I reserve the right to pick my own month, though.

Yeah, but then you don't get the cool features on the website.

The stats feature is dead sexy, but I can get the same cool graphs with a spreadsheet program and five minutes. (And that web site is cluttered with random German, for some reason.) Is there some other neat feature that you're talking about?

By the way, congratulations on getting your novel written.

I think the best part in Nanowrimo is the communality, the shared experience of everyone writing at the same time and complaining about how their writing is crap. By changing the month, you'll miss out on that entirely.

Okay, that shared experience and feeling of community sound like they'll make it much easier to stick with it through the whole month. That's valuable. November it is, then. Thanks!
