Ugh, why do I only get momentum going with typing right before I intend to go to bed?

Welcome to my life. My best writing times come when I should've been in bed two hours ago.

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #91 on:** November 07, 2012, 03:14:48 AM »

Originally I was doing well, but I haven't felt motivated to write, I don't even wanna look at my stats sheet anymore uuuugh.

Phlegeth · « **Reply #92 on:** November 07, 2012, 03:45:15 AM »

I've got the next two days off. Here's hoping to catching up.

6742 words so far

I knew this was a mistake.

At least, I'm getting into the good stuff so maybe speed will pick up? Fuck if I know.

...November is a horrible month for this to be held!

Yeah. The only month that is as bad would be December. And even then it's arguable.

On that note, I'd just like to offer my encouragement to all the people running NaNo. I know I could never pull it off, but I wish you all luck. And if the word counter starts distracting you from the ideas in your mind, hit it with a crowbar and keep running. There's a lot of stories I hope don't die just because they'll finish in January instead of by the 30th. And who knows. Writing comes in bursts.

Quote from: John Steinbeck

Abandon the idea that you are ever going to finish. Lose track of the 400 pages and write just one page for each day, it helps. Then when it gets finished, you are always surprised.

Terrabreak · « **Reply #97 on:** November 14, 2012, 03:44:54 AM »

The best of luck to all the writters out there! You can do it, guys! : )

I wanted to join at the start for the NaNoWriMo this time but, like all the years, told to myself that I really didnt wanted to write it in spanish and my english is not that good yet so....
Stuck between a rock and a hard place :I

At least I will have a lot to read after this month haha~

Halfway point get!

Bias Bus · « **Reply #99 on:** November 17, 2012, 06:38:27 AM »

Broke 10,000+ mark but, god this pacing is killing me.

AnonymousPondScum · « **Reply #100 on:** November 19, 2012, 02:51:38 PM »

Someone please yell at me to actually get something written. :V

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #101 on:** November 20, 2012, 05:28:51 AM »

I'm going to be completely honest with myself and admit that I won't be able to make 50k. I just don't have as much leisure time to write as I did the past two Novembers. I'm still going to stick with the story, but the wild race to 50k is already over for me.

AnonymousPondScum · « **Reply #102 on:** November 20, 2012, 05:49:18 AM »

Likewise. I had an idea for what I wanted to do, but as it turns out it was only that---an idea. Not nearly enough of a full fit for 50,000 words. Not without severe time spent diligently taking a scalpel and glue gun to things, anyway.

That much said, all hail the victorious dead.

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #103 on:** November 20, 2012, 01:12:59 PM »

This idea could safely carry me past 50k words in a single month, that I don't doubt. But I just don't have the time anymore. It's a major blow to my pride to have to own up to reality, but, well, that's where matters stand.

Bias Bus · « **Reply #104 on:** November 20, 2012, 05:04:01 PM »

Yeah, I knew from the get go that doing this was NOT gonna work out, mostly with how little I got done starting out. Real-talk; the idea itself could have carried me well into the 50k mark since the story itself was rather expansive but, we all know how good I am with keeping up with expansive stories! It's kinda shitty know that I wasn't able to get as far as I did that other year (I think I struck like 20 or 30k that year) but, at least I'm still gonna keep writing this like I did my other idea. It'd a waste to simply let it drop off the face of the planet just because I didn't finish a NaNo (again).

trancehime · « **Reply #105 on:** November 21, 2012, 01:08:40 PM »

i'm not going to give up

i've only got 20k words left, but with one week remaining, even that looks far-off... I really have to blame my thesis and my metric ton of other work, but those take priority, naturally.

i'm really disappointed. i hope i can make it...

Garlyle · « **Reply #106 on:** November 21, 2012, 02:49:45 PM »

Come on, guys! I know you can pull through this! It is doable!

Well, it looks like I'm not gonna get much farther. Its not helped by the fact that I actually forgot about this entirely at one point this month. At least I got a helluva lot farther this year than my 2010 attempt.

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #111 on:** November 22, 2012, 08:14:38 PM »

It's doable, you just have to have the time. And if you don't, then you should be realistic and accept that. I mean, it's possible to break out in a writing frenzy and throw out 20k words a day, but is it likely? Either way, do what works for you and your schedule best.

All of this.

I mean, I could keep going right now but, with the pace I have and the speed I go, there's just no way I can get anywhere near 20k words a day, even if it's a miracle of some sort. But, like I said, the best I can give is continuing to write it even though NaNo's over. At least then I have the pace I'm most comfortable with and can fix things.

So yeah.

Prody · « **Reply #113 on:** November 24, 2012, 09:46:23 AM »

Woops! Looks like I don't even have the time to make a charge for the finish this year. I just don't have the drive to write anymore unlike the last 2 years. I'm probably going to spend next year's nanowrimo finishing this novel I started.

trancehime · « **Reply #114 on:** November 25, 2012, 11:19:45 PM »

Kindly admit that I need to bow out of this one as well.

It's a shame i couldn't make it, but i'm depressed as fuck and the workload isn't going to magically make itself disappear. :barf:

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #115 on:** November 26, 2012, 04:03:23 AM »

(less than) five days left for those still in the running!

[Y]oukai [J]esus · « **Reply #116 on:** November 26, 2012, 04:13:01 AM »

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #117 on:** November 30, 2012, 04:54:01 AM »

The final day begins around the world! Let's see who makes it over the finish line!

Not me, I really balled it up. I made a thirty day plan and everything.

I know how you feel, I went through the same thing. Felt like NaNo 2006 all over again.
