A Writer Against NaNoWriMo

[browngirl]

So, Alma A. Hromic, a writer, has written an article condemning NaNoWriMo and its participants, which can be read here: http://www.swans.com/library/art8/aah032.html

I have to admit, I was a bit worried about reactions like this one, because I have friends who write for a living, friends who have written for years and years, and I worried about seeming to trivialize their vocation and livelihood. What do people think of her take on NaNoWriMo, not least you, my friends on LJ who are writers?

I think that one reason they say that is to get through to those who think "but what if I write crap, not Deathless Prose?", to tell them/us that it's OK if what we write isn't deathless prose.

December is for revisions, after all. ;)

Besides, it's fun to be part of a mass insanity. :D
