a little stressful because this first week I'm also busy with other projects but then I should have a little more time and get adjusted enough to be relaxed about it. I appreciate your good vibes ;) @Friar, There's always next year! Your storybook is coming along nicely so I think sticking to that is a smart move. @Deb, I’m excited too.
