For those contemplating NaNoWriMo.

Fiction Bitch, a self-identifying "experienced writer/editor with a loathing of bad writing and a heart of stone." She explains:
3. Doesn't negative feedback discourage rather than nurture the creative process?

Yes, and that's precisely the point. The Fiction Bitch doesn't want to encourage new writers. She wants to weed out terrible writers before they go on to bore millions of innocent publishing house interns to tears. If you suspect you are a lousy writer, the Fiction Bitch can remove all doubts, thus freeing you for other, more productive pursuits.
I'm left with the pleasant afterglow of schadenfreude. Enjoy.
