Thank you for bringing this controversy to my attention, Charlotte! I didn’t know. Phew! I’m on the Charlotte team! That’s my novel writing umbrella this year. ♥️
Charlotte, thanks for this post. I have been dismayed by what I have heard about NANOWRIMO 's stance on AI, and I decided to go forward without them. It's good to know there are places that I can turn to for solidarity and support this next month.
I just posted about NaNo myself! I'm planning to do the writing challenge this year and it will be my first time getting back on that novel writing horse in many years. Good luck with your writing ventures!
Oh, excellent, I'll come take a look. And good luck with Nano! I really do love it, and there's such good energy around it. At least there has been in the past, but I think it will continue this year. Thanks for reading!
I had heard about NoNaWriting thing years ago but never thought I could even get a start going so never bothered, but as time has passed me by, I think why shouldn't I try and those handouts of yours, if they help, then darn it like a sock I am going to have a go! Thank you again. Also I had no idea that NoNaNeeWriting thingy was adopting AI as a viable way to go. So sad. So sad. I feel like wearing a sandwich board and parading around calling out "The End Is Nigh!" and "The End is nigh for nonaneewriting thingy, too!"
I haven't done nano in years, but would love to start my next novel this November. (But first I have to finish the one I'm revising and am SO LATE with. LOL) I did a little prepping for this next book that I'm super excited about--my prep was a very rough outline of the story arc and the beginnings of a beat sheet. I'm looking forward to sitting down with your PDFs when I plan the book out for real. That'll be my goal for November: finish this revision and then plan the next series starter. 😁 Thanks for all of this! 💙
I love hearing other writer's plans because it helps me to formulate mine. I hope the PDFs are helpful. You are so amazingly productive I'm in awe of you!
It hasn't been officially canceled, it has been canceled in the sense of how we cancel celebrities we disagree with, etc. But plenty of people are doing it on their own or with others.

Oh yay, I'll hold my umbrella up for you any day, my friend!

I think a lot of writers are going forward without them. The energy will still be there. I'm so glad you are still planning to do it!
Looking forward to perusing your helpful PDFs when I’m safely at home with a lovely cup of tea, thank you !
I hope you do find them helpful!
Thank Charlotte! What a wonderful gift!
Aw, thanks, Criss! Hope it will be helpful to you as you bring Desiree to glorious life!

Oh Simon thank you for the good laugh! And good luck on your novel-writing efforts!

I did not realize it was canceled! Though things being how they are I maybe could not have done it. Or maybe I could.

Gotcha. Well - it’s just a construct to keep us on task - so easily - not much of a prize if we are competing against the machine!
