My last attempt at anything related to NaNoWriMo was in 2020, when I quit halfway through, realizing that a mad word count dash a) resulted in nothing more useful than a long word salad, and b) was bad for my mental health. On the other hand, attempts to write completely independently, in the years since, without being accountable to anyone else, has led to me simply not writing.

My most productive writing (and my highest quality writing) has been done in a social setting, be that academically (college & university writing workshops), when I was writing with The Art Garden (a "literary magazine for the stage"), and the brief period when I was writing original fairy tales on commission (before I realized I couldn't manage making it a business).

I'd just about forgotten about NaNoWriMo, until I saw a post on Tumblr about their stance on A.I., and got all nostalgic about the good side of social writing. So: Poll Time:

They should have a separate category for AI to keep that away from real writers.
