Hello there, can't believe I've only just found this place.

I'm doing Nano for the first serious time and well on target to complete it. I do have one question that I do need answering though. Is it normal for the characters to do things that you did not want them to do? I mean I'm used to them running away with the plot but the story always goes roughly in the direction I've planned it to go, this time it's gone totally in a different direction!

Woot, done!

This community pushed me to finish my first draft of a novel that I was working on! It's a cumbersome 210,000 words but it's done! I've always wanted to write a novel. It's a Jr. detective novel set at a zoo. I'm only going to write one Jr. detective novel, and, by law, if you have Jr. detective novel series have to have *one* zoo adventure story.

Keep writing!

So while everyone is off posting their successes and wins (CONGRATS TO ALL OF YOU!), and Mean Mod Mo (alliteration... heh) is still sprinting and writing strong...

This mod has sadly thrown in the towel. Because for the first time in four NaNo years, I literally can not find the time to write, or the energy. And so, with my pitiful 12.5K, I will stand back and pat all of you on the back and be happy for your win while secretly plotting your deaths.

Just kidding. About the whole plotting deaths bit. Yeah.

This post here? Is for those who had to give up. Be it school, work, children, kidnapped by aliens... let's all mourn our loss together, and plot on what we can do differently next year to hit that 50K.

Cause you are all doing NaNo next year, right? You know you signed your souls away when you signed up for this. There's no choice. IT'S AN ADDICTION.

I've put out the cookies and hot chocolate (both with and without milk), and some carrots for you diet people who don't want cookies.

Come chat.

Done it!

50371 words. And the story's not yet finished!

Now my fingertips ache. That was hard work!

This year, it is a challenge

D:

I did NaNoWriMo last year blissfully. This year, many obstacles have contended against me.

Like... overdue assignments. Not being able to start until the seventh due to computer problems. Having to attend school all day and then finish my homeschooling work in the afternoon. And now my wrist is slightly broken. And I am in a bandage with a splint-like thingy. And it is in the way of my typing. I can slowly right-hand type, but I'm working on a small desk here -- and I have nowhere to put my arm. It instinctively wants to rest in the non-existent area between the edge of the desk and the keyboard, but my keyboard is over the edge. My movement is impeded, too.

Damn. *sigh* I'm determined to hurdle through the last 8k to victory, but it's just hard sometimes. This is really uncomfortable. Today was supposed to be an outlier day, but I was up at the emergency department, which is pathetically slow and moronic in my locality... and I need sleep, I guess...
