50,000 words-30 days

I took the National Novel Writing challenge again this year. Stared yesterday. Must be a work of fiction-50,000 words in 30 day. Got 1700 done yesterday-zero today-cause I've been here 
Last year my main character had clusterheadaches. I stopped, exhausted at 60,000 words but the story isn't done yet-so not ready for a publisher. This year? I'm doing the clusterheads as pain bearers. Kinda the empath thing. Wouldn't it be cool if the reason we had these headaches was to absord the pain from those around us? Might-just might- make it more understandable.
PFDAN-gonna go write

Do the empaths just feel it or do they take it away for someone else?

I don't know Charlotte-I'm making it up as I go along-I think I should have them absording the painwhich casues escalation in their headaches until their heads literally burst-remember this is fiction.

Wonder if clusterheads are indigo children/adults or crystal children? Could put an interesting plot to your story  Or something along the lines of genetic alteration - the next evolution of humans - kinda like that new series on TV, Heroes.
I gave up on trying to understand the why a long time ago, I now am simply thankful for the wonderful friendships I've established.

50,000!
Wow,
If you can do that verbaly when we drive back from San Diego it will be just like having my girl friend there. 
Of course if Julie were with us and you both can talk like that for 8-9 hours, well..........  , it's gonna suck to be me!

I talk way faster than I write Jeff-only with a southern accent and I'm actually not funny in person.
Day 3-2300 words-headache folks popping up all over the place-CDC staring to get reports of weird healings in some hospitals-only ones not getting better-headache folks-no ones put it together yet. Yep, kinda like "Heroes"(what my son and husband both said.)
Gotta be a spiritual warfare side to this-hey that's just me ya know-so someone gets to find out "Why"...will anyone believe her? Will she chose to give the gift back...an interesting question...if we knew that through our pain we were saving others, would we agree to continue?
Back to the word document....see y'all later

Sounds interesting. Being given a "gift" or a "Curse"....
Good luck.

Well, yes, that would make it all worth everything.
But I'd like to see heads burst - can you do a visual on that?

....on a parallel universe there is a group of people who experience seemingly seasonal bouts of exquisite, pure pleasurable ecstasy. The bouts last from 30 minutes to a couple of hours and is known, amongst those who are afflicted, as some of the best pleasure known to man........some would even say better than makin' babies. sufferers are known to scream with delight at the onset and.......

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.
