This site convinces would-be authors to stop procrastinating and just write something, anything that totals 50,000 words, in the month of November. It's kind of competition, but everyone who completes the word count wins the prize... which is, not really anything except the respect of your fellow NaNoWriMo'ers. I'm sure a lot of people have heard of this already, but the website has developed into its own community where you can read excerpts from users and check out who's been published, etc.
Roughly related—but not really relevant until February—is the RPM challenge where people attempt to write and record an entire album of music (10 songs or 35 minutes) in the month of February.

I am an instructor at Misque, a writer's retreat for authors with complete (or nearly complete!) novels, who want to take the next step and prepare it to be sent to agents and editors.
