"For me NaNoWriMo is a way to stop me going back and endlessly editing the same pages, rather than moving forward with the story. It's an easy trap to fall in to. It's also a chance to say to all those people you know who say they want to write a novel 'stop fannying about and DO IT then.' If they then proceed to do nothing in future you have the right to stop listening to them go on endlessly about their 'novel' and instead tell them to STFU. Seriously - you will not believe the number of 'writers' who have never written anything!! IMO if you participate in NaNoWriMo you have the right to call yourself a writer, just not a PROFESSIONAL writer - see the difference there? But yes - embrace writers who actually write, even for just a month."
