i didn’t do my camp nanowrimo today because i couldn’t think of any way to turn chrysalism into a story (but maybe i’ll think of something when it’s raining every day this week).
but i put at least 5k into the TSWFFTS rewrite

4,033 / 20,000 words
the word was mauerbauertraurigkeit and i did not actually finish this story because all of a sudden it was my autobiography and it kept calling me stupid and i didn’t know how to end it
3,565 / 20,000 words
the word was rubatosis and this was my favorite story so far.
2,779 / 20,000 words
the word today was la gaudière and this story was awful
2,273 / 20,000 words.
Today’s word was gnossienne and I think I was aiming for a story about a manic pixie dream girl but it was poorly executed.
1,414 / 20,000 words
The word was kenopsia and the 592 word story seems to be a zombie(?) apocalypse written in the second person. weird.
822 / 20,000 words
The plan is just to write a short story/flash fiction every day, so as soon as I finish, I can stop and work on other things. Unless I change my mind, I’m going to base each story off one of the made up words from Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows.
Today’s word was daguerreologue, but I really didn’t even touch the definition.
i know what i’m doing for April camp
I was thinking maybe I won’t participate this year so I can work on TSWFFTS (just getting it all together so I can get the free proofs I won in November), but APPARENTLY there’s flexible goals this time so maybe I’ll just do something small in April and then something bigger in July.

Scrivener and the NaNo website aren’t exactly lining up. Muh. They’re both over 50k, so. Scrivener says 50,067, so that’s what I’m going with. (NaNo is higher)
;-; the last bit i wrote is my babies getting married. feels everywhere.
i guess i’m done talking about this now
Something I’ve known a while about my stupid little story for awhile a long time actually:
(I’m not sure why I’m hiding it— it’s like, spoilers for a story no one will ever read)

I’m going to go exercise (bleh) and I might not be back before midnight so I’m posting it now.
I’ve realized that the alternate ending isn’t completely useless— having it, I realize exactly how much one event affected the whole ~canon~ story line.
Peoples
lives
are
ruined
because of this one event.
…Though, I can think of one person whose life is potentially ruined by the alternate ending.
But her life is sort of ruined in canon too, just… less so, I guess.
She can’t win.
Actually the regular ending is a lot sadder the more you think about it. Hm.

slowed down a little bit, but I’m ahead and even though I’m “slow”, I’m still getting more than the minimum. But I was getting close to 2k a day before.
I’m actually running out of plot in my now 23k alternate ending.
The alternate ending is forcing me to spend a surprising amount of time researching Princeton. Neat.
omg my alternate ending is officially more than 50% of what I’ve written this month.
43,082
:< I’ve kind of entered super fanfic zone for me, because in canon, both of my main characters would be dead by now (neither of them is supposed to survive high school— I’m writing them in college). creys.
Okay, over 19k of alternate ending
and a boatload of feels
