NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, although it's long since gone INTERnational. The challenge is to write 50K words in November. Participants congratulate themselves on the insanity of it all.
From the book written by the guy who started it all: "Once upon a time I believed that you needed to have several things before you set out to write a novel. These were, in order of importance: 1) Heart-fibrillating amounts of coffee 2) Plot 3) Character 4) Setting. [...paraphrase: no, you don't need any of this; you need a super magical productivity tool.] What you need to write a novel, of course, is a deadline."
