Permaplasmaticmorticians for whatever I end up writing. ;)
It's obviously very obvious... Obviously.

Permapermissionperfume or whatever on all of my Nanoisms.
A lovely Nanoism which I just found.
Riiight. I don't know what my trail of thought was anymore, but I'm just so happy that my characters best friend was doing Nano. Why she'd be thinking of this when she's dieing of hunger in a dungeon, though, I do not know.
And of course, I don't know how sentences are supposed to fall out of her head.

Perma russel simmons and all that jazz.
This first one was actually ALMOST typed in a facebook conversation to my friend Bradley. Please note, I was watching Zombie Strippers at the time:
I totally meant 'writing really hard.'
I was still watching Zombie Strippers (stupid, stupid) when I started working on my story again:
Stupid movie...
Even in context, it doesn't make any sense.
This same character says the word 'yeah' about five more times in this paragraph.
I think the death is too much to bear.
I don't know, my fingers just spazzed out on me here.
And that's just from the first 8K, so I'm expecting many more!

Funnier was my brother's comment: "Don't leave out words, you need 50k! You should write: 'It is very very very dark down there. Really.'" ----------
Motivation: high, but soooo tired
Tea cups: lost count... about 50?
Best line so far: “I still believe in happy endings.”

I decided to share the opening scene with my writing group and it definitely showed that my inner editor is well and truly chained in the yard...
The place was getting noisier and looking more like the greenhouse of a rouge botonist every moment. “Lets's get out of here, go someplace quieter.”
Welllll... I have no idea what a "botonist" is or how rouge would play into it, but that was supposed to say rogue botanist. And I'm not sure how that extra "s" got in let's.

It was the pain of a man with no job, a pain that was so painful that the pain itself was experiencing pain. Well, that's what they felt like, anyway, and you know how over dramatic English majors get.
Heh.

"Grayson tipped his head over to glare at her."
That sounds rather painful... unless he was somehow decapitated within the last thousand words and no one saw fit to tell me.

Today, first one's from Horatio. He was supposed to be drying off. instead here is what i typed:
After frying off, Horatio wrapped the towel around his waist where he pulled a pair of boxers out of his dresser drawer before stepping into them.

First nanoism ever....at least the first one that's made me really laugh.
With the same care that he had shown from the start, he wrapped the bandage around her wand, tying it off tightly.
....I may have watched too much Harry Potter today.
(For the record, I wasn't sure whether to write "wrist" or "hand"....so we ended up with a hybrid of the two :P)

This was in an assignment for school:
Actually he was in a rival MAFIA group (augh, I just typoed that as 'magia'! Do I have magic on the brain...?). This story is set in the real world, so no magic. Or 'magio', whatever that is...

I was just rereading through what I wrote yesterday and came across this.
Desta casually examined her nails. She smirked; the ball was in her court now. “I have it on good authority that you like that Jessica chick from the cheerleading squad. I also know you wanted to get her a gift for her a nice, shiny, expensive gift for her sixteenth birthday...

What, do you have little eyelash-warmers, or perhaps some kind of eyepatch? Or, perhaps more likely, you meant that you kept them closed?
Ah, dear. It's only the second day and I've already hit my first NaNoism. More to come, I'm sure.

This isn't from my novel but while trying to actually write my novel yesterday, I came up with this little gem in the process of downing a 2 liter of cola in an eight hour time span. Why Captain Planet was in my head, I have no idea whatsoever.

While procrastinating (I have started; I just don't have enough to justify going through the trouble of verifying yet...) and talking to my friend on IM about an incident that occurred on our post-Anime-Convention trick-or-treating trip, I came up with this:
"You know, I should've made you take my picture with those Red and Gold cosplayers that we met when we were trick-or-teating..."
Where kids go around the neighborhood and ask women to take their shirts off or suffer having their house egged and TP'ed. SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN-- I mean, that is not a good and legal thing for kids to be doing... *cough* *cough* Ahem.

I just re-opened my document after working on it earlier this morning. Mind you, I just got back home from a weekend where I tried jello shots for the first time in my life, slept in a very odd motel, and didn't get any real rest. This is one of many results.
“And she text messages in her sleep,” I reminded her. It was true. Fiona randomly sent text messages that said random things like I love you or la la la la la while she was sleeping. My favorite had been a text that said The trolls walk at midnight. I asked her about it the next morning and she had no idea what it meant, but it quickly became a running joke to use as a code for trouble.
Katie, dear, could you possibly randomly describe how random random might really be? Randomly? And tell me, was typing la la la la la a shameless attempt to up the word count? I expected better of you! Randomly!
And...um... "the trolls walk at midnight"? Yeah. I have no idea. Sleep deprivation and NaNoWriMo are always an interesting combination, but wow. And then, there was THIS gem:
“I’m trying to up the word count, duh,” Fiona said. “If I’m random enough, maybe the book will at least bee funny.”
Awesome. That one's gotta go, LOL. I shouldn't write while exhausted. And Fiona, bees aren't funny. They scare me. You may be funny, but you may not bee funny. Thanks.
So I changed that, because Fiona wasn't supposed to get all snarky there, and this is what happened next:
“I’m Googling my name to see what comes up,” Fiona said.
“Well, that’s certainly random,” Katie said.
We GET IT, Katie. Fiona is random. Please consult a dictionary (or Danielle) and learn a new word. Thank you. And this book is being narrated by you, so what's with the third person all of a sudden?
Head, meet Desk. Desk, Head. You're going to be getting to know each other very well in the next month.

"She's right," Meredith said. "So let's quietly switch POV and pretend that I started this conversation, because it'll make editing easier later on. Regan, everything's dead. There's nobody in the fields and I can't even sense any wildlife nearby."
Not only do these two write themselves, but apparently they edit themselves as well, now.

Smiling I put down my Jack, the only card that fussed me was the five which I relaised I did not have as Sophie misread her notes, well done on the fourth wall btw.
I don;t know what happened to that five either...
(the first bluff thing was rule one just add that in in Editing, damn there's the ofurth wall gone again)
APart form teh fact this was in the smae paragrah as my previous one, it actually makes no sense. I think it was meant to say the first rule was the bluff thing...
unless it's uno don't let people knwo you only have case.
Yeah, that made no sense, why did I type case instead of card? And I missed out a word...
And now for the naem changing!
Mel put down a double queen
Millie put down five and Olivia put a six down.
May went out
All meant to be the smae person... at least she kept the first letter the same unlike Tina who changed her name to Quita (is that even a name??)

Well aside from changing to 3rd person POV for a sentence or two before I notice it every 500 words or so, it hasn't been toooo bad. Yes, I've already posted in this thread. This one is a wee rebellion on the part of my FMC:
