"I started my first novel on NaNoWriMo but didn't make the 50k mark in time. However, I did finish my book and am now off to market. \r\n\r\nOne beef with it stems from the fact it encourages intentionally bad writing. People freely admin they wrote 10K of crap on a lunchbreak and they want some kind of medal for it. Also, it encourages writer-fetishism, \"I'm writing. See. Me make words on paper. Writing is just like a drum circle, except the drum circle is paper. You must love me!\" It's like the uber-Christians who are so self-consciously family oriented. You don't get accolades for doing what you're supposed to. Just do the 'effing thing and fill that soul hole with something proper, like booze."
