This isn't just about my problem, you can all rant about your own.
I am seriously under word count, about 3 days at least!
Any help please?

I'm pretty sure we already have a thread for NaNo rants...


Just write a lot all at one time. I'm planning on writing 5k to 10k today (I'll probably end on 0k XD)

Remember that every little bit counts- if you have a really busy day, but are still under wordcount, the five or six hundred you can fit in is five or six hundred you don't have to write tomorrow. Wait until a weekend, or after you finish your homework, to catch up properly.

And if you're on a roll, milk it for all it's worth. If you're at three thousand, say, for a particular day and won't die if you stay up for another hour or so, type like the wind.
Graffiti is the most passionate form of literature there is.

Cheat like blazes!

Enter: little kid.

"What's that little kid doing there?"

"He's singing the song that never ends."

"The song that never ends?"

"Yes, it goes on and on, my friends!"

Enter: Musical stage.

Some people, started singing it, not knowing what it was. And they'll continue singing it, forever, just because this is the song that never ends. Yes, it goes on and on my friends! Some people, started singing it, not knowing what it was. And they'll continue singing it, forever, just because this is the song that never ends...

Repeat that until you get your desired word count. :)

Also, if your characters get drunk, "ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall" song is beautiful too. ^_^

...or you can just ignore me. XD

Yeah, I tried that, except it was coke and they were on a bus to summer camp, and they were discussing how many ounces of coke they would have all consumed by the time they got to fifty-something, and how much caffeine that would be...
