    I'm not sure why you're so angry about NaNo,

Because it's everything that's wrong with the amateur literature industry.

Because I've had to read some of that shit and it's execrable.

Because people who can't work on something for more than a month shouldn't work on it for a month.

Because it discourages discipline and denigrates hard work.

    If I'm writing about something I care about, I don't need a bunch of shitheads in a cafe to tell me to write x number of words a day. If I love what I'm writing, I bleed it out of my pen until I have no ink left, and I buy ink by the barrel.

And when none of the above are true, you play NaNoWriMo.
