When in doubt, add in a few random farts to the story, that’ll spice things up….

Note to self: Do not use banishing charms while bowling, all those strikes on gutter balls might get suspicious to the muggles.

That’s what Oblivate or Confundus is for.

Sometimes the right soundtrack can get the creative juices flowing again.

I’m now working on a second Christmas story, involves some of the material from the Halloween story that I did scrub.

It works better as a christmas story, with flashbacks, IMO.
-
OOooo. Nice.

Yesterday, a conversation with @CloverReef mentioned Christmas trains, and, well, I found I’m able to run with it, did like half of it last night.

I posted a chapter, which means, I’ve met my NaNoWriMo goal, with a little extra, several hundred over 200k.
Next month….hmmm, I need a goal. 300k would be a bit much, but 250k seems too small, maybe 275k? Thinking about it.
-
After a short burst of writing, I’ve finished the chapter that’ll let me reach my nano goal. My story will make 200k words on Friday! (Still need to wait, proofread, so that’ll be Friday, the last day of the month. While this will be cutting it close, on time is on time.)
-
Only several K left to reach my nano goal for the month. Was a bit worried this chapter would come up short, but then I realized I had given the main character a burn ointment (for sunburn) that’s sold as an aphrodisiac in that it makes for super sensitive skin. Plenty of potential for several K of smut
-
… What is the name of this ointment? I’m asking for *cough* a friend...
-
I kept the name simple, “Kirkburton’s Sensitizing Ointment” with the directions of "Apply to desired areas, wait five minutes, rinse off, and enjoy twenty four hours of bliss. Warning, do not use if pregnant or allergic. May contain nuts."
-
btw, steer clear of the medical grade, stinging nettles have been added to discourage “casual use”… (and to protect the Healer’s supplies).
-
-
What better way to give thanks than to write smut?
-
Amen to that

Grrr…. when the cats decided that I ought to get up early, and I find myself awake, unable to get back to sleep. Thus, I’m up earlier than a workday … on a holiday!

Nano update, I tried getting this chapter done today, swear I did. Still, given the progress, once posted, just have 27-28k left to go to meet my nano goal. I can do this, just 7k a day this next weekend ought to make it.
-
I work on a rewrite, suddenly, a new character forms, latches on, and won’t let go, demands to be included in the rest of the story.

While I’m not going to sign up for NaNo, I’ll make a goal. Add 70k to my adult version of my potter fanfic. We’ll see how well this fares at the end of the month.

They do allow fan fiction, and anything you submit is encrypted and scrambled. They just want word count, and not manuscripts per se, so the verification process doesn’t even save the encrypted file.
But do your own unofficial NaNa if you like, and get those 70k words out by November 30!
-
Let’s go with posted, start of the month is 126.8k, and I’m effectively trying to get it to 200k. (It’s on AO3 as I was more confident posting it there, and luckily, they’ve got word counts.) And boy, is the word count ballooning with this revision.
So, I can measure the word count to a very specific plot point that’s shared among the drafts, pretty early into the story. The old-old draft came to 60k to that point, the old-draft (now being replaced) came to 23.6k; the “clean” new version marked 50k; while the “adult” version clocked 115k to reach that same plot point. A little arithmetic on the word counts to those old drafts, and I won’t be surprised if I’m talking millions of words before the story is truly finished.
Thus, that 70k goal might move me 5% of the way through the story, maybe….
-
What will help this month is every weekend is either 3 or 4 days due to my work schedule.
-
Should we have a Halloween countdown?
-
Is it the 20th yet? Anxious to post my Christmas… I mean “halloween” story

I’ll take that…. (so long as I can post before my bedtime
)
-
I'll try to remember to do it 24 hours from now so you'll still be awake
-
I’ll do a final pass tomorrow, you know, grammar, spelling, add some more creepiness. After all, Christmas is quite creepy with a fat man who watches all the kids all year long, when they’re both naughty and nice, and even bribes them with gifts.

Waterproof lining. Desiderius price is just fine if a bit wet.

Sounds like it’s passed, the wind’s calmed back down. That’d be the biggest concern for me, trees falling, taking out power/internet. (With a chance to the house, of course)

You know, cannibalism is a lifestyle choice.

What started this was a youtube video on the subject. A quirk in the legality is that technically, it’s legal in most jurisdictions to consume human flesh, though the acquisition can be rather dicey. Kinda like illegal drugs; it’s generally legal to consume said drugs, just illegal to possess, make, sell, buy, etc….
-
That’s actually really interesting. And made me totally ignore the cannibalism part and glom onto ‘oh maybe my MC didn’t commit a crime in that last scene. Good on ‘em.’

Figure dthat’s a good tidbit with the halloween stories right around the corner….

Yesterday was the six month mark since I lost my furry friend, I still miss him.

Happy Labor Day (to those that celebrate it today).
