Let's make this an official statement

...I suck at NaNo. No really, I do. 

I suck like 7th day and barely 400 words - and I'm starting to wonder what possessed me when I thought that giving it a try might be a good idea. NaNo definitely doesn't help with my writer block. 
Well, at least I don't suck at sucking at NaNo. If you fail, better fail fuckin' epically, eh?

But then again, periods never helped, either, NaNo or not. Seriously, the damn things just kill my inspiration every fucking time. And it was painful, too. How could anyone consider that the symbol of their womanhood is a mystery for me. And a rather scary one, at that.
Oh, and I just found out that NO, I can't "write crap and not worry about editing". How do you guys even do that? Writing crap knowing you're writing crap and happily going on to write more crap? My brains just plain denies me that blessing. I need my words to feel right, otherwise I'll get stuck.

...So yeah, until now, NaNo has been an epic fail. I'm left considering dropping the fic and going back to having fun writing other stuff, rather than procrastinating to avoid what I should be writing for NaNo. I guess I'll wait until next week to see if I can manage a wordcount a little less pathetic. 
And now, back to procrastinating! Screw you, guilt. Writing should not be such a chore anyway.

How do you guys even do that? Writing crap knowing you're writing crap and happily going on to write more crap?
Can't speak for everyone but for me, last year was "to get that crap out of my system, now, so I can stop thinking about it once it's over and do something else next month";
this year it's "write - just write - it won't be that crappier than usual and you can still edit it next month".

...Yeah, I guess I can imagine how it feels like.
(BTW YOU'RE DOING GREAT ON THIS MONTH LADY. I'M ALL SQUEE-ING FOR YOU. EVEN THOUGH FMA DOESN'T INTERESTS ME THAT MUCH.)

I kinda wish I was that obsessed with my NaNo-fic. >__>

I won't be doing so great for the remaining weeks but thanks all the same!

Good luck for your own fic. Write what you want, and as pwassonne says, if the NaNo format is just not your thing, find another way to write to your heart's content?
