So i decided to attend the "kick off" meeting for nano in my home region of NC, USA and was aggigated by the mentality of the people who were both running it (the nano reps) and the other writers.
They kept promoting this idea of just reaching 50 k is the most important thing. Write random junk, write about whats on your mind if you get stuck, etc,etc...
they really dont care if you write a story. to nano, it is just as good as copy and pasting the same paragraph a million times to reach 50k... seemed odd to me.
i personally am working on a novel that i plan to edit for a few months and hope to shop it and get it published. i feel in the minority in this idea and use of nano. am i just running with wrong crowd?
