Also Kirin, yeah, I've got loads of gold at the moment for some reason, so I'm probably gonna spend it all on commons.
I don't know, I guess I'm kind of intimidated by it?
Also I never have thought my stories were good enough. Like I love my original characters (like Kitami) but full stories get away from me.

The thing about NaNo is that your story doesn't need to be good! The idea is just to write, and get into the habit of writing.
And remember what Terry Pratchett always said (GNU)

For some reason I thought it was against the rules to plan; I thought you had to wing it? Or at least wait to draft/plan until November... >_>;;

Nope! Some people don't like to plan but those people are being silly if you ask me. The whole thing is much easier with a plan.

Well, I'll definitely try it next year. I'd maybe try this time except my laptop still has this frustrating overheating issue. Sometimes it just turns off. I would be so frustrated if I lost progress and I'd be saving the draft every 5 seconds out of paranoia. I think I'll have a new laptop by next fall.

Thanks for that Shad (can I call you Shad? You can call me Kita. )
I've somehow never used google docs for anything. XD

I've had this laptop since February of 2011; I think its on its last legs and then I manage to keep it up.

I definitely need to upgrade. I'm kind of attached to this laptop because it was like the last thing my grandpa bought me, but it really does have a couple major problems and I just want a lighter one honestly for college.
Oh that's neat. I've never met anyone else who has a Kitami!
My Kitami has been a character of mine since I was 12. My friend group got really into anime and we all made a character up. I actually thought I was making up the name at the time because I knew basically nothing of Japan at the beginning, and my character was a kitsune so Kitami 1)sounded like kitsune 2)sounded Japanese and 3)sounded cute to me.

technically Kitami is my best friends character. we've been writing a book together for years. gosh i don't even know how old we were when we started. probably around there. she's also a kitsune.. sorta... She's a shapeshifter but she likes to have cat ears on. xD and of course she was into anime as well around then. way more than i was.

she pulled in the sci fi anime stuff to the story, andi pulled in the mystery and the fantasy. its turning into a really interesting book

er.. rather a series of books.. universe.. we've written alot...

I access their forum and even get to read other people's post. I think... last year I am still able to do it.
Now, I can still see the subforums, but could not enter to see the list of threads.
I always love to read the Appellation and World Building.

Long can barely remember her password long enough to log in. XD
Doesn't help much that I have two main usernames and I'm using the shortened version of the other on Nano.
I think I've only ever used it for logging in word counts before. But I also was mobile only last year so that caused it's own host of issues.
