[OMG! I get to start us off this year? Excellent!] So, oh great and wise world of NaNo, Why is it that every time I move the box of books on the floor out of the way I just kick it again the next time I pass by? Continue the discussion on Part 2 |

It is the law of Negative Moving, which states that if you move anything in order to avoid a negative effect, a negative effect precisely like the one you were trying to avoid will happen, adapted for the new location.
Example: you move a plate so it won't fall and break. The cup you placed on top falls and breaks.
Why does my music help me to write?

Your brain is clearly an elaborate processing machine that turns notes into letters, chords into words, and songs into chapters.
It's sort of like a giant food processor between your ears and your fingers. And also sort of not.
Who, in fact, actually wrote The Book of Love?

It's the pixies, Alex. They flow from the music to your fingers and onto the page (or screen). If you look really, really closely, you can see them lurking there.

The space-time continum is distorted in November so in order to correct the distortion you must wait at least 1billion 9hundred and sixty-seven days before November actually occurs.
What is it about caffine that makes writing easier?

All characters, muses, and plotbunnies love caffeine. When you have some in your system, it attracts all these, and they tell you what to write.
I'll keep it simple, with "why is the sky blue?"

Originally, it was blue to make John Lennon cry. Nobody's bothered to change the channel since then, because the Great Sky Remote has been lost beneath the Cosmic Sofa.

You left your phone in a phone booth where you stopped to try to gain entrance to the Ministry of Magic. Ironic, don't you think?
Why am I so easily distracted from what I'm supposed to be doing?
95,884 / 50,000
Okt 2, 2009 - 13 09
Because the things that are trying to get done are sending brainwaves in your direction. They don't really need to get done right away. Someone else will do them anyway if you don't do it, but they don't want to make you feel bad. Therefore, they just make you get distracted by shiny things.
Why am I on the forums when I have things to do?

Because there has been a nationwide shortage of muses since August. They say that by November 31st, all muses will come back.
Why has it been raining the entire week?

Because the rain isn't rain at all. The rain is really inspiration for your NaNo novel, and you're just too annoyed by the rain to see it as it really is.
Why haven't I eaten yet?

You don't forget. Little gremlins are sneaking into your suitcase and stealing your stuff. It goes to the same place that all your left socks go.
Where do my missing socks go, anyway?

You unconsciously donated it to a society of extremely shy, cold-footed gnomes. If you so much as think about them, they are too embarassed to accept the donation, though they need it, which is why you have to do it unconsciously. The only problem is, you don't remember doing it.

Barns are red do to them being apart of the level design of the world. People will be attracted by the color red since it stands out and are more likely to walk towards it. So in essence God is a level designer who wants you to walk by red barns, stop lights/signs, and grisly murder scenes.
Why is it that there are more woman in the world and yet there always seems to be an abundance of single men?

Because men are cloned and then replaced by their clones much more frequently than women in secret government facilities, and clones are incapable of normal social interaction.
Just why can't people fly, anyways? It's not fair...

Okt 2, 2009 - 19 38
People used to be able to fly. Then the government discovered that the people could use flying skills to overthrow the government, so the government took that skill away.
Where's my flying jetpack?

Jimmy Neutron escaped from the TV and stole it. (My brother is currently obsessed with that show, so that's the first thing that popped into my mind. XD)
Why can't the sky be turquoise? That's a prettier color.

It's underneath your bed, sushi.
Dang it! Double post.
The sky can't be turquoise because the fairies ran out of that shade of paint. They dumped it all in lakes. *sighs*
Why don't I have a water buffalo?

The Sock Monkeys kidnapped your water buffalo in an attempt to domesticate it. Unfortunately, their evil plot failed and your poor buffalo is now deformed beyond recognition. Sorry. =(

Because we live in a fast paced world and you'd never be able to keep up otherwise.
Why is it that you always run into people you want to impress when you're looking your worst and never when you're at your best?

Because they know you're trying to impress them. Therefore they send out radio brainwaves to control your brain before you try to impress them in order to tweak that brain matter of yours.

It's all about the ninjas. No, really. They just didn't want you to know.
Where does the light go when I flip the switch?

The light hides whenever you flip the switch because it's afraid of the dark. They have a long, painful history together... something about light's school lunch money and dark being a bully.
Why don't they make the whole airplane out of the same material as the little black box?

Because the makers of airplanes want you to be vulnerable to any natural disasters. Heck, if they had it their way, they'd make it so you'd be flying in the open!

Tiny little hedgehogs have moved into your lungs and airways, and are tickling/poking you with their spines. The only cure is to drink 20 glasses of chocolate sauce every day for a month.
Why do babies cry so much?
