Tsukishima Kei - From the Start

From the start, Tsukishima Kei has always known about volleyball ever since he was young. His older brother loves volleyball, so naturally, he had to show that to his younger brother and tell him all about the sport. Kei had always looked up to Akiteru and puts a great amount of trust in him. He is the one that has always been in his life since he was born. After all, that smile of his would never hurt him.

...

That is until one day, he finds out the truth.

Why was his big brother in the stands cheering for Karasuno instead of wearing the uniform and playing volleyball for the team? What was he doing there? Why did he not let Kei see the games? Or even tell him the truth about everything that has been going on in his life?

...

That moment had shattered his faith Kei had in the sport. Kei would hold a lot of questions and resentment about the game for a long time, but he had never once thought about leaving the sport for good. He wanted to know the reasons why his brother thought that volleyball means everything to him. Why is this sport so important to everyone?

...

Yamaguchi and the others on the team seem to have a reason why they play volleyball and train so hard on their free time, but Kei isn't the type to overexert himself like that. He knows his own limitations and skill level, but he does not try to exceed past them. What's the point, right? With all sports in general, they would all lose at some point after all. Why not use all that energy into something that actually matters?

...

However, Kei's curiosity gets the best of him, and being surrounded by a lot of volleyball players seem to have piqued his interest even more. Bokuto, being one of the top players in Japan shares his own experiences with him and tells him that one day, Tsukki will have his moment, and when that time comes, he too will understand the importance of volleyball.

...

Until the moment comes, Kei will continue to play the game and search for the answers he keeps seeking from the start.

Novella November 2024 Announcement Post

Hate AI, but love writing challenges?

Want to take part in a global, fun project to write a Novella in one month?

Grab some friends, and take part in Novella November, by writing 1,000 words a day for the month of November, ending with a 30,000 word Novella to test and stretch your novel-writing skills!

Your goal is not perfection, but merely getting into the habit of writing a litte bit every single day :D

No website, no sign-ups -- Just a community initiative to write using only your own word!

What are the rules? Just Three so far!

#1 - No AI

#2 - No Plagiarizing

#3 - Wordcount for the month should only come from what you write during the month.

What does that mean?

Only words written during November should go towards your Wordcount for the month... but! Feel free to use your 30k words as a continuation of previous writing, or just make it the first 30k words in a longer novel!

Don't think you can write a whole entire 30k word story? Write a series of short stories that total up to 30k!

Not ready to write original works yet? Write a 30k word fanfiction that you can post after the month is over!

Share your writing experience, tips, encouragement, and questions in the #Novella November tag!

---

EDIT, from the tags: Want a progress tracker? Track your progress with TrackBear!

https://trackbear.app/

Don't have a word processor? Use LibreOffice , the free and open-source alternative to Microsoft Word!

Want to organize/storyboard your Novel and don't want to pay a subscription? Try 7writer by Simon Haynes!

Want to be able to listen to your story aloud for proofreading using TTS (text to speech)? Try Balabolka!

Or, create some custom progress / Goal Cards in advance you can fill out as you reach word goals! For ideas and templates, search this blog for "goal cards" :D

Want to do a writing challenge in more than just November? Check out my ideas here for year round challenges to keep you writing consistently! Got feedback? Send it in, I'd love to see everyone's ideas!

---

EDIT 2: I almost forgot to mention, if you are unable to write/type your story, you can also narrate/dictate your story to your preferred recording device!

If you're doing a Recording only and it doesn't automatically generate a transcript, it would obviously be hard to judge the word count -- but you're also working with a lot of obstacles, so I'd say if you're able to complete your story via voice recording from start to finish, you've definitely achieved the goal!

Edit #3: added the title "Novella November 2024 announcement post" to the top to make it more standard with my Ominous October and Drabble December posts (will be updating Outline October shortly) , added "Official Announcement Post 2024" to the tags so people can easily find the monthly events for 2024, and added a bit of bold to the third bullet point in the original post from September 2nd 2024 for emphasis.
