I just noticed that I try to make everything into...
I was scrolling down through my NaNo writing to find where I left off and I started noticing all of the red underlines (spelling errors) and most of them were two word nouns that I had attempted to make into one word… Like bunk beds, bar stools, litter box, water bottle.
Maybe separating them will help my word count? lol.

planb-becomeapirate asked: I had a similar problem with the immaturity thing and what I did was age the characters mentally in my head. It forced me to write them older on paper. My reasoning is if they're supposed to be 22 and acting 16, if I make them 30, they'll act 25. It worked to a degree. Good luck!

I think my main character needs a cat.
I know, I know. I’ve already mentioned my problem with editing my first few chapters too often… and this means I’ll have to backtrack again. But as I went to bed last night I started thinking about it and I hardly ever write my characters to have pets. Which is weird because my pets are one of the most important parts of my life, and almost everyone else I know has them. Hell, I...

Guys, I am dying trying to do NaNo without a...
I’m having so much trouble focusing while tied to my desk, especially at times like these when Cj went to bed and I’m not quite tired yet but I’d love to be able to go lay down and still be able to write… buhhhh. Hopefully if my mom has power tomorrow I can use her charger at work, but I’m gonna have to get to an Apple store before the month is over, definitely!

I finally got around to typing out my synopsis on...
