I never know if I should do NanoWrimo or not. I've never finished it, I've only participated while in college, and every time I did, it was to work on Ghost Hunters, a story about a group of high school students at a boarding school for the gifted out in the middle of nowhere, and their English teacher/adviser. They hunt ghosts! They also all speak in the same voice (mine!), and randomly angst out when I decide to hit word-count. Everything I've written for it (well, except for copious notes and sketches) is on that blogspot page.
Usually, during the middle of NanoWrimo, I end up dropping out because I get woefully behind due to university-related demands like homework, papers, and midterms.
If I did do it, I would continue to work on Ghost Hunters, as bad as it is. I have nothing else worked out in terms of a plot, or even an idea, and I still have lots of stuff I wanted to do with Ghost Hunters.
Writing is just....weird. I want to do it, and I want to get better at it, but even when I start out these NanoWrimos the last couple of years, or when I used to try short stories or emo high school poetry, I still always hated doing it, because with each word I wrote, I was fully aware of how much I suck. This is what happens when you have been an avid reader since the age of 6, and are extremely critical of the style of everything you read.
Anyway. Should I try and do it?
In terms of lol, my friend Jaci is writing a biography of my friend Gretchen, and I think I'm going to be in the story! I need to figure out what my biggest strength and weakness are.
