Cheating?
  Cheating bad!
  Yeah, I'm pretty awesome.
  Wait, you said cheating, right? What do you *mean* by cheating? What if cheating is a state of mind in which one would have to function without.....*blahblah*

So I was at the ticket office, selling football tickets. You know, boring. So I pull out my notebook and randomly write down what is going to happen in my novel. Then a scene popped into my head so I wrote down the dialogue.

...then I'm like, "*GASP* Wait! I'm cheating! I can't be writing now!!"

...still, I can't not use it at the same time. XD So I don't know what I'll do, not count it, have it but redo the dialogue. What? Ah well.


So are any of you guys cheating yet? Come on, it's not even a week to go!

I have an "incredibly detailed outline" for my prologue. "Incredibly detailed" Meaning of course almost completely written word for word but in outline form instead of paragraph. Oops. redface

I have the chorus to my lullaby/folk song/official song of Lethe.
It just kind of popped into my head and as I have part of the plot revolving around it I cannot exactly not use it.

I also have a couple of scenes written out from someone else's point of view. I am going to rewrite them from a different point of view but I am still going to look at them when I write the scene so that they match up because they are kind of major scenes. But in my defense I am writing a prequel and that kind of thing is to be expected right?

Maybe if you count having several projects planned so I can skip from one to another based on what I felt like writing that day? There is one story that I mean to work on that I am writing for now... but that was planned for, as I want to get it done during NaNo, and I was supposed to update yesterday but didn't redface Only what I write during November is going to count towards NaNo.

But you know, creativity often likes to break rules...
