4thewords has these events. Today is the last day of the “Love is in the Air” event so I wrote a lot to finish the quests. Technically so long as the monsters are in the battle queue I could have done the remainder at my leisure but I decided to make the effort and finish it. There’s lots of regular quests and monsters still to beat after all 🙂

Anyway, I wrote a bit of Choosing Fate. Finally after 25k Nikola got introduced (I had missed him) but then I started to struggle. In my planning notes I have that the three guys have a “battle of wits” and I’m not that smart, in any battle of wits I’m unarmed. So I decided to take a break and picked up the ‘AU of an AU’ again. I’ve almost finished that now, just got to finish off the last scene and boom, done.

Honestly I’m disappointed with myself. When I did my goals I said I wanted to finish Choosing Fate by the end of January, I doubly wanted to finish it when I decided I wanted to bench my original novella for a while (so I wasn’t trying to do both) but it still didn’t happen. I resolved that I definitely needed to finish it in February… and yeah that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen either 🙁

I miss NaNo. I really wish I could replicate that. I wrote Our Darkest Hour in a month and that’s what I wanted for Choosing Fate. Anyway, I guess progress is still progress. I’m persisting and that’s the main thing.
