Your “my god how out of touch am I” moment of the day is: I keep getting comments on this fic I’m writing that are like “worth waiting for the update”, “this was worth the wait” and I’m so confused because I have been posting chapters… every ten days at most? what wait, that’s a fast schedule, I thought! And the chapters are between 5k and 7k words each! Each! The fifth chapter is currently sitting pretty at 10 fucking k so I’ll probably have to split it in half…
But I’m dying over this I think it is wild lol. Do people not remember what it was like to have fics that updated every six months, if that, for nearly a decade? Is this something no one else remembers? Have we gotten so into instant gratification culture that waiting a week for 5 thousand words of fanfic is a long time?
This is all so wild to me so I guess I’ll go write another 5k about it lmfao
#am I that old like?? goddamn lmfao#meanwhile Ellis#I did this to myself obv the first chapter is 7k. I should have split it up because now I have locked myself into longer formats for each#chalter which means I am busting my balls writing everyday which is w I l d this was NOT on my 2024 bingo card at all#oh well I’m just along for the ride at this point and I refuse to slow my roll#this fic will top 35k by chapter 6 and it looks like my estimated 14 chapters is gonna end up being closer#to 17 - 20 if I’m gauging my outline correctly#who am I you guys what is happening this fucking cartoon has straight up bodied me#me: I never complete nanowrimo writing 30k in a month is hard#also me: I will write nearly 40k in fanfic in a month though out of nowhere for no reason

It’s fun to have one character be an enthusiastic history teacher. She’s great about dropping background lore and explanations that I want to get across somehow.
“Yes, Lakeview,” Jenrietta confirmed. “That dry sea was the lake.”
Moss cocked her head at the map in the most judgemental fashion. “Okay, I don’t claim to understand griffin naming trends, but I have questions. A sea is not a lake, and a dry seabed is also not a lake.”
Mindylise laughed. “You didn’t say it was that fallen city!” she said to Jenrietta. “My favorite by far. Moss, there was the most amazing passive-aggressive feud between the sky city and the people who lived by the sea. ‘It’s not a lake!’ ‘It looks like one from up here’; that level of pettiness.”
#A Teacher’s Guide to Thread Magic#trust the history teacher to know the fun bits#and have a good explanation for why the place is called Lakeview when there's no lakes anywhere around#she's the one who taught the custodian most of the stuff he knows#she was his teacher 20 years ago#he's grumpy because she missed a detail#though it may not have been in the books at that point#it's relevant now!#amwriting#Camp NaNoWriMo#it's weird to be actively working on this at the same time as new Token Human stories#this is fantasy; that's sci-fi#but life is busy and I can multitask. Onward!

#nanowrimo#probably half of it would go to the deleted scenes file#but well not sure if i would repeat it because of toxicity and sweet hypocrisy of my region nano community 🤡#not even mentioning the current mayhem on forums 😂#at least now I have kind of coherent version of my bojere fanfiction#btw this is my lifetime record 50k in 20 days @.@

Day 1: All I know is that I did write today. Which is an accomplishment for me to make a plan to write and then actually sit down and write!

Happy Halloween to everyone who celebrates! 🎃
And good luck with NaNoWriMo to everyone who's going to participate! 🖋
Anyone doing NaNo feel free to message me! I might need an emotional support group to get through November, because it hasn't even started yet and I already kinda want to quit 🙈😂
#yeah yeah i could just choose to not do nano this year#but i've done it for the past 14 years and i'm not going to break that winning streak now#i don't have a plot or inspiration but i sure do have stubbornness so here we go again i guess 😅#(well i am pretty sure i'll mostly write bc fics like i've done in the past two years#i kinda want to try to see if i can put olliallu through enough different scenarios to get 50k words of that#but i'd probably get bored of writing so much of just one pairing#so maybe more realistically the goal could be like 25-30k of olliallu and then 20-25k of other pairings#asdfghjk that's so many words why am i putting myself through this year after year 🙈)#anyway nanowrimo is the most wonderful time of the year and you all should do it 👌😌😅#oh also beware i'm probably going to reblog lots of writing prompts etc throughout next month because i'll need a bunch of those 😅

Wait I realised I won't have classes in November and probably no job either which means I can do Nanowrimo again 👀
#nanowrimo#I've participated a couple times but I can only do it if I'm not too busy#Last time I wrote a very normal 50k in 20 days#macks musings#Writing

Got to 30,000 words and the story wrapped up at the same time. I'm still pretty proud I got this far.
