I'll call bullshit these two cons:
It's clear that the NaPM threads are segregated, like the Practice threads. The poems can live there untouched as an exercise or they can move into careful crafting and workshopping, the same as your home notebook, whatever form that lives in. The process is similar to what I do here anyway: write something, edit it for flaws I can see on my own and then workshop it, usually still pretty raw. So for me the NaPM poems aren't that different, some are trashy and some have potential, can't blame NaPM for that.
Quote:Con: Many never learn to revise because the habit of immediate posting becomes impulsive and
after enough participation becomes a habit.
Quote:Con: Writing daily encourages posting first drafts without reflection or revision;
leaves little room for deep thinking or careful crafting.
