Rambling: NaNoWriMo...

[buttononthetop]

Happy Halloween my darlings!

So... just a few more hours to sign up for NaNo and I just can't make up my mind!! It's very (extremely tremendously exceedingly) likely that I won't make the 50,000 words. Not that it really matters, it's not like someone comes to your house an tattoos "I'm a NaNo Loser" on your forehead if you don't make it! It's just that I'm an agonizer – I write a few paragraphs, I read them over, I edit, I look for that perfect word, I fiddle, I research, then I write a few more paragraphs – all the things NaNo doesn't stand for, LOL.

Part of me feels like I should give it another shot (I tried once in the LJ June WriMo and failed spectacularly).
Part of me feels like it would just be a waste of time and add stress to my already cranky-making RL.
Part of me feels like it would be really fun and satisfying to finish.
Part of me feels like it messes with my writing and makes me write badly.
And yet another part of me feels that, even if I fail, it would be a great exercise to loosen up the control freak that lives inside my head…

So… I'm torn…

What do y'all think? Will you laugh and point when I fail? *wink* And just one last question – who's brilliant idea was it to have this thing during November sweeps??? *giggle* Yeah, yeah, my life is ruled by the idiot box, I know, I know… :)

Hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween!
Enjoy the sugarbuzz!!

I've signed up but like you I re-read and re-write, amending words until the piece is ready, and researching anything I'm not certain about, and that happens be it a 500 word piece (like that ever happens) or a 15000 word piece. The thought of writing and not editing and re-reading/writing as I go already has my fingers itching in concern.

So I promise not to laugh because I know I'll be going through the same thing.

If you do decide to do it good luck :)

OMG share a brain! I do all those things, LOL. Now I just have to see if I can do them all at the end instead of as I go. *hugs* Good luck to you! Feel free to cry on my shoulder if you need to and I'll do the same! ;)

Thanks!

Do you want to buddy me? I'm here http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/678206

I've written 10000 words so far and I've resisted the urge to go back and edit (sort of!). I did succumb to a little bit of research though, had to look into Pine Martens.
