Don't worry, people have asked that question before.:):):) She is a girl, and If I remember, her name is Hailey.:):):) I did NaNoWriMo, and I reached 17,800 something.:):):) I didn't reach my goal of 25,000, but I sure wrote a lot!:):):):):):):)

Hi. Don't run away. If you do, you'll never have courage. I learned what courage was when I slept without a night-light when I was three. Now you get out there and type that story as fast as you can!!!!!!!!!!!!Yell

Hi, Laura, are you new? If so, welcome to Chatterbox! Believe me, I was utterly confuzzled about NaNoWriMo when I first came to the site, too.

Even if you think that it's corny,(look it over very carefully-you'll probably find that it's not!:):):)), don't ever give up on it!:):):) Try not to go back and change the 'corny' parts right away-keep writing, and maybe the part you don't like will even out!:):):)

I did do NaNoWriMo for school, but I only got 13,000 words or so. Just curious, has anyone here actually gotten 50,000 words doing NaNoWriMo? If you have, congrats!

I DEFINITLY HATE MY WORK SOMETIMES!!! I know it is bad for your self-esteem or whatever, but sometimes I can't help but think: "Ugh, I hate this part and this part and I wrote an awful story," etc.  Thinking this gets on my nerves, though, so I usually stop. But yes, I completely understand your problem!!!!
