  NaNoEdMo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taking place in March, NaNoEdMo is a project to complete 50 hours of editing, revising, or re-writing of a completed novel.
As it's difficult to verify time spent editing, a new feature in 2005 is the "buddy system", where each editor is required to have a partner who will stay in contact, offer advice if desired, and testify that 50 hours of editing have been completed at the end of the month.
Like NaNoWriMo, an integral part of NaNoEdMo is the forums, where editors can fact-check, get advice, celebrate victories, hear the latest news, and get in touch with other participants in their area.

 Strange Horizons Columns: Varied Ways of Looking at a Manuscript, by Debbie Notkin
NaNoEdMo (National Novel Editing Month) is a new spin-off of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), a movement which has gotten tens of thousands of aspiring writers onto their rear ends in front of their computers, creating 50,000-word novels in the month of November.
NaNoEdMo, March, is now the month those writers are encouraged to polish and edit their novel drafts, instead of letting all that hard November work languish on a disk somewhere.
Part of my grumpiness with NaNoEdMo is that while I absolutely respect this process, I don't think of it as "editing." Editing is something someone else does; rewriting is what the author does.

You've finished the first draft of your novel, and it has left you feeling triumphant, elated...
Inspired—perhaps coerced— by National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), NaNoEdMo gives novelists the support and inspiration they need to take their novel to the next level.
The mission, should you choose to accept it: to complete 50 hours worth of solid editing, revising or re-writing—roughly enough time for one banzai edit of a 50,000 word novel—all in a mind-boggling 31 days.

NaNoEdMo or National Novel Editing Month, is a self-challenge contest where participants attempt to put in 50 hours of editing time into their novels during the month of March.
EdMo, as it's affectionately called, encourages writers to finish their projects that would otherwise sit locked away in desk drawers or lost in the depths of old computer files.
Nowhere in the rules of NaNoEdMo and the Buddy System did it require an editor to share their novel, or even ask questions, but it did necessitate a writer to stop being just a writer and start working with someone as an editor.

Now, since March has about 5 weeks (give or take a few days), total hours that I need to accomplish by the end of this week is 10.

The whole lot of us crossed midnight at some point, and NaNoEdMo is over, no matter where you are or how ready you were for it to happen.
My biggest problem, on the other hand, is simply making sure that the reader really knows the characters well enough that their actions seem natural.
It is more that I see other people who are ahead of me and I think “I really need to work harder, so that they won’t be ahead of me like that.” I just hit 12 hours, which means that I have been averaging 2 hours a day (just as I planned - bwahahaha).
