books written in about a month
It has come to my attention that NaNoWriMo officially supports "A.I." for writing, which is a frankly ludicrous declaration that not only outputs garbage but also insults the very people it claims to support! True writers do not need random word generators to create good output! In fact, the opposite is true: relying on "easy" fixes for creativity defeats the very purpose of creativity, and for goodness's sake, don't use it to write legal documents. I have deleted my account and will be removing the NaNoWriMo graphics from my site when I can.The National Novel Writing Month organization is dedicated to prompting would-be novelists to get started on the books that they would write if not for having better things to do. Despite my own better judgement, I joined in November 2005--at the prompting of a friend--and, at long last, put a story to writing that had gone virtually untouched for fifteen years. Since then, I have started a new novel every year, so long as I have had ideas.
