 Good, but wish it included the book, too. November 20, 2008
This kit is cute and a lot of fun. I thought that the kit included the "No Plot, No Problem" book as well (so it seemed like a great deal) but the booklet with the very similar cover was just an intro to the kit. Besides that confusion, I am otherwise enjoying the kit.
I'm mid-Nano right now and I'm using the cards, the pages in the booklet in which you write your "Magna Cartas" (the things you love and hate about novels) and the gold star chart. I love the idea of the gold stars, though these ones are a little cheap and sort of hard to peel off. It probably should be a little less expensive for what you get, but I know it put a smile on my face. I'm halfway through my novel and going strong.
 A gimmick July 6, 2008
No sooner had I taken off the wrapping and inspected the contents, I realized I'd been had. This is nothing more than a gimmick; the book by the same title might have been slightly better. But at this point I wouldn't bet any money on it being so. I think the author must be thinking that his title is so catchy it's worth the price of a book, or in this case, a kit. Don't waste your money folks, unless you want to buy a very wry gift for someone else.
 A Fun Product March 26, 2008
I just received my copy and it is very impressive and its contents are very creative. You just want to open the box over and over again while it is also thrilling. Hey, I have read books for beginners but none compares to this. As a student writer I would highly recommend this to my fellow classmates.
Fun Kit for NaNoWriMo Experience October 26, 2007

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RME0HU1PV32WS ****
This is a fun and funky kit for participants in the National Novel Writing Month experience (NaNoWriMo), which takes place every November. Note that although it includes a short (44 page) book, it is not the same as the author's full-length book of the same title. I view "No Plot? No Problem" (the full length book) as an important asset to NaNoWriMo. This kit, however, is strictly for those who want to have fun with stickers, buttons, a rolled-up contract, and more. It is for those who want to go all out for NaNoWriMo, and who want some "toys" to help them have an even better time. If money is tight, spend it elsewhere, as you can make most of these things yourself. If you don't mind the cost, and know that it's all just for fun, then buy and enjoy it as I did.
In this video I open the kit and show you everything inside. The video is just under 4 minutes.

I found this product to be exactly what was needed: Lighthearted but also on-the-mark. It's one thing to read a book on the subject of cranking out a novel in 30 days, and another one to actually have support in charting it.
As for those who feel that the kit was too expensive - I got a lot more out of this $25 product (paid full-price at the local bookstore) than I did in 6 much more expensive hours with a writing coach (who expressed surprise that I had actually completed a draft - which made me wonder, is it that unusual?)
I intend to use this system again and again.
