3. The one in November is just about writing approx. 1,500 words every day

And you end up with 50,000 words at the end of the month. I tried it a few times and ended up not finishing (we always travel for Thanksgiving). But the organization is mostly about providing encouragement and support, not necessarily sharing each day's work. It's also about just getting the words on paper and not necessarily perfect writing. The editing and perfecting can be done after the month is completed. It's a good way to keep your butt in the chair every day.
