I've very behind on my Nano.. about 3 days behind, in fact... *sigh*

Oh well. Write, write, write~

3 days is not very behind. Think of the poor people who have just started crying

*am glad I am not one of them*

True. I suppose it just depends on how many words you've put yourself to writing each day.

Yeah. I get distracted so easi--ohh, Shrek 2 *toddles off*

^^ But I do plan on writing as soon as my son goes to bed.

[radioactive alchemist]

I'm so bored. I don't feel like writing. I've gotten to the point in my story where I have no idea what's going to happen, plot-wise. And as it's set up right now, it's looking like the last little part that I actually did have planned isn't going to go as planned cry

Damn you Ty, for sneaking off like that! Scott was the one who was supposed to leave, later!

[oneia]

Just keep writing. Even if everyone needs to run into a brick wall and Ty shows up with a hidden passage and so on, and so on.... And then after you reached your goal, or finished the story, rewrite the things you don't like? surprised

But, who am I to suggest anything.. I'm dragging my heels in the mud because I'm writing about brother/sister interaction that HAS something to do with the storyline... but its nothing special. :/

Okay... grammar question... "neither of them were fantastic" or "neither of them was fantastic"? I'm not sure if neither or them is the subject... gonk (for a music paper)


Ooh, ooh, and I think I've settled on my new NaNo idea. It's terribly exciting... but I'm still fascinated by a book I'm reading on the tubes used as bomb shelters.

Eh. My past teacher said, "when in doubt, go with the last subject." I guess it's "neither of them were fantastic", and I'm pretty sure "them" is the subject.

I'm still at 3500 words, because I don't like my story line. ._. When I think about it, I don't really know what I'm writing about. At least with my last NaNo attempt, I had plans of a sort of existentialist surrealist take on a talking garbage can. I could always completely rewrite that story, but...it seems kind of...cheap. I'll just expand on the life of a side character, I guess.

Heh. I love your last NaNo idea...

And we went over this at the end of the year. It's "Neither of them was fantastic."
"Them" isn't the subject, it's an object of the preposition "of." When "Neither" is the subject, you use the singular form of the verb. English is insane like that.

I'm sorry. sweatdrop I feel like a grammar snob.

Naw. It's always good to know this sort of stuff. I never learned much grammar from teachers - only punctuation.

I had a lot of trouble writing the garbage can, because it could only hear things, and feel its surrounding temperature, as well as the waste dumped into it. It couldn't react to things, except think. It was like writing a stream-of-consciousness story without any action at all.

[Birdbrain]

wow. I am really far behind. Do not take the below word count seriously, I'm not that far behind. I have probably 10 pages of hand written stuff that I haven't typed. I think I'll work on that tomorrow though smile

[Sesshoru]

Bah, I've written nothing on my NaNo story since this whole thing started in June. Ever since I got my Bluetooth keyboard for my PDA, I've been writing a fanfic for Naruto involving a Naru/Kiba pairing. >_>;

[radioactive alchemist]

Well, I've been keeping up-to-date with my wordcount. mrgreen (just 705 a day!)

Aww...I've got both kitties asleep on my bed!

...oh, and Ty came back. He found a bottle with a message in it that had been washed up on the beach, but they're going to wait until morning to open it...and morning will also bring a nasty surprise. Bye-bye, boat!

[oneia]

Ooooh, radioactive, a stranded on the deserted island type of story? o.o Is it gonna be horror? surprised


As for the "neither of them was/were fantastic", it could just be my grammatical sloppiness, but "were fantastic" just SOUNDS a lot better to me. "was fantastic" would probably sound better, again to me, if it were used like "neither girl was fantastic".

Not horror, and it's not deserted wink It might be Atlantis, or it might not.
