I am training.

But not my muscles, but my skill. I'm currently studying how novels work. I've been on the site for too long and it's time I learn from a credible teacher. And that is an actual novel, and what do you know, it has superpower and heroes in it. Here it is.

Let's do this shit.

Hey guys, here's a friendly reminder that I've got a patreon you can donate to if you want to support me. Depending on the amount you pledge, you can get access to cool perks like early access to stories, music and stories made just for you, proofreading privileges, and free promotion! I'm trying to use the money I make from my patreon to fund trips to things like conventions, so it'd be super cool and helpful if you donated even just a little

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.

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.

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.

Pillars of Society is barreling towards a conclusion, helped along considerably by my new 'listen to text-to-speech of the chapter on my phone while I edit it on my laptop' method of editing. We're still talking nine or so more chapters, but it's going by fast. I edited two chapters today!

After this, I want to do another long thing! Writing long things is fun! It might not pull in the updoots like the clickbaity little stories do, but it's just more satisfying and solid to write them.

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.

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."

You, yes you, can help me choose!

There's a bit of a predicament, you see: I have three different ideas for novella to novel length stories competing in my mind as front-runners for my next project. I'm probably going to write all three of them eventually... but the question is, in what order?

November is fast approaching. And lots of stuff happens in November. Thanksgiving and election day are the noteworthy American events. (My fellow Americans, don't forget to vote!) But another event happens in November, one I'm sure some of you will recognize.

Seriously. That Animated Short was awesome. And the presentation during the opening ceremonies? Beyond epic. The moment the “Global Launch” retrospective glitched, I knew what they were doing and basically had this expression.
