They actually have NaNo at my school. I've never tried it, but I did wish I could, homework-related-guilt-free, go to one of the several-hour writing sessions here.
Life continues very rough. Story continues very stubborn. I have now got to the point where I need to tell Whitney's coming out story, and despite everyone's insistence that I don't actually need the story, just the leadup and the fallout, I still feel the need to actually write the thing. I don't know if I want to switch POV or maintain a dialogue setting, but I dont think it matters. I'll write whatever comes out when I write it.
Unfortunately, this isn't a very well traversed blog, and y'all who do read are almost always silent. Otherwise I'd ask for ideas on what you think Whitney's backstory should include (siblings? With what reactions? Quirks? Interesting teachers?) in hopes something will strike a chord and I'll start writing it. Downsides to not being even reasonably well known.
It's also possible I'm counting on the phenomenon which goes, if you complain about something to enough people, the thing will go away. BRB. Going to try to write the thing again.
