I finally realized I should put [to be continued] at the end of an on-going chapter, duh! If you’re reading along as I free-write this new story, I’ll try to remember to do that, just as an indicator that the chapter still has some story to tell. I’m always developing new strategies/techniques, so I hope this is helpful :-)

New story up! I haven’t totally abandoned my other works, but I do get so excited to start something new that the other stories get pushed further and further onto the back burners. I will concentrate less on writing one chapter a day during NaNoWriMo like I did with my previous stories and try to flesh out what I’ve already worked on. I’ve already made new updates to Chapter 1, so check it out and let me know what you think of it so far!

Decided to do some restructuring and I’m adding a new POV to part III. I’ll probably add at least one more chapter before I get back to the part of the story I was working on, but I think it adds a little more depth to the story. Complicates things with yet another POV/Storyline, but it’s all about the depth!

Here’s the last line of the most recent chapter I completed: “and their task seemed no closer to being finished.”
          Hmm…sounds familiar. I didn’t really mean to have my art imitate my current life, but I thought it was a good line, haha. I remember a few weeks ago when I was like, “oh yeah, I’ll have this thing done in the next few days!” Yeah…yeah right.

I’ll admit…I’ve got story fatigue! I’ve been working on this for three months now and while I’ve gotten some kind of word count done each day, it’s starting to feel like I’m slogging through. ***Just keep swimming, just keep swimming***

I know the feeling! Some days it just flows out and others it’s like pulling teeth.

Writing anything of substance over the holidays is hard! But I got something done, at least. Every time I think I might be going into the downward swing on this, I think of another plot point I want to include—this is my first fanfiction attempt but I feel like it’s getting WAY too long. Then again, I’m having fun creating the story, so…who cares how long it is! Hopefully anybody reading along with it isn’t too annoyed, lol

I have trouble coming up with character names too.

That’s GhostFacers lol. I never thought about googling it lol. I like the sound of that one too but you’re right it’s probably protected.

@Mrjcl1031 but I googled paranormal investigators and saw a really good one, though I don't thinknyou can steal it: Grimstone Investigators. I thought it sounded cool

Entering into the final day of #NaNoWriMo2022 and I’ll have double the word count goal! I still have a few more chapters to go, but this has been one of my most successful Wrimos ever. Hopefully there are a few nerds out there who can appreciate the expanded world of the Tenth Kingdom that I’ve created—let me know your thoughts
