| I get what you mean. I'm unsure of my WHOLE ending though and of a large part of my plot, kind of...I'm sure I could fix a good part of it but it still irritates me, I don't know what I'm going to do... Maybe I'll just write it during Nano and the ending will come to me? Doubt it! |

Well, on the bright side...if an ending doesn't come you'll just have to keep writing, in which case you'll be bound to get 50,000 words. ^_~ |

Aye. I've basically given up on figuring out my ending. XD I'm hoping intensely that it will come to me in the end rush of NaNo.
Oh, wow. Does everyone realize that it's the eighteenth? That's, what, thirteen days left? Thirteen! Under two weeks! *Dies* |

hah! oh gosh. I'm scared..... WHAT IF MY PLOT HAS NO ENDING!??!?!?! That would be mean to the reader. I hate books with 'to be continued's at the very end!

| Hmm, I think I'll have to give this one a shot. I don't know if I can do it, but it will be worth the effort. |

Okay, I've just signed up.
I have no idea at all what I'm going to write (no, not even a genre), and can't be bothered to even think about it right now. So, in short, no - I'm no where near ready  .
It's probably a good thing that I enjoy impulsive writing - although by the end, my novel probably won't make any sense, but what the hell  . |

I still haven't done any planning yet. I probably should now that I think about it. I just don't have any TIME!!! Arg....
But now I am devoted to creating a character about my friend Ian who got killed yesterday in a car accident. He was a such a crazy and positive person. So friendly too. He always knew just what to say. He should be a fun character to recreate. It'll be hard though. *sigh* I'm determined though. 
Good luck to eveyone else! Keep it up!  |

I'm sorry, yoha. But he sounds like he will indeed make a good character.
And...I've just about given up on outlining. Letting it all just come out in the writing from chapter eleven and on... |

Instrumental. I play the clarinet.
Hey! If I run out of plot I can just have a character have to do a major performance on an instrument and spent 5000 or so words panicking about it!

Now it's the 19th! AND I DON'T HAVE A PLOT!!! *major panickage* |

All this about endings! It took me about five minutes to work out my ending. Ooh, it's climatic ...
Anyway, my main plot problems are with the inbetweens, the sub-plots -- I have general points where cool stuff happens, but I'm not always sure how to write to get to those points. |

Yeah, I was worrying about the ending...
But I decided last night that I'll come up with it as I go, hoping the hype of my rising climax will bring a good show! (Did I just rhyme?)
This whole nano thing, its tough...I hope I actually finish it. |

Oh man oh man oh man!
I stupidly started a bleach fanfic two weeks ago (why? WHY?) And now I have to finish it before I start planning in depth or I'll never get anything done! *starts twitching*
I need to embark on a journey for a plot... Or at least for a clean empty head.
Twelve days to finish one thinga nd plan the next... Ak! |
