This would’ve shown up sooner, but I got caught up in a writing groove this evening.

Seriously, some of my dialogue is pretty boring. Stupid brain not writing more good.

As of this moment, I’m sitting at 10,032 words, which isn’t exactly as far along as I’d like to be (at this point, I should be closer to 15,000 words), but isn’t too terrible, honestly. Breaking that 10,000-word mark was nice, and felt relatively easy, all things considered. There’s still lots of story to go through, and I’m only just now getting into the meet of Act II.

Granted, I also didn’t get a comic done last night, so now I’m behind in two artistic endeavors. Three, if you include all the music I want record and haven’t yet. Why are there only 24 hours in a day?

I do miss Ezio in ACIII, but Connor has grown on me,

However, I myself have not spent time in the animus, and therefore cannot do parkour.

Yet.

So what the hell, I’ll try to write a novel.

November is National Novel Writing Month, a time when amateur (and possibly less-than-amateur) writers attempt to create a draft of a full, 50,000-word novel in a single month. It’s a daunting challenge, but it’s one I’ve always wanted to try. I’ve written a number of short stories in my day, including a few that were quite lengthy (upwards of thirty typed, single-spaced pages), but I’ve never managed an actual novel-length work. I mean, 50,000 words is a lot (at an average of 250 words per double-spaced, type-written page, that’s…um…200 pages. Had to do that math). A heckuva lot.

But hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? So I’m going to give it a shot. I’m already behind where I need to be (50,000 words in 30 days averages out to about 1700 words per day, and I’ve only got 6700 after six days), but I think I can catch up on the weekends. I’ve already written the first act, and I’ve got Act II mapped out and part of Act III. We’ll see what happens, I guess, and I’ll keep everyone here up to date.
