I think a week spent outlining is time better spent than a year typing shit to see what sticks. The very nature of NinnyNeener requires one to never.slow.down enough to figure out what the fuck you're doing.

Some math:

14 published Novels from NinnyNinnyNooNoo (2013)

11 published Novels from NeenerNeenerNoNo (2012)

310,000 participants (2013)

So. 14-11 = 3/310,000 = 0.0009% chance your NinnyNeener will be published. Meanwhile, the dismal odds editors use to get you to step up your fucking game?

0.2%.

.2%/.00097% = 206 times more likely to get a NON ninny novel published.

If you could do one thing that would make your book more than 200 times more likely to get published, wouldn't you do that one thing?

That one thing is to not do NaNoWriMo.
