You again.
I've posted about this person before. See: "Your attitude is appalling" (DWJ/ LJ), "Fuck your high horse" (DWJ/ LJ), and "This is not good advice for aspiring writers" ( LJ).
I'm not proud of this post. This post epitomizes the ugly side of me, the hateful, petty, judgmental me who runs her mouth off when she sees red and then regrets it for weeks, if not months. But there are a few special people I reserved unfiltered, unadulterated hatred for, and this is one of them.
Disclaimer: Don't go trolling and/or don't mention me or my handle(s) if you do leave a comment. I'd like to not get banhammered from deviantArt, thank you very much.
I have always snickered at the NaNoWriMo's. I've never participated, because I've never needed to: I wrote my first novel when I was 14, and have averaged about one every year since. If you think that makes me smug, I'll point out that one really good way to get a writer's habit is to get six inches of titanium surgically inserted into your crooked spine. When writing becomes about the only thing you can do without screaming, you take to it rather readily. In light of my 24-Hour Comic ordeal, ol' NaNoWriMo is looking suspiciously like it, except drawn out for 30 days. I realized I've never weighed in on the contest, and figured I needed to toss out 5 criticisms. It's become tradition at this point.
Didn't even manage to read the entire journal entry. I got up to "2. It's all about the 50k words!" and quit because I will not subject myself to her arrogance and stupidity. I lied; I skimmed the entire load of crap, and god my blood boils.
It's been over a year since my argument with her. And then here I am, going through deviantArt's search engine looking for some stock photos, and I find something cool. I try to fav+ it but no such luck - the deviant banned me. Then I looked at the deviant's name and all that disgust and hatred came rushing back.
Not surprisingly her journal continues to be as condescending as ever.
I really, really hate her. I hate how she misses all the fucking points about NaNoWriMo and I hate just how many ass kissers she has, these people who just parrot back all her talking points without understanding that NaNoWriMo is more than:
I CAN'T. I really can't, since we banhammered each other.

- writing a bunch of crap and calling it a novel when it's just a shitty first draft and a real novelist rewrites and rewrites
- it's all about making 50k by the end of November because all that matters is the word count
- everyone's with me so that means I'm not alone when really I am alone because all writers are alone
- NaNoWriMo won't teach you self-discipline because you are not a novelist for writing 50k words in 30 days and then never writing a word of (non)fiction again
- NaNoWriMo will encourage people who aren't fit to be novelists to put out more crap like the awful remakes of movies and the Transformers movies, and become the next Christopher Paolini and the next Stephanie Meyer
I CAN'T. I really can't, since we banhammered each other.
