NaNoWriMo got vanquished, with a few thousand words to spare. A hearty chunk of the word count was research-related, but I got Terrarium Lights fully drafted, which is also a victory in and of itself (I actually finished a story for once lol). The original plan was that the story would be three parts, and it still kind of is, just, uh, well now there are sub-parts to the parts. So. Not sure exactly how the update schedule will work, but I'm going to try to upload a bit every Saturday.
Research continues to go. I think I knocked out most of my needed research for Wild West stuff, but we'll see as the writing continues.
Still debating about whether or not I should try and do an entry for the Christmas Inklings Challenge. I have some vague scene ideas but nothing concrete.
The rest of the month/year will be mostly prep work and research and editing for various projects to be tackled in 2024 (which is. next month. why is time like this), mainly a few more shorter stories and the longer story with Crispin, and more generally getting my writer act together.
