Everything you type into your file you call "novel" in November counts. This means:
[b]Includable Title Dedications Introductions Forewords Afterwords Epigraphs Prefaces Author's Notes Endnotes Footnotes Appendices Chapter titles The actual prose
Things you probably shouldn't count:
Headers Footers Page Numbers
If you are quoting other works (such as lyrics, poems, movies, plays, books, etc.) you MAY count them towards your final word count goal. (Whether or not the items are copyright and you're allowed to publish your book with such exerpts is an entirely different matter.)
I don't see why the author's name wouldn't count, but I'm leaving that up to you.
