Behind? Don't worry, so am I

So it worked last week, and let's see if it can work again.

Today is Tuesday, November 13th.

Thanksgiving is 9 days away (AGHS!)

Christmas is 42 days away (holy hell...)

And NaNo? Ends in 17 days. (yikes!)

Today - you should be at least at 21,671.

... you can stop freaking out now. Because today? Today is challange day!

Like last week, if you're behind, whether it's 1K or 10K (like me), today I'm challanging you to MOVE YOUR BUTT AND MAKE IT UP!

In replies, I want those behind to post your wordcount. Don't be ashamed, in fact you'll find out you're so not alone. Then, every free minute you have, write. Just start going, and forget about looking back. Skip to sections you really want to write. Write porn if you must (just hide it at work under what you really should be doing). Hell, have your MC go off on an internal dialogue about his disgust for liver and brussel sprouts.

If you need plot help, you've got the post I just put up. There's resources on the sidebar of the journal layout.

Whatever it takes to get the words. Today is you day to do it. I know you can.

Here's one to make everyone feel better.


I quit my job at the end of October. I purposely haven't found a new one yet so I could do NANO. Midterms are over and my next round of tests isn't until the week before finals. No research papers, no anything.
I have 10 pounds of Halloween chocolate and as an early bday present, I got a $100 GC to Sbux.
Prime Nano-ing conditions, right?
Right, so I thought.



I HAVE NO USABLE WORDS. JUST NOTES.



...... I'm busy writing a 'real' novel to be published. And the plot keeps getting in the way of my Nano. As in, my Nano has NO plot. And I can't use the RN because it's already more than half done. And if I tack on an extra 50,000 it will be too long.

That's right. November 13th and I have a great big old word count of ZERO.

Put aside the RN for now and write NaNo for fun... don't worry about it being good, don't worry about having no plot... just write. That is what NaNo is for!!
