I’ve won NaNoWriMo twice, failed twice (I think…) and doubt that I’ll do it again. But it was worthwhile. If nothing else, I found that it’s not as hard as “most people” would think to write 50,000 words in a month — words that hang together, more or less, to tell a story. I’m just not a socially-oriented person, so perhaps not ideally suited to the community aspect of the project. But I’m glad it exists and with the same reservations expressed in this article I’d recommend NaNoWriMo to anyone who already enjoys fiction writing.
