You might be questioning the sudden skyrocketing numbers in my NaNo wordcount.
Well...
I was explaining my dilemma to TheJazzPony about how I was falling behind, had 2 days left, and roughly 8000 words left to type out. Plus, I was running out of inspiration. I also mentioned the 4284 words I had written previous to NaNo.
So she suggested I re-type out all those words. Then I can honestly say I wrote all that for this NaNo.
So I did. I even wrote several hundred new words to extend some chapters and tweak some scenes. It was really, really easy. Which is good, because I would rather re-type what I wrote pre-NaNo than take yet another break from writing and fall even further behind.
So I did not cheat and just throw the words in, I actually rewrote stuff (even deleted and added new stuff), and so... yah... that's that.
I guess I'm back on track now. I would be very happy to exceed 50k this year, but we shall see what happens.

In other news, on my characters extra site, I am posting up a list of every name I have ever used in roleplay. At least, what I can gather from my characters' sites...
Some I can recall even without my characters' sites, like my charrie Dastan who was a cheetah, or my werewolf Donnie Darkstorm... among others. Usually names that I have reused several times are easy to recall.
It's a meticulous process, but I like to see what names I re-hash too many times *cough cough* Arteaux *cough*. As well as to just, I don't know, see what I've come up with. It's sort of cool. To me at least. I don't know. Yall probably think I'm weird.
Though it would be more weird if you didn't think that already...

Two NaNos in a row, I have done a blog post on the Hunger Games.

So, I'm up at the crack of dawn, less than 3 hours of sleep, and I'm just gonna have to deal with it.
She peed on my floor twice, pooped under my bed, then peed on my bed this morning. And we're talking lakes.
Lakes.
My whole room smells like freaking cat pee. WHY?
She does not realize how loved she is. Any other (sane) person would have gotten rid of her by now. Many times I want to. Heck, when I first moved here, she got REALLY territorial (wasn't used to the other two cats) so she would pee on my bed several times a day. I think I broke the drying machine with my comforter going through all those times.
So, this incident here is not that bad. It probably means she's going into her picky "change my litter twice a day" phase. (I hate that phase....) >. >

I finished my master list of character names (at least all the humans, animals and warrior cats still needs to be made). And A, S, M, and T are in the top four. A takes first place with 89. That's mostly because A is the first letter that comes up on baby name sites when I'm trying to get inspiration for character names.
I really don't have a favorite letter... but it seems that I need to give other letters more attention.
On another note, I have no Q names, which surprises me. Usually, I'm pretty good at having a character in each letter, I mean, take the last few letters of the alphabet that we typically don't touch: U, W, X, and Y. Maybe even throw O into the mix while we're at it.
O=9, U=5, W=6, X=3, and Y has 5.
Oh, what about V and Z? V has 23 and Z has 15.
For those uncommon letters, you would think I would have a Q name somewhere, but nope.
*cracks knuckles* Time to make a Q, I suppose...
That's why I like this list though. It shows me all I used before (including which names I repeated to death, like Aro Septimus Nox o.o ) and where I don't have a lot of characters, etc. I think it's cool.
So yah, that's my spiel.
