Is It Possible?

I've never participated in NaNoWriMo before and the reason why is the subject of this question. I was talking to a fellow writer who has done Nano for the last two years and she swears that I don't have to be writing a novel to sign up. I could write a short story collection or something like that.

I was wondering: is this true?

I've had a chance to look over the Nano website to get a better understanding of all this. It seems like you could write short stories that are all connected, but to be honest, I don't want to do that. I like what Nano challenges you to do and all the support surrounding it. I need that kind of push to write and I would like a stack of short stories to edit and submit when its all over with. I've tried to write a novel, but I just didn't care for it. I like writing short stories.

There should be something like this for short story writers. I mean they have a similar challenge for screenwriters. So, why not the same for short stories? Or is there one that I don't know about?

Seriously. Write a stack of short stories. At the end of November, put them in one document so NaNo can check it. They really won't know. We'll support you writing 50K in any form

Are you suggesting I deceive the Nano gods?

Just checking.

Thanks for the help, Sage and Quid!
