So this was one heck of a month for me. Not only did I promise to write 60,000 words for National Pony Writing Month, but I also had to go take the GRE Test in order to apply for my graduate school. Coupled with a birthday and shrinking possibilities of getting a job, it was quite the stressful month.

But I did it. I survived, and even succeeded in some places.

I studied for the GRE and got better than average scores.

Cary Fukunaga's brutal, intense and uncompromising study of the life of a child soldier is an astounding entry in an already astoundingly strong career, and a moving, deeply intimate and tragic look into a corner of the world that is often neglected.

A year ago, I started blogging on this site, with my first blog about my participation in National Pony Writing Month. Well, I'm doing it again this year, with the same word goal of 60,000 words. I'm doing 11 different stories this year, and along with my schoolwork, it's going to be a hell of a time this year. Hopefully I'll be able to pull through.

Okay, I'm not changing the story status because, frankly, I've gone far longer between updates without changing it before, but Legacy is going on hiatus for a month or so. Maybe six weeks at worst. The reason? National novel Writing Month.

That was the bad news.

The good news is, my NNWM project is Legacy.

So far, so good in my story. I've almost hit the 20% complete mark and it feels good! And it's only week one! Don't worry, my followers, I shall post this story in due time! The first chapter up at the start of December once I've completed it!

Hopefully.

I will be participating in NaNo this year. No pony stories. The challenge:

To win NaNoWriMo, participants must write an average of approximately 1,667 words per day (69 per hour, 1.2 per minute) in November to reach the goal of 50,000 words written toward a novel.

Sure, it was largely a predictable rehash of Episode IV full of plot contrivances (Why doesn't the Empire ever build security cameras into their death machines?) but I honestly don't even care that much because fucking Star Wars is back!

Oh and the music was amazing as always. Soooo much yummy french horn!

This is it, folks. The final day of NaNoWriMo, the day where your word-count stands in judgment over you. What does mine say?

"Eh, good job buddy. Better luck next year."

Welp, with the turn to November finally here, it's time to strap myself into my word processing software and write for dear life.

See you on the flipside.

My friends, I come to you with mixed news.

I've been wanting to write original fiction for a while now. Years. Decades, actually. This year, I set out to write an original novel.

It's been sitting pretty at three and a half chapters since February. Yeee...

Saturday ended with 9,138 words in The bag, only 2,528 words under par! Believe it or not, that is quite the achievement given the week I had. It turns out that between work, volunteering, and getting ready for a trip, it all rolled out to about two hours a day to write.

Sometimes less. For instance, while Saturday was a very good day at about 2,500 words, Friday was... not. 21 words? It's a little embarrassing.

Me fav'rite time of the year alongside Christmas and me own birthday.

I would 'ave a bottle of rum to mark the occasion but I reckon there's a massive difference between talking like a pirate and acting like one, savvy?

United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Haiti, Jamaica, Peru...

It was another semi-productive week for NaNoWriMo! For the first bit in any case. I reached 14,509 words total, which means I wrote a gross wordcount of 5,371 words over the course of five days, Sunday to Thursday. I was not home from Friday to Sunday night, and so did not get any words written (I was taking part in my yearly bout of wildlife conservation). This week is looking similar, so I'm going to do my best to crunch as many words as possible before I take my leave of the internet.
