gotta sit down and do it
I'm going to be Serious Novel Writing on monday, if anyone feels it would be helpful to join me and post progress after~ I'll even sit in a discord VC if yall want to do some classic mirror behavior. Probably not a high WC day as its outline refinement and crafting scenes for the first half of the training arc, but still Writing

Pretty chill!! Thatโs awesome!! I have the next 4 days off bc I got 5 teeth pulled, so Iโm thinking thatโs where my time will come from (unless Iโm too distracted by the throbbing, Ahaha. I am also going to be away, but I was thinking I could just bring my computer and it would all be good).

And, ahh, school. When do you have to go back? I was always a mix of IM PUMPED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL BC I LOVE IT AND BACK TO SCHOOL VIBES ANS GETTING READY FOR BACK TO SCHOOL MAKES ME SO HAPPY but then also Nuuuuu, I donโt want summer to end and I donโt want to do homework xD but I miss school, haha. Work and adulting is not fun.

I go back later than most people. I think September 4th? Something like that.
Yeah I hate school a lot but the idea of graduating and being an adult is not something I look forward to either haha. Donโt want to grow up but donโt want to stay in school either lol. School is just so draining for me, really ruins my motivation. But sometimes itโs alright, I mean my school isnโt completely terrible.

Yeah, I plan on going to college. I want to get a degree. Ideally Iโd like to go to UNH or BC, but BC is really hard to get into. I have good grades though, so Iโm hoping for the best. Iโm only going into tenth grade though, so Iโve got at least some time.

I've hit a block, unfortunately, but is anyone doing NaNo this year? Given the most recent controversy, I've decided to stop. And for anyone who doesn't know, basically NaNo put out a statement supporting AI and at least one of the sponsors for this year has started using it as well.

Iโve only every done NaNo twice, but for this reason I donโt think Iโll be planning on doing it in the future. I mean, you don't have to do it "officially" to still participate. I, for one, refuse to allow a few horrible people to ruin a community event that has helped network and motivate so many writers over the last decade. Then again, I've only used the official site once in the... wow 12 years I've been doing it. But I'll still be trying to reach the 50k goal in November this year, and I'll still be doing word sprints in discord servers and meeting up with people to write irl because NaNo the corporate entity was only an excuse to stick to a personal goal. They haven't done anything to help facilitate writers other than host a forum (they didn't even do that very well) and idk have a logo. They're not taking that community and our motivation away. All they'll get from this announcement is less donation money. And honestly, the business side has done its part in the culture of NaNo: it's pretty well-known in writing circles at this point, so they've successfully marketed and advertised, and (at least in my area), the libraries and colleges have already put together their own resources for the month, setting aside places for writers to meet up and write or network. Even if your area doesn't have something like this, there are so, so many discord servers and facebook groups and forums that there's no real need to go through the official site anymore. They've outlived their usefulness to the community they've made. The best way to protest is to write despite them. Don't use their site, don't give them money, don't push their logo/brand. Write that 50k for you.

I hate how indecisive I am, but I rewrote the first chapter again (1772 words this time). Please let it stick this time, but at least I wrote at all!

I think Iโd like to try NaNo again this year. I havenโt really written anything this year, and Iโd like to challenge myself to write and get back into something that I love. Iโm not going to do it officially. I never have (and that new rule that AI can join makes me so sad and sick). But I would like to try to write as much as I can the month of November (:

Do it! Set your own goals! I'm challenging myself to finish my entire hard outline in october and then get at least half-way through writing in November, however much that ends up being.

Am I the only one who is obsessed with world building? I am a little new to the writing world and only have two things actually in the process of an actual series but I have built a lot of worlds then just went literally nowhere with any of the because I canโt think of a plot for my life.
