Welcome! NaNo '09, like every other NaNo before it, is going to be one of those trying times in a WriMo's writing career. Why? No time to edit, less time to plan, and a whole month of rebelling characters, plot blocks, and time constraints!

Oh, it's going to be epic.

So, here I am, offering you a thread to vent your troubles. Scream, cry, tantrum, strangle the life out of your characters, and textfully bash your face against your keyboard. Repeatedly. We're not here to judge, we just want you to get your frustrations out of your system so you can effectively continue writing without the pent up rage. ^_^

We do have two small rules:

1. Keep the cursing to a minimum. PG-13 and all.
2. You are NOT allowed to comment on ANY venting. This is just to get it out of the author's system without fear of getting unwanted advice, criticism, or one-uppery. If you ARE looking for advice, I'm sure a thread will crop up for it. ^_^ Or MAKE one! <3


So, let the venting commence!

May those who accept their fate be granted Happiness

Not NaNo yet, but still....

SO MANY CHARTS AND MAPS TO MAKE!
SO MUCH PLOT TO FLESH OUT!
SO MUCH ANXIETY!


May those who defy their fate be granted Glory

Too many ideas! I don't know which ones to keep and which ones to throw out! D:
I still have no main story, no main characters, and no names. For anything, or anyone! UGH!!!

All I can hear is time running away from me, one tick at a time. D;

WHAT AM I THINKING?!?!

I have a programming class to teach, five classes to attend, a play to manage, supervising two homecoming teams, two team assignments, a robot to build, and a proposal for a microgravity experiment to finish! And to make matters worse, FINALS ARE THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER!

*Collapses in a heap of over dramatic tears*

If I don't win, you all know why. crying

Gahhh~!!! What do I do what do I do???? crying I've got all these cool characters, and a basic plot, but no way to piece it all together! *is killing herself with the planning phases*

Ack... I have only 10 days to figure out what the heck's going on with my favorite character?? gonk I can't even finish the rest of it because I have no clue what twist it's going to take! I have three plot ideas, and all of them sound sooo good and I can't decide. I have to have the end though, or else I might mess up the beginning! gonk

NaNo not in swing yet but... I shall throw my piece in as well!

HOLY JESUS. I have no clue where my plot will go, I don't even think I have a plot! I need more characters, I need names, I need places, I need a plot-line! I only have ten days to do all of these things! My computer has a virus and I don't know when I'll be able to type on it! *worryworryworryworryworry*
PostPosted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 6:35 pm


Ugh I have a plot and way more characters than needed, but I can't come up with names for any of my places! Also WHY MUST I HAVE AN OVERACTIVE IMAGINATION! I try to think of my NaNo story, but then plot bunnies for all of these Kradam AU fics pop into my head and won't leave me alone! Even when I try to write my Kradam fics, I END UP TRYING TO WRITE MY NaNo STORY INSTEAD! Ugh, my imagination must be a curse.

Nine days. Nine days for me.

*begins hyperventilating* And I can't kick myself into writing a decent outline. I keep procrastinating! *slams head into desk*

I hate my MC sooooo much, right now! After mapping out who and what my charas are, Lin decides to suddenly spring the fact that HE is a GIRL on me!
*sigh* Thankfully the Goddess of Life stepped in and explained things. ^_^
