We didn't want to create a sketch hosting service when there are already so many ways to publish documents online. If you have a blog, you can post your sketch there. (Depending on where your blog is hosted, you might be able to use Scrippets to get proper formatting.) Another option is to publish your sketch using Google Docs.
Once you've published your sketch, you can post a link to it on this site.
Posting your writing is optional. NaSkeWriMo is about motivating yourself to write. You don't even have to share the title if you don't want to; just leave both fields blank to simply announce you've written a new sketch.
We borrowed the idea of setting aside a month for a big writing project, but aside from that, NaSkeWriMo and NaNoWriMo are completely unrelated.
One of the greatest inhibitors to writing is judgment. Potential writers don't write because they are worried that they don't have enough ideas or that the ideas they have aren't good enough. So they wait, when what they should be doing is simply writing.
If this website became a forum to vote on sketches, writers would begin to worry about the quality of their output, or compete with one another for rankings, and that would take away from the mission of this project. NaSkeWriMo is about motivating yourself to write without judgment.
Operating this website costs real money, that comes out of our pockets. (At our current level of popularity, that comes to about $20 per year.) We could have put up a button asking for donations, but who wants to donate money without getting a tote bag in return?
Absolutely! The website is written in PHP using the CakePHP framework. All the source is available on GitHub. If you can contribute code or simply report bugs and request features on the issue tracker.
The website has been rewritten as a Ruby on Rails app. I plan to open source it again. If you're interested, bug me, and I'll probably do it faster.
