throwing in the towel at 20,563

Yeah so, I've given up on NaNo. It was getting boring, and I lost myself in the tangled maze my novel had become. I think perhaps it was the moment when I found myself preparing to insert the entire recipe for lazulus's coconut and cinnamon buns into the text, that I realised it was a lost cause. One day, maybe, I'll revisit it and attempt to hack my way through the briars and find something resembling the story. On the plus side, I won't be going on about it any more! (Yay).

I'm going away now to hibernate and read 'The Secret History'. Goodnight.

Ha! Yeah, I worked out fairly early on that people suddenly bursting into song was a Good Thing. But it's got to the point where even random copying and pasting off the internet isn't going to save it.

Good luck for the next 4 days or whatever it is.

heh. Also, large chunks of lectures and exposition? also a good thing. If you're desperate, make your characters have a sit-down story session or discuss a film/book!
