Just so people know, the entire point of NaNoWriMo is to train your consistency in writing. Just writing. Not in thinking up stories, not in clever wordplay, not in literary craftmanship. Just writing.
The point is all that stuff can be taken care of later, and the first copy will always suck anyways so there's no point in trying to make it good, just make it.
Huh. This is pretty much the opposite of my attitude towards anything. When writing something, I tend to tinker around mentally for quite some time until I find the precise phrasing I am comfortable with, that precise phrasing often having the form of quite lengthy and convoluted sentence-structures which upon proper reading are still correct and coherent, containing vocabulary that is overly technical, so that a maximized amount of information can be squeezed into a minimized amount of words while still being digest- and understandable, at least for me.
For perspective, in high school I usually had one of the lowest word-count per exam, yet had one of the better grades most of the time.
Actually, this is evidence that it may be not that bad an idea to join. Then again I don't have the neccessary product of time, inclination and dertermination to finish such a task. :derp:
So yeah, good luck and a tip of my hat to everone who endulges in this most ambitious activity. :moogy:
