The NaNoWriMo site has a lot of good resources, and I'm pretty sure they have a few mailing list encouragement if that helps.

I've tinkered with the idea, but with my schedule lately, I'm lucky if I can even flesh out my character for Tim's game. (Which I need to work on tonight, I've dragged my tail feathers long enough in that regard).

Hope that little tidbit helps, and I'll try to dig out some more goodies as well.

Kudos,
Raven
