UPDATE:

Finally, A.C. has devoted herself to just one blog. She is very sorry for any inconveniences her indecisiveness may have caused, but she now runs the one, single, forever-staying blog Inkspot at inkspotwriter.blogspot.com. Feel free to check it out!

NaNoWriMo: Almost Over

By now, if you're participating in NaNoWriMo, you probably have lost all sanity in your mind where your characters rule your thoughts, day and night.  Day and night!  All that occupies your mind is this one thought.  "Almost over.  Almost over."




November 1, day one of NaNoWriMo:
Feeling confident and happy with your word count goal and your characters.  Everything is going according to plan, your characters and your plot are getting along nicely.  You have high hopes for November.






November 15, halfway into NaNoWriMo:
Your characters are a mess, you're sleep deprived, and quite frankly you don't know if your novel is going to turn out as you expected.




November 30, the last day of NaNoWriMo:
Your characters have gone somewhere, (you don't know where and whether they'll come back or not) mad at you for making them an empty shell, your plot is exactly like that movie you watched last weekend, and if you're real honest with yourself, you are absolutely ecstatic that it's almost over.






 December 1, no more NaNoWriMo:
You are so overjoyed that the torture is over, feeling like you've accomplished nothing in the past 30 days.  All the joy, the love, the happiness, and craziness the past month that you have deprived yourself of just flows out of you like the tears you shed when your main character wouldn't talk to you.  In other words... YOU ARE HAPPY!!!  And you don't care what people think of you. 
 




Hopefully this inspires you in the last days of November.  Most of all, remember the gif above.  It will inspire you to keep on .  Keep on for the craziness, people!  YOU CAN DO IT!!!

NaNoWriMo with guest character Ty Skyy

A Word 
From Ty Skyy, Main Character of Ty Skyy’s Guide To Life

Okay, listen up people. Some person told me that there was a big event happening where you write stuff on this website called NaNoWriMo (I think it stands for Navel NoRuns Wrinkle Monday. Something like that). You like, write a book in a month and all that (why on earth would you want to sit down long enough to do that?).
SO LISTEN UP PLAYAH! 
I got some info for you to use battling that ugly guy that whispers in the back of your head ‘You can’t do this! You can’t do ANYTHING!’ while his beard hair tickles your brain stem! First of all, GIVE INTO YOUR TEMPTATION! What do I do when I want to be inspired (I don’t write books or anything, but I need inspiration just like everyone else, okay?)? I eat stuff I’m not supposed to. I eat candy. Yeah, I said it. Mom, please don’t read this. In fact, if you’re reading this just stop right here and don’t read anymore cause there’s gonna be some pretty long held secrets being blown out (cause it’s the internet, and that’s what you do on the internet.).
Secondly, you shouldn’t be ashamed of someone reading over your shoulder. If they start to read over your shoulder, froggy them in the nose. Do you know what a froggy is? You make a fist like this:



Then you punch them in the nose. I call it a froggy because the person you punch makes this little face and goes CROOOOOOOOAK! 

So yeah. That helps.

So anyway, third thing and the very last and very important, if you don’t write, then you don’t win. Everybody wants to win. Those who don’t win are a losers. Do you want to be a loser? No, no one does. At least, I hope that’s your answer, cause it’s mine.
