Okay this is basically a rip off from the "Only reply if..." game. Y'know someone puts forward a statement and you can only reply if it's true about you. E.g. Only reply if you are female. So male's can't reply to that comment. Etc.

So, in the spirit of prompts, this is the writing version! If the statement is true, you must write 250 words and leave a statement for the next person.

Sound good? I'll start. I'll make it an easy one.

Write 250 words if you are behind on your word count.

Two hundred and fifty words about why I am behind on my word count. Well first of all I am a teeny tiny bit od a lazy bum. But this morning was the last straw. My computer screen was all black. Not just black but really dim. I caould barley read anything. I had not done anything to it. The computer was working and I even tried turning the whole thing on and off. I re started it and you know what? Nothing happened. It stayed the same. Then after about two and a half hours it suddenly popped into the way it looks now. Normal. Yeaa I was so happy. But the thing is almost four years old this month. The twenty third to be exact.

Well i could try to tell you that I have two kids, one is a boy and the other is a girl. I have one of each and they are seven and eight years old. Man this is hard. I have to write a bunch of words about why I am a big fat lazy doofus. Maybe I could tell you about what was on tv last night, but I did go to a write in at round table pizza pizza was word 207 I am almost done, but after this I really need to get off my big fat lazy butt and get back to my novel. By the way why are you reading this? Should you not be working on you novel?

GET BACK TO WORK!!!!

NOW 250 WORDS ON WHY YOU STARTED NANOWRIMO

Well, I guess I'm writing 500 words already...good thing I haven't gotten to the scenes where tons of people die. I guess I also owe 250 for listening to music in the background and for not having a happy ending. Time to write 1,000 words! Great idea, by the way. :)

Write 250 words if...you're writing your novel in a first-person point of view.
