@raiaren Some students even use the event to write research papers or complete their theses.
Many novelists also begin NaNo prep a month or two in advance of the event so that they're prepared to dig right into the writing portion.
I'm sure you probably already know a lot of this info. I used to be an ML (municipal liaison), so if you have any NaNo-related questions, whether now or in the future, just let me know!
