Well, that's not cool. Length does not necessarily correspond to the value of a work. It's only important, I should think, in terms of classification (i.e. is this a short story, a novella, or a novel).

NaNo is useful, I think, for people who sincerely want to be able to write beyond the "short story" classification, but who are having trouble revving their engines. It's hard to cultivate that kind of stamina. A friendly competition can be helpful.

That's generally how I think about it. Particularly when I've seen people who do that usually using over-describing things to pad out their word counts. Purple prose or near it. Seems it's the smuggest ones who do that.

I guess. I don't really think it'd help me since it'd be more likely to just make me constantly neurotic, and I'm neurotic enough about my writing as it is. If people want to do it...whatever. But I do wish there was a little less hype over it.
