Okay, so in a couple days, NaNoWriMo, will begin, which is basically a writing CONpetition lasting the length of November. The goal is 50,000 words, but I think I'm gonna aim for 30,000. And it's all gonna be on MB projects, pretty much.
So, first up is finishing up this story double-time, and then I have plans to make a LEGO Ninjago Movie prequel, which should be a blast. Outside of that, I'm still working on CONcepts for either another story related to this one, either a CONplete rewrite, or a sequel.
NaNoWriMo stands for "National Novel Writing Month" and it's kind of a big thing. People all across the US at least (maybe the world, I dunno), speed-write during November. Some published authors have put together almost entire books in a month through this. I've done it twice before. I'm aiming a bit lower than normal this year due to classes and all.
You basically start tracking your word count on whatever project you decide to do on November 1st, and then kind of keep track of how close you are to your goal, how many words per day you need to be writing, that sort of thing.
It's not so much of a contest as just challenging yourself to stop procastinating and write your projects. If you do make your writing goal, then there are prizes (mostly free one-month subscriptions to stuff and the likes ) but it's mostly about just making writing your priority for a month. You can compete against other people too.
Okay, this is all the moar I have for a little while.
“Please don’t!” I said. My brain raced. All my planned conversations now seemed flat and distant, out of immediate reach. “Hey, it’s just…I don’t know. I goofed. You don’t know how many different versions of the reveal I had dreamt of. I had been planning this out for ages. I had wanted to throw it in your face at one point; I’d wanted to keep it secret forever at others. And in the end, I picked the worst possible method, and didn’t include you at all.”
“I’m sure there were worse.”
“Yes, but they died when I stopped hating you.” I shrugged. “You mean a lot to me Celeste. It’s just, well, I’m a guy. I plead obliviousness.”
“Do you have flowers?”
“No.”
“Good.” She said, and motioned to the table set up in the middle of the room. “Shall we sit down?”
“Yeah.” I said, and led her over. I held the chair for her, as prescribed in the YouTube tutorial, and then seated myself. “How about this? Exclusive, one-on-one, no-bars question session. Ask me anything, and I’ll answer you.”
“What’s your secret?” She said. “You’re not on an immersion rig, that’s for certain.”
“Chatter combat.” I said. “There was hidden depth programmed into that operating system.”
“How are you so darn quick with the commands?”
“Typing games growing up.” I shrugged.
“How did you feel about me showing up that one day?”
“I almost strangled Mateo.”
“What’s next?”
“I’m challenging all the greats to a battle tomorrow night.”
“Do you think you’ll win?”
“I’ll say I’ve got a fair shot.”
“Who are you most worried about?”
“Skul, hands-down.”
“Do you love me?”
I didn’t hesitate. “I think so.”
If it weren't for the fact that you're gonna challenge the greats, I'd have given up on this
Great story, Con!
You're not very interested in the whole romantic side of this story, are you?

Oh hey cool, maybe I should try doing that and finish the first book of Gravitation.
Ninjago Movie prequel, that actually sounds interesting. Cool!
Now I gotta figure out where I'm going with this. 
I bet they're Taog's fault.
