I'm at 6,571 words right now, and I literally had to push myself to get there last night. Like doing 1.5k-ish words a day is getting super super difficult, and part of me feels like, even though I have a strong, unique concept, I might be pushing through too fast and speeding up things that should be slower because I don't want to get bored residing in one situation for too long. Does that even make sense?

I'm just a little flustered because here I have this fabulous story line and my inspiration is sort of plateauing already. I was really excited to start on my story, but now I'm beginning to question even like WHO I'm actually writing for. Like, am I writing for me? Do I hope to get this published? Am I just writing for views on deviantART? So many concerns, and they're not even centered around the plot line so I'm not getting anything done right now.

I'd adore being ahead of the game, and I think I might be able to push more words out this evening. But I don't want my writing to seem forced or rushed. Any ideas?

Indeed. That's why I've never finished anything. My ideas always go flat... sad

;w; My original ideas are so fantastic, but expanding on them this far is making them seem less than sparkly. And my mind keeps jumping to how I'm going to end the novel, whether I'm going to throw in a massive realistic twist or keep it as a sort of fictional fairy tale. Like how am I supposed to write the fourth chapter if I can't even think about what I should be writing right now? xD

Same here! surprised I'm like: conflict, solution. I never think of how I get to it in between. We need to find someone to help.

Too trueeee.. I love this forum. I'm always chattering about all this stuff to my non-writer friends and I think they're sick of it. xD

When taking on a major project, it is best to talk with other writers about it.

[Teacup Sheep]

I'm so behind.. 7,224 words now and I need to reach 10k by the end of the day..

[goozma]

Just squeaked to my goal today. I don't think I can keep up 3k days much longer.

[Venya Aven]

I got passed 10k YAY!!

[WHOAnellie]

I'm at a palsy 6.637 right now. And that's with me writing 2.6k today. I need to kick it into gear to make up for my lack of writing last week.

[Elfus Arianteus]

11,021!

Though it's a little inconvenient sometimes to write so late at night (It's 3:51 am here). Lost time due to daylight savings. I get to witness the change between days on NaNo. So it changed an hour earlier today.


My story is finally starting to pick up. The main character's a little emo. I wish she'd cheer up. :

[Eliza Rain]

Today I reached 11,500 words!

I'm excited about my story, even when I already know what happens. rofl
