NaNo Day 9: “You trust me do you?”

“You trust me do you?”

-Write This Down-

You trust me to finish this novel, do you?

Well... I sure hope I do...

Anyway.

So, uh, I hit my wordcount today. Yaaaaay. Let's hope I keep it up. I'm getting more in tune with Keenah and things are getting easier to write. Which is also a good. I am halfway done with Chapter 9 (unless it turns into a bloated monstrosity like Chapter 8 was)

MY NOVEL IS IN TOTAL AT EXACTLY 103,457 WORDS, MAKING IT THE LONGEST NOVEL I'VE EVER WRITTEN!!!!!!!
And it's not even halfway done yet o.o

Kshi is now my bud on NaNo WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Aaaand, hmm, what else? Well, I uh... joined this rp and finally named a character Godlumthakathi. It's an African name that means "he who holds back the wizard". I love that name...

And I also finished watching Yu-Gi-Oh! the original series. Now to eagerly await as LittleKuriboh makes the abridged version..... *still waiting*

I plan to watch Fate/Zero when I have the time and finish it. It is SOOOOOO good omGGGOGGGG! Yall should watch it if you haven't already. I want to make an rp based off of it SO bad hory shiiiieeeet.

And maybe I just will xD

A small, controllable one that is. Can't take all the glory away from my (slow and slightly inactive) Aisthesis and my (very much empty) Skyrim.

Eh, who am I kidding? Everyone's too busy anyway xD

I also realized that by hiding the Siberia boards on Aisthesis, I eliminated a very VERY important rp concerning myself and Cel.

ooops.

sorry cel ;-;

NaNo Day 8:

Nothing got written today D:

I was just so busy, omg D: I feel terrible about not writing anything, but there was nothing I could do about it. Tomorrow I will definitely be working on Chapter 9. To start, I will need to get more notes taken and probably do some one shot things or something cause I am NOT feeling the character right now. So I will need to spend some time working on her before I really sit down and crank stuff out.

For those of you following the book on wattpad, this chapter is from Keenah's POV and actually does NOT have fighting in it (from what I planned so far). At the very least, there's no blood and gore. The past three chapters had stuff like that with Chapter 8 being VERY blood and gore heavy, so it's a little change of pace now.

But the cool thing is that I will be uniting some arcs together, specifically, Kah, Meruse, Keenah, Falgarith, and Elai are all going to meet up together. That's a lot, wow, but at least they will all get some more screen time from here on out.


Peace out, minions!

NaNo Day 7: He could not escape it. Could not destroy it. Hope was a lie.

stuff happened


EDIT

Came back to actually SAY something...

So, some of Chapter 9 and 10 was written today. I also extended my end date on WordKeeper to Dec 12 so that I can take some of the pressure off of me. I have to actually do a lot of research and note taking for these chapters, and keeping up with that AND writing 5000 words a day was mentally exhausting. I was already experiencing mental burnout. So by Liam's suggestion, I extended the end date to Dec. 12th. This does not effect NaNo at all. I'll still be ending over 50k on schedule.

NaNo Day 6: “I’m with those guys,” she said, jerking a thumb at two hefty lads guffawing amongst themselves. “They got me covered.” They didn’t.

They didn’t.

So, I managed to FINALLY finish (albeit rushed) Chapter 8 as well as a rewrite of the ending for Chapter 7. I posted both to wattpad.

Now for Chapter 9, wherein we step into the rather rough and ragged boots of Keenah as she sets to meet Kah and his Falgarith master up North in Icefall, which if y'all remember, was around the same spot where Garnet was in Chapter 3.

It's been a while since I did the Kah-Meruse/Keenah arc, so it's nigh time we got back to it.

NaNo Day 5: “Kill anything that shines too bright!” Lohk shouted. “Extinguish this false light from the world! Return the darkness to itself! Ride!”

I finally did it!
So, on the third day of NaNo, I had no brain power whatsoever. Determined to meet a word count of some kind, I typed out plot. That was it. It was the saddest thing ever. It looked something like this.

It was big and scary. He stabbed it. It screamed and lurched back, then swiped at him. He decapitated it. "Curses," he cursed, because he totally missed the thing's jab at his side and now it was hurting like crazy. It was bleeding too. But not much. Just a little. It still sucked. He was not happy about it.

Eew.
So I have been spending the past two days rewriting aaaaaaaallllll of that stuff. Ya know, making it longer and pretty and actually worthwhile.
I FINALLY finished. It was long and arduous and exhausting and I'm never doing that again. Ugh.
Oh wait, December is revision month shiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeet.

In other news, this is the longest fracking chapter ever. Holy crap. It is just about halfway done and guess how long it is? Guess.

You props did/n't guess it. It's exactly (as of this moment in time) 13,700 words.
That's 200 words longer than Chapter 7, and Chapter 7 is a completed chapter (give or take the very last scene which needs some tweaking up to actually sound better).

*ugh*


I still have about 3669 words left to write tonight, so I must now go.

NaNo Day 4: Lohk took a step back as the men around him dispersed into the madness.

So, that being said, NANOOOOOOO!!!!

I HAVE been diligently writing every day and meeting my word count, but I have been too busy to actually get blog posts written up for it. So here is ONE.

xD


Okay, a real short blurb on anime.

I finished Knights of Sidonia, then watched Walker Romanze, a shameless harem anime that really makes fun out of every bit of it. And it had a very good ending to boot. It's about an ex-Knight who works as a stablehand in a Jousting School, and all the Knights (the harem) are fighting over him to be their strategist for the tournament in the summer. It's cute, it's fun, it's funny, and of course, lots of fan service. I just love how it embraces itself. A lot of harems out there try to almost hide the harem, as if they can pull the wool over our eyes and be all "it's not reeeaaaaally a harem...." Baka. That's sort of how Knights of Sidonia felt to be honest. Like, there was action and stuff, but it didn't feel like anyone was REALLY in danger, the characters were kinda flat, and EVERY female (just about) wanted to get in the main guy's pants. *sigh*

I digress.

Walkure Romanze just embraced its own genre and had an absolute ball. You can really feel it too. It was great for a short, weekend binge ^^


And theeeeen there was Gokukoku no Brynhildr (aka Brynholdr in Darkness). It's kind of a mix of Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Code: Breaker. I don't want to say anymore because anything else would feel like a spoiler. But WOW. It is bloody, gory, sad, depressing, but good. Aaaaand it's kinda harem-ish. There's a harem there, but that isn't the focus. The romance and fan service bits are actually kept to the parts where there is no major action or anything, so it actually works. It's not like "ooo, cool fight scene fighting and stuff PANTY SHOT". It's actually kept to its own scenes where you won't be distracted by it randomly.

So yah. It was good. Oh, and the opening sequence is v cool. O.O Go check it out ^^

The ending was very... unfulfilling though. But definitely give it a watch despite.


After that, it's kind of a toss up. I started Fate/Zero which is HELLA AWESOME HORY SHIIIEEEETTTT!!!!

But then I kinda stopped, forget why, and I started watching Yu Gi Oh. No, not the children's card game. That's Duel Monsters. I mean the very first Yu Gi Oh where Kaiba has green hair.

And on that note, I leave you with these memes I made. Enjoy ^^ Maybe next time i'll talk about my actual book, but no chance of that tonight.

This isn't a meme, but worth showing.

I intend to make more. There's just too much material here xD

I finish the day with 3379 words. That's about 800 below my target goal for the day, but I started far too late. My word count per day is now at 4071. My NaNo total is now 13,575.
