this has been a lot of fun so far! my approximate stats so far:

• three thousand words of castlevania thoughts written
• one draft of a six-month-old story edited (very near its final state!)
• one story retooled and reworked entirely, then outlined

it doesn't look like that much when i write it out like that, but it's been a fair bit of effort and i'm very proud of it! i've been keeping a more detailed lostuwrimo journal, where i talk in depth about what i've done each day, but i probably won't post that, if only to avoid clogging people's timelines. i hope everyone who has chosen to participate is enjoying writing!! it's ok to not write a lot, or miss a day or two. it's just about building momentum and trying to keep it! good luck :3

1. the challenge will officially be called the Local Stuff Writing Month. there is no relation to the National Novel Writing Month. i am stealing the name scheme, though, so it will be called the lostuwrimo. because that's funny.
2. i must write something every day, and it cannot be shitposting on cohost or any other site. there will be a soft minimum of one hundred words, but if i have a really bad day and only get out a few sentences, then such is the way of things. 2b. it's worth noting that editing does count as writing, and writing is hard to measure in word counts, so, y'know, i might not always have numbers there
3. i will post a report of what i have been writing, uh, semi-frequently throughout the month. i don't think enough people care to be particular about doing it weekly or whatever but y'know.
4. i will post a vague description of what it is i have been writing. or i won't be vague but like y'know sometimes a girl's gotta keep her secrets
5. i will have something ready to present by the end of the month. ideally, multiple somethings-- i suspect multiple somethings will come to fruition-- but if ultimately only one thing comes out, again, such is the way of things
6. i will have fun :)

if you would like to participate in the LoStuWriMo (original cass creation) then go ahead! you could even tag it as such if you wanted. no pressure though this is primarily a thing for me to hold myself to >:3

i've been keeping a little journal documenting what i've written every day! i think it would be cool if others did the same, so it's obvious how much you wrote during the month! hopefully this can serve as a motivational tool both during and after november... you can look back and see what you've done and feel proud + know you're capable of keeping on!

i personally think i'll probably share my journal weekly, just for fun, but of course not everyone has to do that. i mean nobody has to do anything but like you get it
