So, it's not coming easily....

Though it honestly should be. Well, maybe it's the absolutely humongous amount of words needed that's scaring me away, maybe it's just the things that have scared me away from writing up until now. I've considered using gimmicks like switching to the first person (something I never do), doing things that I know are derivative just to say I hit the word count. The truth is, I'm being pulled in a lot of directions in my mind and can't really react to it all very well. It's hard to describe here. But I've got two weeks to do it.

The whole "Harry Potter 7 in theaters this Friday" thing is distracting me. It shouldn't, but it is. Huh.

FUNNY FANFICTION SUMMARY OF THE DAY
I, a normal, MUGGLE, girl from 2010, am trapped in the year 1942, at Hogwarts. My constant companion is a deranged snake, and somehow Tom Riddle, who is so hot that I can't think straight, is suppose to fall in love with me...well, according to the snake.

Returning; a challenge

OK, here's how it's going to be. Halfway through Novel Writing Month, unable to secure a job interview, wasting away doing nothing all day.

This is inexcusable. So, with that, I'm back, writing on the internet and NaNoWriMo-ing with all this goddamn spare time.

I'll try to give a day-by-day account of my struggle to do a month's work in half that time with word count, salient details and a recommended song. Oh, and every day I'll post an amusing summary from the depths of fanfiction.net, because if I had any readership ever, I don't after my 4 month layoff, so I'm doing things that amuse me. And fanfiction amuses me. Ready? Got all that?

DOING IT!

FUNNY FANFICTION SUMMARY OF THE DAY:
What happens when a certain someone reveals their feelings for SpongeBob, but he just can't handle it?What will everyone else think? Is their love for each other forbidden? Bikini Bottom will never be the same. SpongeBob x Patrick, SpongeBob x Squidward.

Of all the series to graft agonized, forbidden love onto.... SpongeBob? Huh. Well, anyway:
