[QUOTE=Darth Ninja;51317034]It's really amazing how much your story and the world it's set in evolves while you're writing it. I had a vague idea of where I was going (and still do) but I've managed to surprise myself with some of the ideas I've incorporated just by writing. And the world the story takes place in has drastically changed from what it was originally (and in a good way).[/QUOTE]
I didn't do NaNoWriMo but when I do write I rarely really plan out the beginning and end but I just write and let myself experience the world as I'm writing. I know that's kinda taboo, but does anyone else do it this way?

Guilty as charged. I made up most of it as I went along, didn't have any strict outlines or timelines initially.

Now, would you just look at that.
(correcting all of the grammatical errors will be a pain)
Capped out at 50031 myself, spellchecked and so on. Had to emergency add a section when I realised I had a passage in the middle duplicated somehow, putting me 400~ words higher than I actually was.
I finished on 51324, personally. Right now I'm wondering whether to put the first draft up in a Google doc, or wait until I've trimmed it down and ironed out a few inconsistencies I may have missed.

I failed so miserably at this. Ended up with roughly 3k words. But that's probably the longest fiction I've written, ever. So thanks Monkah :v:
Ended up writing 8,623 words. Nowhere near what i wanted, but i got the start of several short stories and reviews started, which is enough incentive to get me to finish them.
So is someone going to edit OP? I don't expect anyone to do it, but someone doing it would be nice.
i couldnt do it
