Emo!Nano'er Spot

[alison-sky.livejournal.com]

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.

I got sick and my novel sucked. Next year I will plan. :-(

Ew. Sick during NaNo is never fun.

And hate to say, but everyone thinks that way about their NaNo. All part of the "write crap as fast as you can" mindset. *nods*

But planning is good.

You're right, you're right. I am weak! I think I really needed to plan a bit, if only to get me through the first 10,000 words or whatever. I think if I had got far enough in without having to struggle so much, I wouldn't have abandoned it. I also think next year I will put "write crap as fast as you can" on a poster on the wall, to remind me that I CAN do that!

[alison-sky.livejournal.com]

Yes. I might even make a "write crap as fast as you can" icon set next year if someone reminds me, JUST FOR YOU *hugs*

And yes you can do it. I got faith.

I feel you on the no energy front btw - once I had done what I had energy for - I had no time to write!
