So.
This is a life goal.
But I've tried this already and failed miserably both times, once was semi official even if I didn't register and the other time was with Tossing Grenades at Windmills earlier this year and I have been stuck stuck stuck stuck stuck on chapter 12 for months taking victory in working on a few words (emphasis) WORDS a day.
Nanowrimo is 50000 in one month. Assuming at least 5 bad days, that's 25 good days at 2000 words each. 2000 words is something that I have written in an hour....
But...
BUT
The first time was so bad (as in the quality of the work) I actually stopped and wrote seven extra pages just murdering my characters again and again in different ways
The second time was much better but Grenademan is my Mickey Mouse....he is FUN to write and chapter 12 is KILLING me....granted, I'm following a script rather than going where my imagination takes me but...
I had hoped to have everything planned out....right now I have just one of three main lines vaguely mapped out with delusions of a second (Really, who REALLY wants to read about a psychopathic vigilante mouse?...maybe if it actually was Mickey Mouse with a stiletto....) and a title...and a vague tie in to a rather interesting french philosopher who liked titles.
I am unemployed at the moment which is draining and even if I get a job there will be no fuel of reserve. And even though I have writing fans, this just won't FEEL the same as GMVZ....
So ...
I'm insane.
This will likely fail.
We're still going to an event this sunday and I'm likely registering on the site.
