NaNoWriMo...except for non-fiction

Have any of you done National Novel Writing Month?  Each November, a intrepid group of writers sign in to write a novel in November.  They cheer each other on and do word counts and generally keep everyone focused on the work at hand.

I was thinking this morning that it would be fun to do something like that with non-fiction.  The new book is about 1/3 of the way to a strong first draft but I've been travelling so much this year that I haven't given it the attention due.

I posted a query on Facebook and then Googled it and found there is such a beast.  Here's the link--

I signed up and will spend the rest of this evening--where I've been mostly updating my blogs--looking over all my notes about the new book.  I really would love to have that first draft done by the end of December.
