Hi, all. I'm Chris, and this is my first NaNo. I actually decided to participate on Halloween, so it may have not been the most rational decision, considering I was under the influence of too much candy at the time. I went in with a vague, barely-formed idea ("post-apocalyptic wingfic!"), no character names, no character personalities, no plot, no ending, and no setting. Right now I'm at almost 30,000 words and I have no idea how I have gotten here. Before this, the longest thing I had ever written was 9,000 words of fanfiction (this is original fiction). I have a vague ending in sight now, nine or so characters, and I'm making everything up as I go but hey, whatever works, right?

I'm seventeen and from NE Ohio, and I suppose doing this is better than tipping cows (kidding. Kidding. Cows get enough trouble as is without me prodding at them).
