It's December 1st and I failed to cross the finish line. I did get a bit over 40K, but that's not the 50K I needed to finish NaNoWriMo. This year was just too busy. Of course it didn't help any that I didn't have a plot or an outline, or anything. And some writer's block and a bout of depression didn't help any. ... It's really damned hard to write when the little voices in the back of your mind are constantly informing you that you suck as a writer and there's no point continuing.
In the meantime I still can't really write anything. I'm trying to do something decent with the characters from the NaNo novel but there's not much going on there, and my TF Fics really aren't flowing any. It's to the point that I can't even edit my entry from last year. I'm hoping that I can get some kind of inspiration this month, or maybe in the new year.

Good job.
And stop trying to do something decent with the characters, if you can refrain: let them exercise their own free will. They might surprise you sometimes - goddess knows my head-charas do! - but if you have the time to write about them, let it come.
