Gaming the System

I don't know how often you check the Official Nanowrimo blog, but I just looked it up today. And I saw an entry on...ghostwriting. Oh man, wouldn't it just be easier to type 50,000 words over and over again rather than paying someone else to do it for you? Or is someone trying to get extra credit in English class without doing the work?

Sad. Sad. Sad.

The whole point of Nano is to do this yourself. This isn't some sort of rat race. It shouldn't be used to get ahead in anything except for your own personal creative endeavors.

(Also interesting to note, I posted about ghostwriting last month as well.)

Comments:
Ghostwriting in NaNo massively sickens me as well.
It discredits the whole experience for those of us doing it genuinely.

It's hard ENOUGH to try to get people to respect (or even understand) us for doing NaNo in the first place.
I just want to slap those people.
