So, my Preptober vlog is all finished and I'm all done giving writing advice that I'm not 100% sure is useful or not. Now, for the first time in I don't know how fucking long, I'm actually going to attempt to write something! This vlog doesn't really have anything useful. Just me giving a daily update on how many words I've given each day. Go me! ^_^

 

Go you! The cat wagging its butt at the screen always makes me smile. I enjoyed this one a lot, just hearing you yap about your progress, keep it up! Its really hard for me to keep momentum when writing things, which is why i much prefer reading other peoples works and reviewing them, but it will be very rewarding when you get it done.

:wholesome:

After NaNo's finished, I'm planning on getting into the habit of writing on a daily basis. Definitely not 1667 words a day because that's going to get me burned out real quickly. But 500 words a day is something I think I can do. I mean life does has a habit of smacking me around the head with a sledgehammer this time of year, but this year I'm determined to ignore life completely. I think the key is to just put my phone on silent while I'm writing and hope that nobody dies. ^_^

Day 2! Wrote 3149 words. Very happy! Watch as I make an idiot of myself learning that you cannot put a Do Not Disturb sign on an inward closing door. ^_^

 

 

Actually, placing a "Do not disturb" sign inside my room makes perfect sense for me because I have a habit of getting up and walking around whenever I try to sit down and write something. The sign could remind me to not bother others and focus on my writing XD

Seriously, though. These posts have given me a lot of motivation to write. Thanks for sharing :]

Finished Day 3!

 

TLDW: Daily total: 2298 words. Grand total: 9214 words. I am making lots of progress and am very proud.

Random lesson learned today. When coming up with names for fictional characters and places, it is surprisingly difficult to come up with a word that isn't already a word.

Day 4:

 

TLDW: I wrote 1856 words total, which brings my total so far up to 11,071 words!

Today I was working on a particularly fun chapter that introduces The Harvesters as the antagonists of the novel. "What are The Harvesters?" I presumptuously imagine everybody asking. Well, my novel is set in the middle of an industrial revolution. There have been massive breakthroughs in technology and science and medicine. One of these breakthroughs being the first successful organ transplants and so, of course, this is a huge deal! Every promising young scientist wants to learn as much as they possibly can about this incredible new procedure. But, of course, that requires a lot of fresh, healthy, well preserved organs to transplant and to experiment on. But where is a budding young doctor going to find a steady supply of fresh, preserved organs?

Well, that is where the Harvesters Guild comes in. They are a guild that… Has a strange talent for finding recently deceased bodies of young people with absolutely no damage to their organs. Isn’t that convenient? What a nice, helpful group of people! ^_^

Ah, the ol' Burke and Hare treatment.

They really put the Fun in Funeral. ^_^

These guys would be good friends with those wholesome, good aligned necromancers Darius was so into.

....which fucking reminds me, I'm still withholding his and Ace's Thunderdome stories. Whoooops.

It's been a crazy couple of weeks okay, my brain is completely fried.

I'm sure The Harvesters can fix you up with a new one. ^_^

I was actually cringing when you tried opening that package with your NaNoWriMo nails. I was so paranoid they were going to break lol

... They did... I had to stop filming, glue them back together and then make part 2 of the video. >.<

At EndMaster's request, from now on I will be putting all of the text before the video so as not to break the front page. Anyway, today I found out that apparently, somewhere on my laptop, there is an internet exploding button of doom, and if I ever accidentally press it, then my internet will just straight up die. (No, I did not put the internet on flight mode. I am not quite so stupid that I don't know how to turn off flight mode.) Luckily the guy at the electronics store pressed the button that performed the internet resurrection spell and its all fixed now. Hurray! ^_^

Word count for the day: 1898 words. Not bad.

Day 5

 

Another day finished... Didn't do so well today. I was busy. Stupid life and family and friends and things that aren't writing.

Word Count for the Day: 471 words

I don't mind though. 471 words isn't bad and I'm already pretty far ahead from all the writing I did before, so not really much of a set back... In happier news, I found a really nice writing group that I met up with and also, I don't live in America! ^_^
