Hello! Please delete this if it's inappropriate, but my local NaNo group formed our own 501c3 group rather than disband after the collapse of the official group. If you're in the Detroit metro area, we're First Draft Detroit, and we have a ton of programming set up for November this year. Even if you're not in Detroit, our group has a Discord that's especially active that time of year, and we welcome people from all over to join us there. But especially if you're looking for an IRL group to fill the shoes, we're totally welcoming and Midwest Nice at everyone.

The Discord is here:

Again, sorry if this is inappropriate. I just know NaNo communities were super important for people, so I thought I'd share in case anyone in our area was looking.
