I can't explain it any clearer but here's the gist of what I told my best friend Mew.
When it comes to my writing, I find that I cannot write things as smoothly as they come out in my head, no matter what I do. My RP posts are out of character when before they never used to be. I cannot seem to get the grasp of a character like I used to. I cannot seem to make my posts flow without overusing words and such. I used to be good with that, like, a human dictionary/thesaurus, and now it's all disappeared, replaced by nothing other than everyday slangauge and I hate it!
I couldn't even write Anne Rice fanfiction anymore if I tried, and believe me, I used to be one of the fucking best at that. Both Bernie and myself. So what happened? I don't know what the hell it was, and it wasn't the drugs I did when I was younger, because I used to write all through those times and I was perfectly fine. I don't think it's the antidepressants and antipsychotics and valium and shit, because even when I was off of them, I still had my trouble.
So how do you get the grasp of a character when you write fanfiction or roleplay? Because I need to retrain my mind to learn everything it's somehow forgotten. I can't keep stopping RP's with Mew because of this ailment of mine, and I can't keep scrapping my fanfictions and novels because of this, it's not fair to me. I have a ton of ideas that I would love to put out there, but it doesn't help when I cannot even write a character (original or pre-made) properly.
Ugh. I hate this. Am I the only one who's gone through something like this? It's like writer's block, only not. Help?

HOHMAN! I AM CURRENTLY SITTING AT 29,997!!!!!! THREE FUCKING WORDS AWAY FROM THIRTY THOUSAND! I AM SO FUCKING INCREDIBLE DUDE!
Never have I gotten this far with NaNoWriMo, or ANYTHING and I am so so so so so so so fucking proud of myself right now, I could kiss someone.
ETA; I just added three more words to even out my count.

So, I just hit 27, 258 now, and so far I have written one het sex scene, one gay sex scene and currently I have one character in the hospital with a serious skull fracture amongst other injuries, due to her and her boyfriend driving a motorbike while drunk. The boyfriend has the lesser of their injuries as he was holding onto the handle bars and did not get thrown like his girlfriend did.
I think she oughta die, because everyone knows writing a good, sad, funeral scene would make my word count rise faster than with another sex scene.
I also just realized my characters forgot to practice safe sex.
Oh well. It gives them, er, character! And could work out in the end if I need another panic-stricken character. I just don't feel like researching STD's. LOL.
How is everyone else coming along?

I've been spending the last few days sick as a dog, cranky as hell because I am sick as a dog, feverishly (literally, too) writing to up my word count...andreplyingtopersonalads
Anyway, back to NaNo progress and such... So far in my story, I have written one pr0n scene (het, not slash *shock*), had two characters have one flashback each and... no one has been killed off.
Yet.
ps; ![[info]](http://piktures.deadjournal.com/userinfo.gif) cheloya and I need to start having more word wars, mhmm.

So.. on the way home from the weekly NaNoWriMo write in, Evelyn ("Hauckston" on the NaNo forums) [I needed a ride and she offered] asked me my name and I told her and she just looked at me and was like 'You're my brother's daughter!' So.. that makes her my aunt?
I just stared at her in shock and kept going 'Oh my god, wow!' over and over because like... SMALL FRIGGEN WORLD MAN! I KNEW EVELYN LOOKED FAMILIAR!
You probably don't care, haha, but I couldn't just keep this to myself. It's amazing! What are the chances you know?
I totally just posted about it at the Hamilton NaNo forum.

12276 out of 50,000 = 37724 to go!
So far my back ups are on: GJ, Writely, Gmail, my HD and my domain. I've also come up with about six new ideas while waiting for my therapist last night! Gotta love boring waiting rooms.
After four days of not being able to write (lack of imagination, creativity, writer's block) once again, I'm doin' good! *hopes I don't jinx myself again*

I slept most of today (as usual) and woke up to having my mom not only piss drunk, but verbally abusive. She hasn't been like this in weeks so it hit me pretty hard. Anyway... enough of that.
In short, I totally failed at getting anything written until an hour ago when I managed to get in my daily count (finished with one minute to go until midnight, est). So finally Saturday's count is as follows:
9623 out of 50,000 = 40377 to go!
Here's to hoping my muse comes back and this gets easier. How's everyone else doing so far?

So... 7951 words now that I've been doing word wars with a girl, Faith, who IM'd me from the NaNo boards. Yay for random people. Ooh, and anyone reading this might find this bit of info to be helpful: I've been using this NaNo calendar to track my progress lately. It's nifty and helps me figure out where the hell I am with this whole word count thingie. xD
I fail at keeping track of it in my head or sommat shit.

Oooh I'm on a roll! I slept most of today--been feeling kinda under the weather lately--but when I woke up around ten to seven, I immediately set to work writing. Stopping only to check a fact on Wiki, get some information on a location and use Merriam-Webster.com, I managed to churn out 2001 words in forty minutes. 2001 plus where I left off at 4193 gives me a total of 6195 words. I need 50,000 by the end of the month which means only 43805 more to go! I can totally do this! =D
Now that I've had a one hour break to shower and eat, back I go to writing!
