No, this isn’t my monthly recap post. It’s a little different. November being over also signifies the end of NaNo. Finally.
Now most of the people who rave about the “community” will see how they’ve got it all wrong. Sure some might stay interested in your project, but it likely won’t be too many. Because why would they? They’re going to self-publish soon. Or continue working on their own project. Or they won’t be “writing” much more for the time being. So why would they stay interested in your project when it’s no longer cool? They won’t.
And so many of the NaNo participants will finally shut up about how great NaNo is until Camp NaNo in whichever month. Thank goodness.

I’m going to spend all of December blogging about how great NaNo is. Stay tuned. Just kidding. I should blog more, though–but it definitely won’t be NaNo-centric. Haha.

I’m surprised by your negative attitude toward people who want to write a book. Didn’t you write and publish a book?

Only toward those who think NaNo is the best way to do it.

Now that Nano is over, I have to ask, what did Nano ever do to you? Because you hate it, with a passion. So where is that passion against Nano coming from?

It exists. And fills me with rage. 😂

I actually don’t even hate it that much. A couple of my co workers were doing it and I’ve asked them about it. But on here I get to be opinionated. 😂

It is funny, how you loathe it so much! I’m ambivalent, myself. I think it’s great if it encourages people to write, just as long as they realise they shouldn’t self pub that first draft, that they need to re-write, probably again and again. It’s a jumping off point, not an ending.

I don’t hate it. Okay, I do. But not that much. 😂 But I like being opinionated on here.

Haha! Would be interesting to learn what percentage of books written during NaNo make it to a publishable standard …

Oh! I’ve seen the number! Very, very low. Less than 100 have been picked up by a publisher. Ever. Might be in the 60s. But I’m drawing a blank at the moment.

Hmm. Interesting. And I wonder how many thousands take part every year. But NaNo isn’t really there for the professional, I guess, it’s there for the enthusiastic amateur. And there are worse hobbies to have 🙂

Many thousands EVERY year. I agree. Not something that professionals are likely to take part in.
