I am coming to the conclusion that my book will be one of short stories
I don't seem to do well with my two novels.

You're allowed to indulge yourself a bit. You earned it.

Fascinating! Tables and charts - that's familiar territory, LOL. I never thought they'd play a role in writing novels!

I guess I have these quaint notions of novels being written in garrets by the light of flickering candles, the writers putting down their words on coarse paper after dipping their quill in ink...

But tables and charts! Maybe I should give it a whirl...

This is a very helpful post for anyone ever thinking they might try NaNoWrMo sometime.

Re: adnohr -- do you use logs and charts with all the stories you write?
No. Just the novels.

What Malcolm said, and I add that it's fascinating how you use the logs and charts to achieve it - do you do this with all the stories you write?

Whatever the genre
it's a great achievement
