so far Valjean has been described as wearing a blue redingote and blue trousers in The Luxembourg Gardens chapters and a blue redingote when visiting Jondrette, but Valjean wearing blue coats in fanart or adaptations is so rare 😔

In the ongoing war, there is a clear bias in the European perspective towards Israel. Israel is often portrayed as a victim defending itself, while the suffering of the Palestinians is downplayed and ignored.

This media and political bias leads to a distortion of the truth and the dominance of one narrative, further deepening the pain and injustice faced by the Palestinian people.

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.

tumblr, i am starting a checklist (because i feel odd.)

see; i realized that i actually feel a bit awful right now. i can't quite name it, but i just kind of go through everything my life entails without being particularly happy or sad or angry or anxious. i go places and i sleep and i eat but i feel capital "b" Bad.

that being said, i'm starting a checklist as a bit of motivation. (i wish this website let me have more than one pinned post so i can keep this one somewhere important, but alas.) what's gonna be on it? things i want to do that are plausible for me to accomplish by the end of the year. it'll be a combination of hobbies and singular tasks.

so. here it is:

invest in a sewing machine and start making small items of clothing for myself. i want to develop a specific style, but lack the resources, so i think this is my cheapest option.

find and start attending lessons with a japanese language tutor. eventually i want to travel to the country, if just once, and i don't want to be an ignorant tourist. plus, learning a language other than english is good, and japanese happens to be the one i know best besides english. (besides, japanese is notoriously a challenge for native english speakers, and i am an academic masochist.)

get a new binder. i had one, but had to give it up, so i want to get a new one by the end of the year. it'll bring me euphoria and joy.

experiment more with make-up. it sounds silly, but i really feel out of my depth, so i rarely wear any, but i want to have fun while expressing myself!

make a new friend. i have friends, but i realized i can't always depend on those few people forever. and meeting new people will get easier the more i do it.

invest in more aids for myself. i'm coming to the realization that i am a sensory sensitive person, but don't really have the tools to navigate life with that knowledge. so far i have ear plugs, and i plan on getting chewelry, but who knows what else?

read more books! i love reading. writing is my favorite form of art, and i have so many books i plan on reading, but i haven't gotten around to it. last book i read to completion was no longer human a few months ago, which gave me a lot of thoughts, but i feel like i couldn't appreciate or absorb it in any meaningful way. probably because i don't read as much as i used to.

that's the end of my list of goals. i'm gonna update this post every time i accomplish a goal from the list.

i don't think i'll completely fulfill each one, but i want to get started with each.

btw! I was made aware that many people don't know that we're boycotting Eurovision this year, so.

we are boycotting Eurovision, as per BDS guidelines.

don't watch the stream, don't engage with the videos, don't post it about it on social media using hashtags that are going to trend. whatever you're getting from the show isn't worth it
