NiaD

If you thought trying to write a novel in a month was a madman’s dream, what about writing a novel in a day? Well, “Novel in a Day” is exactly what NiaD stands for. It’s not quite as impossible as it sounds, however—one day each year, a number of writers come together to write a chapter of a book each. NiaD is the brainchild of a Scrivener user (moniker: Pigfender) and is still predominantly run on the L&L forums. It’s usually run in October as a warm-up for National Novel Writing Month. As you’d imagine, the finished books are somewhat disjointed, but it’s a lot of fun.
