Picture  Perfect (picturesperfect) | 312 comments Guys, I'm falling behind. WAH!

I'm still at 12,012, and I can't seem to get myself to write or even do homework.

Ahhhh...

Then I went on NaNoWriMo to try to make myself feel better. So someone apparently has written 461 words. *self esteem slightly increases*

Then, I found someone who has written 84,421 words. *self esteem deflates*

Then, I found someone who has written 97,000 words. *self esteem explodes*

I JUST NEED TO PUT MY HANDS ON THE KEYBOARD! Oh, look, it's tumblr...

Question: What's a night of writing dangerously? Is it basically an all-nighter?

Yeah I think the idea is that you stay up all night writing.

Heh ... I should probably actually write something today. That would be a good idea.


message 174: by [deleted user] (new)

Okay. I might do that between Monday and Tuesday. The NaNo site says that, at this rate, I'll finish by the 23rd, but I want to see if I can pull it off before Thanksgiving.

Do eeet. :)

Well, a lot of them are side characters, but I think by the end at least 80 will have died, if not more. Especially because a huge battle will happen at the end :D
