I just got my first comment!!

There's nothing like getting a follow and a comment telling you that someone is excited to see what you do with a story to give you the necessary burst of motivation to continue. I'm on cloud nine!! Now I really want to finish my NaNoWriMo up well so that I can switch over to editing and start giving the people what they want. Because there ARE actually people who want something! It's incredible!

It's like having kickstarter backers but for a fanfiction. And I appreciate you all so much. All three of you 😂💙

45k!!

That's right! I'm 45k into my NaNoWriMo as off 12:30 AM on the 28th.

This is officially the most words I've ever put into a document ever, and honestly I'm super proud of that accomplishment. I am a little nervous given that I have two/threeish days more to write 5,000 more words, which is low key terrifying, but I'm also just so stoked to have even made it this far!!

Send me anything about this, questions, encouragements, I'd love to see it/ respond to it all! Engagement will be super helpful the next few days so I need to make sure that I don't fall of the face of the earth. But I also have one and a half DnD games to play in the next two days so I'm a little nervous on how that might eat up my time. But ya know what?

I'm just gonna pray about it. Give it to God, write for fun, and just truck on through! Writing things I know I would enjoy reading, and enjoy writing, has definitely helped me get some of my mojo back. Literally, this is a hobby-- and I'm doing it out of passion and I'm doing it for fun, so if I want to stay passionate I better stay having fun with it.

Wish me luck!! Let's go have some fun with words, shall we?

Why is it that as soon as the deadline is gone so is the motivation

[teacup-of-candlelight]

Am I crazy? Yes.

Did I just post the intro to my NaNo wip on FF.net and Ao3? Also yes.

Was this a mistake?? Probably.

Hello once again! Today I am sending THE best vibes in the hopes you will gain a sudden burst of writing motivation! I noticed you've been having a bit of trouble, but you can still make it, worry not! All writing counts for nano, skip around if you'd like, throw in a new plot twist for the heck of it, you never know what will work and if it doesn't you can figure out why and go another direction, but you don't have to delete those words! I would also like to ask, what is the thing you look forward to getting to write the most? What made you light up with excitement (or mischief) about the story you're creating in the first place?

Thank you thank you! Honestly, these messages have been life savers.

Well.. at the very core of this? Is my ship that got literally separated by time and low-key kidnapping and never had the chance to address their feelings. I'm so excited to actually get them together?? And all of the juicy philosophy that goes along with Artificial Intelligence stories in the first place.

But I'm ALSO just weirdly excited to get to all of the side characters? They have so much potential and so often get completely overlooked I'm actually incredibly looking forward to giving them the spotlight time they deserve.

NaNo Day 13 Final Count

22460! woof. This was hard fought and many spoons were lost in the making of this word count.

I'm very tired. Goodnight.

And by goodnight I mean let's just go write a little more.
