Nanowrimo observations

[sollasollew11]

1. The letters emails of encouragement are almost worth signing up. It’s nice to be told by as many different strangers as possible that it’s ok if your story sucks. Sometimes, it’s even said in a generous, humorous manner. It’s helpful since I still haven’t been able to turn off that little voice in my head going, “OMG this is horrible. People will

I liked it when one of the emails was from an author I actually read (Jasper Fforde). The rest haven't made too much of an impact. I will say, however, that since you signed up last year and didn't write at all, every single word you've written so far this year is better than last year. Without having read your Nano, I cannot tell you what kind of fic you are writing, but based on your usual style, I'm willing to bet it's not bad fic.

There is nothing wrong with things being suddenly silent. It means you have peace when you procrastinate with a thesaurus.

You are under no obligation to write the whole 50k, so if you don't think you're going to get there, rather than be discouraged about it, how about setting yourself a goal you think you'll be able to manage? Take a look at what you've written so far and think about how much mileage you'll be able to get out of the plot. Does that help?

Now, tell that negative little voice in your head where to go, and write! Good luck! ^_^

Lolol it's all quantity over quality~~ (which is great lol, because the sense of accomplishment at the end is probably going to be the same regardless of how crap or good your fic is XD).

... And at the rate I'm going, I'm going to need to write five thousand words a day to make up for lost time ><.

As for stalker!Jin... he seems to have this Kame!radar on at all times to withing nanometers of distance. He's always sooo well aware of Kame's presence... which is lovely, yet kind of depressing at the same time because Kame rarely turns back to see it DDD:

BUT GOOD LUCK WITH NANO!!! YOU CAN DO IT! *cheers~*

UGH I like that lj just...isn't sending author notifications anymore. It's like lj is slowly and steadily dying :[

I BELIEVE IN YOU SOLLA. I'd send you inspiration emails except like...they'd be full of stuff like 'JIN IS REALLY HOT 'IMAGINE KAME AND JIN IN SCRUBS; JIN AS TURK THE SUPER CONFIDENT SURGEON, KAME THE STRESSED OUT HEAD NURSE WHO IS MORE COMPETENT THAN MOST OF THE DOCTORS' 'SO KT TURNED UP THE FILMING OF MS WHERE PIN WERE GUESTS. YOU KNOW AKAME HAD HOT DELICIOUS SWEATY SEX BACK STAGE
WITH YAMAPI WATCHING' 'KAME HAS THE ABILITY TO GO BACK IN TIME; DOES HE USE THIS POWER TO SAVE HIS DWINDLING FRIENDSHIP WITH JIN OR TO SAVE HIS OWN CAREER????'

...sobbing. My impressive skillz.

Jin is never going to be unaware of Kame. He’s never going to think of Kame’s presence as unimportant, whether in a good or a bad way Truer words were never said in the history of the universe. Especially the 'whether in a good way or a bad way' part. (although admittedly I haven't found anything particularly akakame-ish in BtR fancams. Maybe that's cause it took so much effort for me to pay attention of fancams...)

I have so much respect for ppl that could commit to NaNoWriMo. I don't think I could ever do it...
