GYWO comment

I'm super-behind on GYWO, even on the lowest word count. I blame work.

If I had a project this November it would make me on target, but I don't. Even if I had the energy I wouldn't try it officially, anyway. Smarter people than I have spoken about NaNoWriMo and its new sponsor. All I have are some vague thoughts about how it's kind of pointless to have an "effort-saving" tool* being pushed by an event where the effort is the point.

Anyway, I'm determined to write SOMETHING for Five Figure Fic Exchange, and I still have Fic-In-A-Box to finish. So it's not like I'll have nothing by the end of November.

*I put that in quotes because anyone who's read a long piece of fiction written by Gen AI knows that the editing will not be fun. Honestly, if NaEdWriMo was an actual event and not a joke offshoot, THAT would make sense to be sponsored by a Gen AI company. I still wouldn't like it, but it would make sense. Editing fifty thousand words of that sounds like a nightmare to me.

Good luck, I hope you get some satisfying bits of writing done :) It's been sad to see everything that's happened to NaNoWriMo, but I've been happy to see all sorts of other events popping up left and right to fill November with words regardless :) Happy writing!
