Ninja llamas...that is imagination at its best! LOL funny!
Right now...I wish I could jump into the middle of my novel and live with the characters. I like them all so much.
When I get stuck, I have learned just to wait and the next part will come. (but then I don't have a month's time limit to write 50,000 words either)

As I recall...ninja llamas were Jen's idea.
I can't explain it.

9 hours to midnight here. I will probably get up early and start writing in the morning before work. Last year I was often able to get half a days word count in with breakfast.
JenB is my wife (of almost 2 months now, we met here on freerepublic) and we will probably both try to get a start first thing in the morning.
Actually the ninja llamas are traceable to their beginnings on a Anime Iowa convention forum thread involving a college buddy of mine (who totally failed at nano last year and is going to try again this year). Since then they have sort of taken on a life of their own as the 'ninja llamas from the future'.
We had a challenge last year to work certain common elements into our stories. Such as characters with certain names, objects or the ninja llamas. I think Rosie was on of the few that got almost all of them in there. I only managed a couple of the items myself.
