That man is my idol.

I wonder what he thinks of this contest. If I had to guess (without presuming to know the mind of Gan), I'd say he thinks it's a waste of time and an insult to writing.

He'd likely think us page-munchers of the most undignified sort... those who not only read too fast just to get to the end of a book, but those who WRITE too fast just to reach a word count.

Well, I like to think that he'd consider that many of us will later polish these drafts. That perhaps he'd understand that this isn't the way we always write, that it's a competition and not a way of life.

Still, it makes me sick to my stomach to think he'd consider me a hack for joining up. I've admired the hell out of this guy ever since I was little.
