AHHHHHH IT'S ALREADY NOVEMBER FIFTEEEEEEENTH o_o;; HOLY CRAP WHERE HAS ALL THE TIME GONE. Seriously, I have to say that this has been one of my better months, like, ever. A quick shout-out and HUGE thank you to ~PhithLeico, who even inspired this idea in the first place. I couldn't have done this without you. <33 Much love to you!

Anyways. Remember last week, when I said that I wanted to get to 30k words by the end of today? Yeaaaaaah. Uhm. I could if I really, really tried now and worked non-stop for the next three hours until I head to sleep, but that sounds really unappealing. <<;; Why does it seem so hard, one may ask?

Well, it's because I was stuck wearing -BLEEPBLEEPBLEEEEEEEEEEEP-ing wrist-braces all week and even THEY were not enough to let me type with ease. ><;; So I ended up actually slacking off all week, writing around 2.5k words in the span of Monday through Thursday before realizing how horrible behind I was and writing like mad on Friday, Saturday, and today, writing something around 7.5k words in three days despite my wrists.

I want to continue writing so bad right, but alas, I do not think it will happen. D': _{Effing wrists.} I want to really badly, though, since I freaking LOVE this NaNo! Those of you who have read my plot ramblings or looked at my (crappy) summary on the NaNo website can see that I am using my OCs for this story. In fact, I am using every single one of my FE OCs except for Jillian, Ewa, and Gainor. :3 I'm also using OCs incorporated from other stories and characters I'm making up on the spot _{(SIMON I FREAKING LOVE YOU AND YOUR SHOTA STUTTER)}. I have... somewhere around twenty characters.

So far, these characters have made appearances:
Alihi Kaua
Akihi Kaua
Ryuu Aelfgar
Amara Kaua-Aelfgar
Leto Kaua-Aelfgar
Dabir Shameah
Hanna Shameah
Yana Shameah
Bardolf Atmaja
Caitlyn Varnika
Endellion Atmaja
Simon Rivera
Gabriel Broadstone
Jacey Nyilas _{(flashback only)}
(Amara, Leto, Yana and Endellion are only very minimal and barely count, since none of them are above the age of three.)

So, as you can see, I've introduced about half my characters? ><;; And I'm only about to begin chapter seven, which marks one of these character's death...

... Of course, I'm not going to say who is going to kick the bucket first. <3 Oh, no, no, no! That'd be a spoiler, and spoilers are bad~! ;D

But anyways. I'm actually focusing more on characters I don't use as much, such as Bardolf, Caitlyn, Dabir, and Hanna. I'm using Akihi a ton as well. :3 And I LOVE THEM SO MUCH HOLY EFFING SHITFUCKS. After NaNo is done, expect more Bardolf, Caitlyn, Dabir, and Hanna stuff because they are turning out absolutely fabulously here! 8D I can't wait to get to some of the other characters, too... I'm just really, really pumped. <3

I do think I have to divide my original plans in half, so it's like two books. I've got... oh, about nine chapters planned out before I really delve closer to FE6 time and we get into the part where the true protagonist of the story begins to shine. At this rate, I won't get to that until, like, after the 75k word mark, estimating based on my word-count now that I need around 25k words to make six chapters _{(and a prologue)}. Of course, some of these chapters are going to be rather lengthy...

I could probably finish that by the end of 2009, but the other part, the FE6 time section? Yeah. I really have no idea how much I'll need for that. I have a general idea for that section of the story, so some chapters are really well-planned... but I definitely need to get a clearer idea of exactly what I'm going to do before I actually delve into it. Otherwise, I'll be left stumbling blindly, which eventually leads to my muse dying... Dx
The question is, do I save that for NaNo next year, or do I chip away at it from when I finish the first part until I finish it? I'm really keen on the idea of making a completely original story plot for next year, but I really want to finish this project, too. x_x;; Either way, I have to treat it as a different book. I'll figure it out later, I guess...

Hopefully, I can plow through three of the chapters this week, which will be major drama chapters and one chapter dedicated almost completely to allusion! 8D;; We'll see if school and my wrists allow me to... >>;;

Wish me luck! <3

_{If you would like to read my completed NaNo when it is... well, complete, let me know! I'll be posting it slowly on dA as well once it is finished. <3}
