Believe it or not, I find I get stuck for words when trying to create a story on the computer. It was quicker, strangely enough, to write by hand and let the words flow and then type without having to think so much into the computer.

I believe there is a special feeling in writing or even drawing by hand.
It give the writings and art more emotions...

I do like hand writing, but I find that typing, I can get my thoughts out a bit faster - even then I sometimes loose ideas because they go too fast.

Yep, there is this one problem.
Speed.
I can't type as fast as I think too... let alone write it. If you master touch typing, I don't think many people can write as fast as typing, and AS tidily.

But as mention, I do like hand crafted things. Feels more original.

The only reason I type it at all is for word count purposes. :)

heh... XD
Good in writing, detest counting.

You know, all those word count limits during my school year is bothersome for my whole class.
Most of them worry they could not achieve the word count, I am one of the few that worry that I will overshoot...
It makes me kinda sad when I have to cut a few sentences to make the word count good.

I never worried much about word count limits until I got to uni where if you are under or over by 10% in writing an essay or other assignment you'd get penalised.

Can I take that meaning you are targeting more than 50k in this year nano?
Don't recall that I ask that question before...

It's possible, I did it this summer when I attempted Camp Nano - I managed 10k in 2 days.
And I'm not - I've got WAY too much on my plate to go for more than 50k. xD

What is the difference between Camp Nano with November Nano? Other than, of course the time and weather/season change...

Too much? as in too busy or... story not long enough? XD

Camp NaNo is during the summer.

And too much as in I'm taking a full load of classes -- 13 units -- I have clubs, pride days, my birthday, thanksgiving, brother coming home for a few days. Friends who don't understand that NaNo means I disappear for 30 days and coming up for air for my birthday isn't an option.... Like when I too much else... I literally mean I'm doing all of that on top of writing 50k...

Is the NaNo website down for anyone else? I haven't been able to get on it all day.

The front page notice says that it's in maintenance, but it's taking my laptop several tries to load it, so I'm wondering if their servers are simply being bombarded by all the participants.

I think it is the latter.
XD
I have loading issues too, with error 502, bad gateway.. kind of message.
I am not really affected from the site being down... but lol, I really like to visit their appellation station to look up for names. and the reference desk is interesting, rather amusing too, very informative.

It's working now, at least it is for me. Kinda slow but it is loading.

And I've definitely mostly lost my voice today.... plus I slept through both my classes... oops! Guess my body was telling me I needed sleep. >.<
