I'm going to finish Sweet Dreams.

An extremely rough word count puts it so far at 28,000~ words. 50,000 more in one month? That should be enough to get what I need to get done. Any excess words will be put towards White Rose, but I doubt it, since I have a tendency towards wordiness. >__>

My story will cover the events of Arthur {last name here} as he starts freshman year to graduation.
I have a penchant for that thing we call "reality."

Planning on writing a prequel (or sequel) to this.

No idea what I'm going to write. Transferring "Out Of Breath" on over seems to make sense, since I'm only about 3,000 words into that.

But if not that, something entirely different. There's a non-Touhou fiction piece I've had outlined for years now. Maybe it's time to give that a crack.

"Human history and growth are both linked closely to strife. Without conflict, humanity would have no impetus for growth. When humans are satisfied with their present condition, they may as well give up on life."

I have a setting.  That is all.

And a plan to write a "post-apocalyptic magical girl story", however that's going to work out. >.>

I thought part of the whole point of this was that you took something completely new, not worked further on a project...

I thought the whole point of this was "Just writing".

Bare in mind that this is coming from someone who recently learned what this was all about no more than 2 days ago.

Prooobably something very ero-ero in an original universe. :3 Or something less explicit. Probably the second.

The relevant part on the FAQ.

Then I guess I'll be going with the latter idea. It's been brewing since 2004 anyway, and isn't Touhou-related. So it's overdue for its birth.

Hi, those of you might have already seen my already goofy novel title.

It is quite heavily inspired from Yuusha Brave series, and definitely takes some inspiration from Aura Battler Dunbine, hence the Fantasy genre as it doesn't take place in future or present, rather in a medieval setting. I was thinkin'. Either way, expect copious amounts of HOTBLOOD, HARLOTRY and BETRAYAL!

Hmm. I was planning to flaunt the rules from the start and just write 50,000 words...

But at the same time, there's this other story I've had in mind. And it's an idea that I've had outlined for two years now. Giving it a fresh look, I'm changing and updating a lot of things.

All right. Looks like Shoot the Tengu will see the light of day this coming month!

Oh right, man I keep forgetting to do this

Well maybe I'll actually succeed this year or something.  I suppose I'll be at work when it hits midnight, suppose that's as good a time to start as ever.

I have no idea what the fuck I'm going to write though.

EDIT: nevermind yes I do

Took a while to load. Don't expect too much from me. My idea is pretty easy to score the wordcount with, and thus lame :V

Okay, I typed for about an hour now and reached 1437 words. Maybe I'm more productive if it wasn't 1 AM :V.

Damn it!
I said I wouldn't do it. I said I had too much to do what with college and extracurriculars and whatnot. But I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment because seeing everyone talking about NaNo has made me decide... I'm in too.

http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/443130

I have an idea I've been meaning to write on for a while now anyway. And it's Touhou, too.

Yeah, the site's always slow as hell for a couple days either way of the start point (And usually fairly busy right at the end).  Oh well.

Got about three hours (at work) to finish nailing things down before I start @_@
