Somehow I don't know. But I definitely haven't heard that as much as I feel like I also would occasionally see that kind of grump on social media. But yeah, I think that, that more and more writers, the benefit of NaNoWriMo, even if you're a professional writer, and you write 100%, of the time all year round, is that you're doing this together with other people who are also doing this thing. And even professional writers, a lot of them don't write 50,000 words in a month, a lot of times, it's a much slower pace, and it's spread out over a longer period of time.</em></p> </blockquote> <ul> <li> <p><a class="sc-afquy-0 kpuBjA" href="http://valerievaldes.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Home page</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a class="sc-afquy-0 kpuBjA" href= "https://www.harpercollins.com/products/where-peace-is-lost-valerie-valdes?variant=40989136093218" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><em>Where Peace is Lost</em></a></p> </li> <li> <p>Valerie's secret project: <a class="sc-afquy-0 kpuBjA" href= "https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lost_Caverns_of_Ixalan" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow
