Smells A Lot Like National Pony Writing Month · 10:08pm Nov 3rd, 2014
Can you smell that? Leftover Halloween candy rotting in the windows. And it's still another two weeks until it's replaced by Christmas cookies. You know what that means: it must be November.
But November isn't just that meaningless unwanted time between everyone's favorite holidays; it's also National Novel, and more importantly, National Pony Writing Month. If you want to participate, you still have a chance. It's just the third after all. There's groups and chats and encouragement posts all about it. And who knows: by the end of it, there may even be Christmas cookies.
I myself plan on entering with this little story. It's one about Lyra and holistic detective agencies I had thought up and started more than a year ago, but which, due to some unfortunate circumstance, I kinda dismissed and hid in the deepest parts of my do-no-open folders. But now, I'm rewriting the entire thing from scratch. At an expected rate of 1677 words a day.
...
Wish me luck; I know I'm gonna need it.
Edit: Everything turned out horribly. Well, not horribly, but most of the words I wrote were for a story that is definitely dead now and only part of the others were usable.
Good luck!

Thanks! So far it's been going decently enough. I'm behind on the quota, but not so far that I need to despair just yet.
