Yeah. This is why I don't always comment.
Well technically I put down 5 words then deleted the document and went to bed frustrated.
Darcy has managed to keep up with mine and stay on track with hers!
Dude, you wasted five words! The point of nano is that it doesn't have to be good (hell, it ISN'T) - it just has to exist. Write garbage that makes no sense! That's what most people do.
word count for comics, and those five words weren't up to my standards
because i knew they weren't the words I wanted, they weren't even that
close, but I couldn't get the words I wanted out of my brain. That
being the case writing further words was only an exercise in futility
and I quit. I would only end up rewriting it from scratch anyways.
Don't worry I will write this, just not in a month. I'm not capable of
that Nikki. I can barely read a 50k word story in a month.
To the point where they were changing the meaning of what I wanted to
say. and it wasn't even so much that they were the wrong words it was
that I had the right words on the tip of my tongue, metaphorically
speaking. Writing any further would have been beyond pointless. It
was making me angry, and I quit.
The only good reason to do it 'RIGHT NOW!' is for the community of
other people doing it, but I actively avoid that community(whatever,
Im anti-social) that is a counter productive reason for me to do it
now. I'll work on it later, and you'll still be there to bug me about
it anyways probably even more then you will now because you won't be
so busy writing and interacting with the nanos. So yeah I got no good
reason to do it atm so I'll go do other stuff because I have good
motivations for that.
sounds like basically my definition of a nightmare. as for irc I never
liked that. after you get more then 3 other people I completely am
unable to keep up with anything.
situations is that everyone else pairs off into groups and I end up feeling
unwelcome. Its not necessarily something they are doing intentionally, not
that it helps. Probably because in the five minutes it took you to stop
being strangers with everyone else, I'm still completely shell shocked and
awkward for another half hour or more.
Of course whats even worse then not getting included is when someone goes
out of their way to include me as some elaborate act of charity. Because
then I come of as the jerk, because I'm not able to hide how offended I am
at being labeled as a charity case, by some stupid airhead woman. (and it
is always a stupid air head woman.)
There's also the fact that I find 90+% of everyone I've ever met to have
been incredibly boring, if I'm really honest its probably closer to 99%. I
have no real interest in meeting the kind of people who need a construct
like Nanowrimo to be creative. I'm really only interested in talking to
people who try to be creative the other 11 months in the year. And while
those people may be at the meetings, I have no interest in trying to
separate them from the loons that only do it because they love the event
itself.
And, I dunno, I don't think I've ever met a boring person before, o.o *shrugs*
