I don't have a plot-
My characters think I suck,
I just want to cry.

Everyone but me-
Has a very high word count,
Tell me why I suck.

I hate distractions-
But I get distracted-ed ,
Instead of writing.

(Illegal use of added syllable. I know. But, it's nano season; that's not something to care about.)

Instead of writing-
My really sucky nano,
I'm writing haikus.

Caffeine is my friend-
My plot bunnies got eated,
I'm left with no words.

Logic has no place
In this tale anything goes
But why a dragon?

Yeah. My story ran away from me. o.O

As the macros say
all across the World Wide Web:
I IS MADE OF SUCK.

Old ladies and tea
flirting, school, and coffee shops:
You call this sci-fi?!

I dragged my mom in;
now she's doing NaNo too.
GOD! What have I DONE?

4:30 p.m.,
haven't typed a single word:
Stalling with haiku.

Forums, Nintendo,
TV, haiku, AIM:
I procrastinate.

And a haiku to each of my main characters:

London, how did you
End up with that absurd name?
Can't you just be "Jane"?

Sawyer, you're a jerk.
Were you a side character,
I'd just kill you off.

Sammi. Listen up.
I know that you're not British
So what's with the tea?

Poor sweet Tallulah.
I know that you've had it rough.
Love you, robot girl.

The Suck Haiku Thread,
my home here on the forums.
Oh, how I've missed you.

The haunting spectre
of my other commitments
eats up my resolve,

discouraging me
and making me succumb to
procrastination.

I should stop writing these
and devote my attention
to my poor novel.

Characters are evil
They will not act well today
Please someone help me.

The chocolate's gone.
Treat-o-rama where are you?
It's only day four.

Perhaps a quick trip
for Snickers and Oreos
is the wisest course.

Main Character, please
Develop a spine. Oh, and
personality.

Plot holes all over.
Random scenes not making sense.

pulled an all-nighter
to not fail philosophy;
ready to puke blood

no brainpower left
for the poor misbegotten
novel idea

I want my soul back
even the food is weeping
I am in despair.

I have not written crap
This bad since I was sixteen.
Twenty-seven now.

My wordcount is fine.
But what a mess to clean up
when December comes.

It will probably
take until NEXT December
to make it suck less.

I think you suck the most, dear
I truly hate you

Byron, Drusilla,
Clarence. Two-dimensional

cloudy skies, social outings
Equals lazy me

Writing five days in
So easily distracted
Words come but slowly

I bring the winds to free you from your hesitation
I call the storm to remind you what you are
My faith endures for the sake of something less and more in them
And so I bring the winds to echo in your heart.

The word count on my-
Haikus is bigger,
Than in my novel.

My word count thinks I-
Should just drop dead instead of,
Trying to win this.

I get distracted-
Easily. That is why I'm,
Writing haikus now.

Screw getting any-
Sleep. All you can do is write,
I miss my warm bed.

It's cold in my house-
There is a crack on my wall,
So I'm not writing.

I think I might kill-
My boyfriend for wanting to,
Talk in November.

But my word count is way up
Suffering pays off

Has a siggie line
In it quoted Cruxshadows
But does not appear

I can't figure out
The inciting incident
MCs hem and haw.

Never saw this thread...
The suck haiku are spiffy
But the sucking hurts.

16K last year
Like 9K so far this year
Doubt I can keep up.

My plot is so weird:
A geocaching thriller
Why DB Cooper?

LoneThread, that was the best haiku I've ever seen. *worships*

I should be in bed,
I'm three thousand words behind,
Give me chocolate. Now.

I wish I had some
Soda. I wish I'd eaten
Dinner. Writing now.

Procrastinating.
Haiku is so much fun here.
I should be writing.
