Haha! Yesssss someone else hates it as much as I do. I mean, it's cool that people are giving something a try, but imagining that a person who doesn't write regularly can somehow pull a novel worth reading out of their ass in a month is pretty silly. If it leads to people writing regularly and really becoming dedicated to the craft, then I am all for it. But generally it won't and it doesn't. What I am not all for, is people talking about how their novel is going and complaining about how they aren't hitting their wordcount, as if throwing enough words on a page will somehow birth authors.
