Writing Community!
One of the biggest parts of the late NaNoWriMo challenge is the still active regional writer communities. You can find many on Facebook and discord.

I do 20 minute snack-fueled writing sprints every Sunday afternoon year ’round, sharing a timer, and then taking a break and chatting for 10-30 minutes with my co-hosts and people in the chat!
