Ways in which I boost my word count? #1 way: Dialouge! Though I write short stories and novels as well, my main writing base is comics. I'm used to reading and writing comics. In other words I am used to write straight dialouge, and nothing but dialouge. I can write dialouge for hours on end.

[quote=SR Castells]His face broke into a smile .[/quote] I don't know ... this one has me laughing. In my mind I'm seeing this guy who's face has just shattered like a broken mirror, and the pieces of glass are landing on the floor in the shape of a smilie face. LOL!

As far as I can tell through the spamming of unhappy baby pictures (very classy) his points are as follows[/quote] Thank you for pointing this sad depressed emo dude out... he must be emo, just look at all the depressing hatred his is spreading! eek! I'll be sure to stear clear of his blog in the future, as I only like to be...

As you know by now, NaNoWriMo has been offline for most of the week, only coming back online for an hour or two eacch day. Us NaNoers have been going crazy trying to find out what was wrong. At long last we have been given an answer from the creator of NaNoWriMo: Posted by: Chris Baty on 10/08/2007 Defeating the Slows Well, we spent the weekend tuning the database. Our work sped things up slightly, but not nearly enough to avoid the crippling case of The Slows that's been plaguing the site...

Alas I'm done with script frenzy. Having done NaNoWrimo before, Script Frenzy felt like an easier challenge.

I've fallen way behind with my NaNoWriMo novel, but last night I decided that I really couldn't give up, and calculated that I needed to write approximately 2.2k a day until the end of the month to finish.
