5.4 and odd, and I realized suddendly how silly it is to have my MC lock herself in a deposit... obviously it locks from the outside, not the inside. Now I have a plothole as big as a house.

Mine's Requiem.
Question for y'all: How many people that you know are you incorporating into characters in your story? That includes yourself..

I sort of want to give up, I'm undecided. There's two major exams coming up and I'm really not sure that I can keep up with everything...
Mine's Icey, add me with you want =P. But I might give up soon.
In answer to Req's question:
Shade is like Me
Agnes is Precilla
Oscar is Matthew
Vanessa is Melissa
Victor is Victor
Well so far, anyways. Probably'll be more later. I always include people from real life into stories...
What's the names of everyone's main characters? 'Cause I like names =P
EDIT: I'm giving up! I can't really do anymore, I'm braindead. Plus, I've got three major exams coming up (Civics, Math, History of Music) and I really need to pick up the pace. Good luck everyone =). I might do this next year, because I won't have Civics or History of Music.

Aww, no Icey! Stick with it! -pep rally-
Anyway, in answer to my own question...
Alessa/Nier (my MC) is like me
Penne is like Kat, my best friend
Celeste is my drama teacher..
A bunch of moronic guys in my gym class have been transformed into Kema, Nayelle, Terra, and Kaycee, a group of nasty girls who torment Nier.
and there will be characters for Triza (Forest Majesty) and Liv, somewhere along the line. And maybe some others..

Try not to give up, Divine. Sure, you may have 50,000 words at the end of November, but at least you gave it a try. Try making it something fun, not something that causes you stress. 
Today didn't go very smoothly for me. I'm only just now finishing up my writing for the day, and usually I've stopped much earlier. I just had a difficult time transitioning from one part of the story to the next. I'm getting closer to the real meat of it, and I think that's terrifying me.
My word count it up to 16,484. Hopefully having all weekend to think (not write) will help give me some good ideas so it will flow much easier on Monday.
Oh yeah, my name is MyleneFarmer over at NaNo as well. Feel free to add me if you like.

I'm in deep trouble. I had to delete a whoopping 500 words because of the plot hole, and now I've changed deeply the plot, a new character popped out and danced in front of my eyes the new character jig: "Name me, give me a reason to exist, give me a past, give me a part in the story, give me a description, change everything just because I exist!"
*curses character silently*
Icey, don't give up!
Req... hm, my brother is the monkey in the novel, does that count?

Yes, I'm now deciding not to give up.
...indecisiveness is a big part of my personality
.
I'm going to write on paper. When I do it on computer I can't concentrate and I'll stare at the screen for like half an hour writing about 200 words.

Mleeehaw. Having trouble about how a chicken farmer can convince a 17 year old girl that she isn't hallucenating and actually did just change into a completely magical world.
4010 words, not doing so great.

I wrote 500 words when I was volunteer XD!!
Hopefully I can start easier now.
Matt, I added you =P.

For Req:
My MC, Andrea, is me, sort of. We're both manic, obsessive, and socially inept. We're also both in love with Keiran, known in real life as Ari. Ben is my friend Jonathan, and Luna (named after Ari's ex-girlfriend, incidentally) is some combination of Leora and Sarah.
I'm at 10006 as of last night and hope to add another 2 or 3k today.

I need, like, 2000 words tonight to be to schedule.
grr.
My MCs (two of em) are both too out of this world to be like anyone. None of my secondary characters are normal either.
I need to finish the radiation chapter and get on to the UN.
do not try to understand that.
Tested there, as well.
Now I will take the opportunity to share advice with you that no one else will, because that is just the sort of thing a good author can do: intertwine many pointless topics into an even more pointless tapestry of doom and peril. I will share this to you in the form of advice as quoted by The Hero’s mother. I will share you the full version and a shorter version that sums up the entire thing very shortly:
“Clones are not the wishfully energetic AIs lost lest jobs used so that greater evils taint all ludicrous orders never gotten.”
And, the version with only the first letters of each word:
“Can’t we all just get along?”

I started off today at 150 words. I have finally decided that this isn't a job or a chore, it's a game, a relaxing game. All I have to do is play it and have a laugh while I do. Im working up to 1k.

I only have a couple thousand. It's on the other computer and I don't want to go look it up. But around 2,000 and my plot is bad. I don't know how to continue it. I think I'll just spend all day Sunday writing something new. I don't write unless I'm on my computer, because I have problems trying to write in a notebook. I give up when I use a notebook.
