NaNoWriMo: Yes or No? http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/the-polling-booth/threads/37266 Egress I'm doing a survey for school, so anyone who's willing to answer please do! Do you like NaNo or not?

Not this year only cuz my plans were totally effed over. Even if I do "win", that'll only be because I rebelled like crazy.

I do dislike one thing about it though, that you cannot change your word count goal to a higher/lower word count. I think that the word count goal truly does make or break someone's writing. For someone who thinks of 50k as too much of a stretch, they should be able to set it to 20k or a different count. For someone like me who isn't motivated to write past the goal that everyone else is striving towards, I would much rather post my word count at 80k or so, just so that I am kept motivated to continue writing throughout the course of the month.

You'd get better answers on other forums that are about writing, imho. Of couse I like nano. I wouldn't be here if I didn't. This thing is like the only reason for me to write anything at all. Plus, I got to know a bunch of friendly people in my region which is great. <3 I'm not good at socializing, so this is the best opportunity to get out and meet people who have similar interests.
