I have a hard time trusting myself enough to walk faster.

Allergic to caffeine? What kind of reaction?

I have relatively good balance, but unfortunately bad balance runs in my family, so my balance goes to crap randomly. Luckily I've trained my balance a lot since I was a kid so I don't fall over o.o

My balance is pretty good. I'm just scared of droppin' the book.

It feels like a while since I last posted here...I'm surprised the topic is still balancing books on top of heads...

Mene has seemed rather slow lately. Did something happen like school starting or something?

For me I had been preoccupied with NaNoWriMo and other things.

I ended up writing just over 18,000 words for this year's NaNoWriMo attempt...so nowhere near a win, but I at least managed to achieve my minor goal of 10,000 words minimum, resulting in my best attempt so far. So I'm kind of proud despite being a tad disappointed.

It's all about understanding how significant your acheivements are to yourself. To be honest, when you think of it 18,000 words is a lot!

It is a solid effort for me. So I have definitely achieved a decent amount of words, in terms of quality, that's questionable...lol

It's more about encouraging people to write and express themselves through writing.

So basically it's to encourage writers to "fluff" their writing, and encourage them to increase their word count by describing the surroundings right?

It's not so much encouraging writing poorly, but the point is to switch off the internal editor that would otherwise fix this and that trying to word things perfectly while writing the first draft and let the creative process of writing take over for the month.

Oh gosh I could never do that. I always edit as I go for my poetry. If I don't it drives me nuts.

It is hard to do, so that's probably part of the reason why I didn't make the 50,000 words, I would go back and edit and correct spelling errors and things like that,

Spelling errors bug me the most @[email protected]
I get so irritated when I can't figure out how to spell a word... some English words just need to spell the way they sound!

Same here, I make every effort to use correct spelling and grammar. I cringe when I find out I've made a mistake. I'm quite hard on myself but when others make worse mistakes, especially in online posts or chats, it doesn't bother me too much.

The biggest problem I run into though, is that poetry runs a very specific form, and lines that don't meet that form drive me crazy. It's kinda funny because I was taught "don't edit while you're writing a poem because you'll think differently about it later", but I've always hated them the same no matter it a week or 2 years, the same lines drive me nuts

I don't think it would be school starting. Or at least, not in the US. I never heard of the school year end in December.
Most peeps have finals going on or going to have finals to look forward to before Christmas break cuts in.

Unless you mean college.
But I think the fall* courses end in December too?*
