Here's another chapter that could be considered the result of me just mentally throwing up on a page. PROGRESS!!! (See, I only put it once to avoid clashing with Leene's title). I don't think I'm going to do chapter names for these things. Just numbers. Of course, without a projected name I have no idea where I'm going but things like 'plots' and 'editing' and 'narrative prowess' are just conventions that real writers use to make themselves 'readable'.

( Longest Chapter Thus Far!  )

Here's to possibly introducing another character next chapter!

So this is kind of like the prologue part 2. I wanted to make it intentionally vague which means it's more horribly written. Maybe this will just be an endless parade of short chapters, or perhaps I'll sit down and make something longer. It's bound to happen eventually, right?

( NAUTICAL NONSENSE (or at least nonsense)  )

The PLOT THICKENS! Or DOES IT? I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually...there's no plot. That's TBA too...

My story's name is TBA (to be announced) because when I did all those notes for it I (a) couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be about and (b) am horrible at naming things. This really sucks so, to preserve your delicate sensibilities, I suggest you don't read it. I just like posting to see if I'm actually getting anything done.

( Rumba Rumba Rumba Rumba Rumba! )

Hurrah!

I don't know...I was thinking that I might try writing something again. I mean, I ONLY have to do about 50 pages for all my classes plus that senior thesis thing all between November and the first week of December or so...which means my likelihood of actually completing 50,000 words is pretty much slim to none.

But let's face the stats a bit.

Last year I managed to complete about 25,000 words which was halfway (and I did it all in the first week or so of November D: ) before school and my birthday got in the way. Well, I guess a good strategy would just be to start my story business sometime in the beginning of November and write whenever I'm taking a break from schoolwork just to see how far I get. I mean, writing to take a break from writing seems more like a punishment than a reward, but you never know. This is me we're talking about.

So I've decided that I SHALL try and NaNoWriMo this year! Which will probalby last a grand total of three pages before I go "pshaw, I have too much to do to waste time on my stories". But I guess an attempt is a step toward progress! 

I'll brainstorm about an actual topic later.

I've been so lazy the past two days. I'm proud I was able to write at all.

Posting again? So soon? Well, I had this ready MUCH earlier but I wanted to wait till the next day to post this chapter so I wouldn't do too much in one day. This is really overcompensation to the fact that I'm going to have to write many papers at the end of the month and will likely throw any writing projects out the window. So if I do this NOW then I won't have to later.

Hooray for having a day off! I've only written a little bit since last night so it's a short chapter but it seemed like the right time to end it when I did. Not much happens here either...but I'm finally moving along the story again without having to make more explanations.

This one was also really easy to write. MORE EXPLICATION. Does it ever end? I think it did. I was planning to be a bit farther in the plot (if you can call what I'm thinking a plot) but I got caught up in going over the rules, so to speak. This system ended up being much more complicated than it should. Hooray for confusion! Now I want tea D:

Man, this chapter was all filler. Well, some of it was explanation but most of it...pointless filler. On an interesting note, I wrote some of in the doctor's office (it made the waiting more bearable : D )

( Chapter Goes Where?  )

13,612 / 50,000 (27.2%)

This one was easier to write (despite my constantly being distracted)! Likely because it's a lot of dialogue and that's always easier for me to write (didn't say it was good. Just easier)
