Like an idiot I completely forgot that Nano and Comfortember are both in the same month, despite having known all along they were both in November. I am not even going to flirt with the idea of doing both of them at once, and so, one much get the ax, sorry Comfortember, but Nano wins this year.
I'm going to focus on my original Nano work all this month, but if I get my daily writing goals done at the start, I'll dabble in a couple of the Comfortember prompts I haven't finished yet with the extra time.
As for right now though, it's the first day of Nano, and I am goin' a writin'.

Suffering in the heat right now, as per usual this time of year, but trying a bunch of things to help with that, and some of them must be helping, because I have been doing better over the past two days than I was before that.

Anyway, got my writing goal for today done, 509 words so far! I'll be writing a some more in a bit, so it'll definitely go over that even though at the time of posting this it is pretty late already. Thinking I might actually be able to get this chapter to a story I had't even planned on continuing done tomorrow.

Another case of working on something other than what I was going to, but the writing part has gotten fun again. It really helps that I'm not putting these anywhere online just yet, so I can just enjoy them on my own :).

So what I did was, I took a break from most of my social media accounts. Not because anything happened on any of those, I've just been having a horrible couple of months in general, and don't have the patience to deal with the climate on those things right now. Anyway, I take this break, and I figure I'll use all this extra time (it's not that much, really) to get some writing done, maybe finish a couple of WIPs.

And it's been going pretty well on that front actually, kind of...

I've gotten a lot of writing done, even updated one of those aforementioned WIPs, but most of the writing I've been doing has been for completely new, unrelated things. One of which is the first really plotty thing I've come up with in a couple of years.

Not complaining, I have been having more fun writing than I have in a while, and I would never complain about that. It's just interesting how much difference a little extra time can have on ones creativity.

Too tired to get the exact number now, but I know it was close to 2000 words.

9994 words written last month, a bit more really, but I can't be bothered to really add those little things up. Really lost some steam near the end there and I still haven't picked it back up again, barely written at all. Right now I'm tired and in pain, and just don't feel like doing much. Hopefully I'll be over it and in more of a state to write soon.

Knocked out and posted one of those requests I was supposed to do months ago, will post to dreamwidth tomorrow. Now is sleep time.

547 words done today, more actually, but I redid a bunch of stuff from yesterday, so I'm not counting that. Tomorrow will tidy some things up and start with the posting if I can get it done.

Just barely.

Todays mood is wanting to work on that JayEddie highschool AU thing, but not wanting to start up yet another romance WIP. Especially not for a pairing I've never written romantically before. It took my first JaySteph fic like 30 chapters to actually get have any romance in it, so long I considered just turning the thing gen at many points so I could get it done. And even now that I've reached the romance it takes weeks to months to get any chapters involving that romance written. I haven't updated the thing since February last year because I can't get the romance chunk of the next chapter done. I don't want to do that again with the JayEddie thing.

I could always write the HSAU as gen, but I've gotten attached to it being a romance story. Don't know why, seeing as how romance is thr hardest thing on tbe planet for me to actually write. If I just started the story, I'd get like, the first four chapters up really quickly, and then feel horrible again when the rest of it took so long.

Just going to keep working on the non romantic Jason and Eddie thing instead.
