I can write a manuscript in three to six weeks, but it takes me many months to perfect it. Do you see a difference in the quality of work from self-acknowledged NaNo manuscripts this time of year in comparison with submissions during other times of the year?

He really couldn't have been nicer and seemed surprised, himself, that NaNo writers would query come December 1st... and boast about their manuscripts being a NaNo book in their queries.
