When I was a speech pathology student, I attended a huge team meeting at a children’s hospital. A nurse asked the doctor who was chairing the meeting about a child’s prognosis. His response? “Have I ever told you the story about the cat on the roof?” 1/🧵

What was it I said the other day? Oh yeah, every time you think NaNoWriMo has gone as far down as they can, they do something else.

Check your e-mail and see if you believe the update that just went out about Camp NaNoWriMo.

This just in: NaNoWriMo has a “robust plan” for minors. What that is, nobody knows except Kilby. The information we have right now is that they are not allowed. The YWP teens didn’t get to say goodbye and those forums won’t be reopening. How on earth is that NOT exclusion?

I'm so very interested in what, exactly, NaNoWriMo HQ thinks has happened and what they think they are doing well. I mean, it's fairly clear that they think those of us sounding the alarm are 'bad actors' spreading 'misinformation' and 'slander'. But objectively, come on.
