Hey everyone.

I hope most of you are past the halfway point, going into the final two weeks of NaNo.

Let's take a minute to share something about our stories. How weird have you gotten? Anything insane or amazing sneak into your writing?
Let's see...

In my story, working title: Purgatory, the main character has been completely alone from page 4 until page 102 (minus flashbacks). I finally introduced the second character, but she only speaks Icelandic (a language I don't know. Thank the gods for Google.)

The main character is convinced he is suffering in a coma dream, so being spoken to in a language he doesn't know is really throwing him for a loop.

OK, your turn!

no matter how hard i tried to prevent it, my MC became a POW and it kinda makes me sad because i know that there will be at least another 10-20K of the story that i really don't wanna write in there T_T.

This is the most fun I've had with my writing for years.

I love a character I was supposed to hate. I'm working up to a religious conversion (something I've never experienced myself - and would never have thought I would write.) and I'm trying to think of a way not to kill someone I have to. Also I'm so far away from the original plot I'm wondering how I'm ever going to get back.

Love it!
