people who think it's easy and inspired are unilaterally terrible
As someone with a bachelors degree is screenwriting, I can assure you that writing narrative fiction in a novel format is unbelievably hard and something only a brave few can pull off effectively.

No I am going to write the next great American novel.
Seriously don't even think this a little
you will look at what you have wrought, how pathetic and derivative it is upon the page, a gutted shrivelled
corpse of the splendid idea in your head
you will simultaneously confront your failings as a writer and communicator, the mundane and trivial nature of your thoughts, and the vast gulf of incommunicability that lies between all minds.
Nanowrimo is meant to teach you how to set good writing habits. That's all. Look for more and you will find yourself staring into the void
only you realize it's you
and you're screaming
forever
I'm using it to write a script for a comic book I want to draw.
So I figure it won't matter much if the writing is mostly awful, I'll handle refining it into something worthwhile in translation to comics.

See, this is why I think I have the secret to success. As a non-reader, my work clearly can't be derivative. Terrible yes, but it's been so long since I actually sat down to really read a book completely that the only author who's style I could possibly bite would be R.L. Stine's.
The problem with me for Nano also is that a story should be as long as the story should be.
Trying to shoehorn something into 50k words is how bad writing happens.
Well, one of the many ways that bad writing happens.
I do think with something like National Novel Writing Month 50k is a not a bad thing to do. A lot of people I know that participate do it to refine their writing schedules. One of the first habits to break is to think what you're writing is Tolkienesque work that requires 200,000,000 words and 8 volumes to compile. Giving a 50k gauge kind of shows a rusty writer that they can be concise and still tell a good story.
Normally I find writing non fiction easy for my classes. Usually philosophy and political papers.
Now I have to write a one page paper based purely on opinion as to who was more evil: the people that exposed where Anne Frank was hiding during World War II, or the Nazis that took her away when they got the info.
I used to think opinion based papers were easy... I mean students find such papers easy, but I care so freaking much about these kind of papers that I treat them like finals.
I look at NaNoWriMo as a game. I have some local friends who participate, and together we simultaneously compete and collaborate. I don't expect to get anything good or useful out of it. It's just fun.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

This is an unfathomably stupid question, and your teacher should be ashamed of him/herself

There are ~4000 images on my phone that I can't find. It was a collection of images for cakes, just random stuff. I put them on my phone's SD card to transport them, they're still viewable through the gallery, but they aren't in any accessible folder when I hook the phone up to my PC. This is driving me nuts, it's a good 2 gigs of space that I don't have.

The card might have hidden folders that force you to go through whatever software they have in order to get them. Try unhiding folders?
My Belruel
'twas the twelving day of Everfair
when fell my maid of raven hair
beneath her cloven standard of the wren
and damn that roiling goblin horde
we'd almost slain the overlord
but i could never roll an elf again
"The Queen of Bells and Battle-Downs"
she wore the title like a crown
Foes so deep a man would drown, but she still stood alone
a princess and a duchess both
and sworn to nine prestigious oaths,
her duties, they would take her to that twisting spire of stone
Against his tower, a silhouette
She called like a coronet
And the green sea of his armies burst from warrens far below
The pacts he'd made with demonkind
Had rent his thin and tattered mind
And hellish princedoms occupied the arrow he let go
They took her through the crowded square
And laid her at the temple stair
The sorcelled barb of Arudair beyond their healing arts
there stands a circlet on her brow
that turns the blades of men around
But if Belruel could hear me now
This song would pierce her heart
'twas the twelving day of Everfair
when fell my maid of raven hair
beneath her cloven standard of the wren
damn that roiling goblin horde!
and damn their hell-bound the overlord!

Each sentences carries within it the imperative of its own next sentence.
Both of which are sensational examples of minimalism in literature
you are a true innovator
That was terrible.

So good!!
Stories function based on both how they fulfill and betray genre expectations.

So, which of the 3 PA comics are you guys in favor of?
I like it, though with all the reverb bussing I was doing, it got a little overcompressed.
and it has elizabeth bishop reading in it!
This is how I view almost all fiction.

Booooooooooo
I'm thinking Queen of Bells, personally.
This is an unfathomably stupid question, and your teacher should be ashamed of him/herself

I need to know how far away from stuff my own stuff is
I'm open to the idea that Queen of Bells may exist to sate some appetites I have, but I simply can't tell from the offering we have so far.
Read better writers :P
None of them.
I pretty much hate it when they do shit like this.

This is all you need to know.
Storywise maybe New Kid.
I have no idea what the angle is going to be on today's strip.

It's tycho singing that
I generally do. And those writers generally write non-fiction.
