NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month. It's held every year during the month of November, and it's aimed at writers, both aspiring and published. Just want to have a go at FanFic? You can do that too. Write your memoirs? Got it covered. Whatever you want to write, you can do it.
The main aim of NaNoWriMo (or Nano, for short) is to complete a rough draft of a novel of at least 50,000 words during the month of November. That works out to about 1,667 words per day. There is some great support on the forums there, for anything and everything to do with writing.
I've been doing this since 2010, and there are also Camps (virtual ones) during April and July which are a lot more relaxed as to word counts and suchlike. Nano is free, although it does cost money to run, and although there is no obligation, you can contribute a small amount of money to get your halo on your profile pic. Minimum is $10.00, but nobody should take you to task if you can't afford that. There are plenty of people who can't, so don't let that stop you. And there are other ways to contribute if you want to help, but lack the means.
Come and have a look around:

The forums have recently been wiped for this year's November, and things are starting to warm up over there. You can even download a special trial version of Scrivener (a writing programme) which lasts until December 7 (I think) and if you win Nano, you can purchase it at a discounted price, as with other sponsored offers which you can find in the Special Offers section of the forums, which are in the dropdown menu under Conversations in the brown bar near the top of the page.
It's a lot of fun. Come and give it a try. Stroll through the forums and see what's what. At the very least, you can rewrite the books that drive you crazy, in a way you think is better.
