Okay, now I'm sort of pissed. Here's a quote on the forums from someone who claims to be an academic:
"Anyone not intending to publish anything ever is wasting my time if they ask me to help teach them how to write better."
What? Does this mean that this person considers writing worthless if the end goal is not publishing? I thought writing, and by extension wanting to write better, was something that most people like to do regardless of any monetary gain. If everyone doing Nanowrimo thought this way, we'd have far less winners at the end of the month.
