I just reread the gong show that is my NaNo novel… it’s sad to read a description paragraph and have it stop in the middle without me finishing my sentence. LOL. ^^;;;

50,102/50,000.
I did it, and a day ahead of schedule (since I wanted to finish this this weekend instead of worrying about it on Monday).
I didn’t copypasta songs to pad wordcount.
I didn’t copypasta blog entries as “writer’s notes” to pad wordcount.
I wrote 50,000 words on ONE SUBJECT, something I thought I’d never, EVER be able to [...]
HAY GUYSE I’M BEHIND DUE TO STUFF TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY BUT I LIKE JUST WROTE 2600 WORDS IN 100 MINUTES AND IT’S THE BEST CHAPTER IN THE WHOLE DAMN BOOK AND I’M SO PROUD OF MYSELF AND I WISH I COULD SHOW YOU BUT I CAN’T YET. ;_;
Okay, that hurt to type.
Not much to report — I really hate this, actually, because I can’t show you guys my progress through various stories.
Anyways, I’ve posted up to where it’s safe. This is really crappy writing, people! I stopped trying after Day 7.

I’m a little surprised at how badly I’m handling NaNo this year:
- I’m allowing myself to get behind (but not too behind)
- I’m not making daily posts
- I don’t have an outline (no, seriously)
I really don’t know why. Lack of enthusiasm? Who knows! All I know is that I’m struggling with it this year, big [...]
Sorry I haven’t been posting status updates; it seems like no too many people are reading this, so I’m disinclined to post further out of fear of boring people. But anyways!
First, I’m going to stop reporting my wordcount, because there’s a handy little widget to your right that says it all in real-time (or close [...]
There’s a curious phenomenon in the NaNoWriMo world called the Week 2 Slump. The underlying cause of it is actually coming down from the euphoric high you feel as you undergo your first week surge into the land of words. Much like an adrenaline crash, the Week 2 Slump is extremely draining, both physically and [...]

There’s not much I can say right now, and unfortunately, I have nothing to show you because of what I’m writing. I struggled through some Nicolaus stuff before I gave up and started writing stuff that happens six months after what I’d written so far. Interestingly enough, this is material that I originally intended [...]
Not much to report. I worked on the glossary yesterday (and actually made it kind of funny), and I wrote an extremely difficult scene tonight. Brain’s kind of mush. I split the files into three for ease of reading, too.

I had less problems today, but I’m still angsting at the characterization. I’ve been told that it seems like I’m a little hesitant with these characters, which is totally understandable because they’re not my own.
With my own characters, there’s no questioning whether they’re in-character or not, because I know what makes them tick. However, as [...]
