Let’s get into the meat of the issue today! I’ve asked our amazing agents about both the good and bad parts of NaNo as they see them…Q: Everyone says NaNo is great for getting *writing,* but writing fast isn’t for everyone, so do you believe participating can be detrimental at all to a writer’s skills?
Natalie:
No. I think if you want to go for it, fantastic; but I think a practice of setting and writing to deadline and just getting something finished, even if it’s a hot mess, can only help more than hinder.
