I wrote the first day of NaNo and got to 4.9k. I haven't written since then. Now it's November 4th and even if you go by the minimum word count, I'm behind. *headdesk* What's wrong with me? Why aren't I making NaNo more of a priority, like I've always done in the past? Anyone else having this problem? Join me in a scream of frustration, won't you? |

I'm screaming with you!!
I want to write everyday. If I could make a living writing I could, yet as soon as I sit down to write nothing comes to me and I think of 100 other things to go and do. I just want to enjoy nano again but I'm so far behind already. /end whinge

I've been pretty consistent so far, but I'm definitely feeling the pull to just quit or sleep or do anything else. I think it's just that kind of month. :) Also, it's still pretty early so we're not in the groove yet where I'm not used to writing that many words every day. That and the amount you did in one day probably is giving you an early feeling of burnout. You're not that far behind though. Just tack on an extra thousand words today and you'll be fine. ;) Or just amortize it out over the rest of the month. I figure I'll get over my funk if I just keep writing and break through the wall.

Urgh. I know what you mean.
I'm so tired after school now it takes me hours to knock out even a thousand words.
But I shall prevail. Hopefully.

I feel the same. I used to love Nanowrimo, used to look forward to it, used to love banging out a thousand words each hour, no problemo.
But not this fifth year. I just don't see the point to make Nano a priority, I know I can make it, I've done it four times, so why do I need to do this hard thing again?
I WANT to write, I LOVE to write, I dream about writing. But do I write? No, I go searching the internet to find old DOS-games to play and watch series on tv, anything but writing. Why?
Aaaaargh!

Last year, I made my goal 60k and that helped a lot. But this year I couldn't do that because I don't even know if I'll reach 50k, so like you said, I suspect part of the problem is that I know I can do 50k without a lot of trouble. I'm just like you - I want to write so much but I lack the discipline to do so.

I'm right there with you... got 5000 words in the first 2 days, and nothing since. :( I know what my story is and where it's going, it just won't come out, which makes it all the more frustrating!

I've been plugging away decently until tonight, when I sat down and... I'm just... TIRED. First day back at school after fall break and all that, but HONESTLY. I feel so unmotivated. I want to watch TV and doodle my MC instead of writing about him.
Doesn't help that I'm sitting here, staring at this scene, with no idea where it goes next. I KNEW I should have put something more than "stuff with Saul happens!" in my outline. A man with a gun. Ninjas. Clowns. Ian Woon. Anything.
And I don't want to just throw random stuff in because I don't NEED to, after five years of this I know darn well I can write solid plot during NaNo if I just get my butt in gear.
AAAAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGHHH.
why am I so lazy
