    Lost Marbles!? What Happened To You?

    Howdy, y’all.

    I’ve been silent on FimFic for a very long time, and this blog post has been a long time coming.

    What an incredibly bizarre feeling...

    I just binged the entirety of DEVILMAN Crybaby, and while the somber tones of the ending where still settling in my brain, I turned on the first episode of Cyborg 009 VS Devilman.

    Medieval Coroner Reports

    On Saturday, August 9th, 1298, a candle on the wall in a small shop in Oxford fell onto the floor and ignited the straw flooring. John and Alice Trivaler, the husband and wife operators of the shop, that was also their home, rushed out of the burning building; however, no sooner than when they reached safety, to Alice's utter horror, she remembered her infant son of only four weeks was

    Huh... I was there...

    I slipped and twisted my ankle during this storm and spent three depressing days snowed in a hospital. And that was when I discovered Fimfic.

    Never knew it was a part of meme history.

    NaNoWriMo's over... so what now? What have I learned?

    NaNoWriMo is over. I didn't meet the written goal, but it's not a failure.

NaNoWriMo Day 15 Results - Holy Cow! We're already halfway there!? · 6:13am Nov 16th, 2017

Progress
Words - 15,758 + 1,400 / 50,000
Days - 15 / 30
Average - 1,144 words a day (+18) [Required average - 1,667]
Pages - 31 + 2
Chapters - 4

Total Progress - 34.32% (+2.8%)

That was fast!

I mean, wow, already halfway through the month. But I'm not halfway through the story! I still got like two and a half more chapters to write before I get to the big half-way mark. Every day counts, so I need to get plenty of rest, eat my greens, and try not to get arrested.

But I've got to admit, even if I don't make the goal of 50,000 words, I'll be much farther along than I was if I didn't take this challenge. I'm about halfway through the fourth chapter at the end of my second week. Back when I was at my pony-plotting productivity peak, I'd spit out a chapter about once every week and a half, maybe even two. And I didn't maintain that for long. So far I've already got 3 and 1/2 chapters done in first draft in two weeks. That's almost double my previously mentioned peak. I'll have Claymore [working title because 'Claymore' is such a fucking common and lazy name that I can't possibly stick this story with such a boring name, but Celestia help me, I can't come up with a better one to save my life] *ahem* I'll have this story completed in a fraction of the time it would have taken me otherwise at my usual pace.

And that is some cool beans right there.
