Thank you, Ginger! I was so frustrated. And I kept hitting it again and again, like I thought the elevator was going to come faster. Which it did NOT.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

Because books.
I've heard this for years about the NaNo site. You think by now they'd have more bandwidth or better servers or ... whatever it is you need to make the site more manageable.

Good luck everybody!
I have a nice stack of idea, but nowhere near enough time. I'll be revising Cog, though. That's sort of writing.

not your mom's socks.
I may have just done write-in votes for some buffista books on the goodreads choice awards. That counts as NaNo, right?

Works for me; Ima count whatever I write for sstory or blogs as NaNoWriMo stuff -- I R REBEL.
I just want to get more writing in.

The idea is a nice one, but the vibe of Nano("Great job!" Group hug!) brings out all the Larry David in me."No hugging, no learning" I've got a project, though. Guess I'll put one foot in front of the other... so to speak.

Yeah, it's very "OMG, words! AWESOME!" but I need to make words appear, so...ok.
Buffistas are more reliable betas; you guys are all, Um, no. X is good, but Y is shitetastic. Try again!
Which is what a writer needs to improve a work. All positive feedback, all the time is bullshit, and not helpful.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm in word vomit zero draft mode, so NaNo is perfect for me.
Oh, god, did that make sense? It makes sense in my head. You see what happens when I turn off the internal editor?

Oh, that's totally my misanthropic, Maheresque, issue. I don't expect you to have it. I just wondered if anyone else noticed. (although when he stands up and shouts "New Rule!" as if we should have our pads and pens out, I get jealous of the faith in yourself that must take. Which I don't have.)

Made perfect sense to me, -t!
