Um... yeah
Okay, I am officially quitting NaNoWriMo. Technically, it's not the 30th yet so I do have about 24 more hours to write but I'm so far behind it's not even funny and I'm kinda sick of looking at the story, so yeah, stopping sounds good.
I don't even feel that bad about quitting, which is terrible because I hate not following through on decisions. Actually, I feel worse that I don't feel guiltier about it, but truthfully, I didn't try as hard as I should have so this was pretty much to be expected. In any case, I probably will eventually finish the story if only because I want the thinly disguised excuse to write the totally messed up love triangle between Iruka's parents and Kakashi's dad (which isn't really a triangle since they're both in love with him and each other... yes, I know I'm a freak) that sprang up from out of nowhere and killed the story so dead that I was forced to start a whole different one for my NaNo instead. You know what would have prevented this madness? An outline. I really need to learn to outline and stick with it.
And I know I should be working on some of my other works in progress as punishment/exchange for quitting, but I'm a slow writer and this month has left me trampled like a Walmart's shopper on Black Friday so I'm gonna go watch Shaolin Soccer instead.
