November Wrapup

Ayyyyyy!!! How's everybody doing? I'm still in the potato mode after the end of NaNoWriMo, and to make things worse I've had a cold, so that doesn't help my lethargy hehe.

So, what did I do in November?

Writing
Well, um, I participated in NaNoWriMo? So I did a lot of writing? My finishing numbers were 57,814, which is not as much as I thought it might have been, but it's likely to get longer in editing, so that's just fine. I did manage to keep up ok in the end, which is good. 😊


Aside from that, I did zip writing, to no one's surprise.

Art
So I'm trying to learn to draw in the manga style so I can do my comics better. I got a few books out of the library, and they're helping a lot! I just have to learn how to do it without the books and straight out of my head instead...

So here's a page of random stuff I did out of the books.



And here's a schoolgirl model I did, also from the books. I feel like it actually turned out ok! *proud*



Blog Stuffs
As you may or may not have seen, I didn't do too much on the blog in November, mainly due to all the words I was writing on a daily basis anyway, so we have all of four posts! I'll link them all here:

An Introduction To My NaNoWriMo WIP (the most popular of the four)
NaNoWriMo Update
Presenting the NaNoWriMo Humor Sketches!
and
How To Write Beautiful Worlds as Told By Studio Ghibli

Normal Life

Honestly, in normal life, there isn't much to report for November. I went to Starbucks to write with my sister, which was fun. Actually, I had a ridiculous amount of Starbucks and other various coffee and junk in November. Oops! 😂

We had Thanksgiving with my mom's family, and we ate way too much food and played Scattergories with my aunt and grandparents.


Well, that's my wrapup post for November. How was your November? Did you participate in NaNoWriMo? If you did, how did it go? If not, what writing stuff did you do? I wanna hear about it! So drop me a comment and I'll be sure to reply!

See you on Tuesday with another post!

      Unfortunately no because it needs SO much editing, but I want to get working on that asap.

      I am thinking of doing some short stories with my protagonists (I already have some put together) and posting them here though!

12 Underused Creatures and Animals in Fantasy

Image
Photo by  Антон Воробьев on Unsplash Look look! Another series! It'll probably be pretty short since I can only think of fantasy, sci-fi, and realistic fiction to involve in a series about underused creatures, but if you have another genre I could do, please comment and tell me because I would LOVE to expand this series! It is one of my favorite things in the world to think outside the box and do things that other people haven't done yet. And using creatures that no one else has used yet has been a big deal for me ever since I started writing. Heck, people didn't use the internet a ton just yet, so I would go fishing through the dictionary and encyclopedia to find a creature no one had used yet so I could use it. Or other times I would just make up something weird and give it a name.  Here's a list of the fantasy creatures/animals you've probably heard of, written about, and/or read about. Elves (one of the most common tropes, but how I love them) Fai

10 Underused Historical Settings in Fiction

I've already done  10 Underused Concepts in Sci-Fi  and  12 Underused Creatures in Fantasy (click the titles to go to the posts), now it's time for historical fiction to get the spotlight. I don't write a lot of historical fiction myself, but I know there are a lot of historical fiction writers out there! These settings can also be used in a historical sci-fi novel, in a steampunk novel, or even for a fantasy setting. So this is applicable to almost everyone! So on that note: Idea list: activate! The Great Depression. I know that writers like to stray away from talking about people who are broke, on hard financial times, or homeless. It makes people uncomfortable. Well, you know what I say? Good . If you want to make a change, you're gonna make some people uncomfortable. You could write an excellent sci-fi novel based on the next depression that hits the future, or a fantasy world that is hitting hard times. Mesoamerica. Me! Me! I've done this! Whet

Villain Motivation Ideas Taken From History

Image
Not all villains are works of the imagination. And not all villains are as completely inhuman as we might prefer to think. Some people that we consider to be very, very bad had what could almost be seen as good reasoning behind their actions. Their deeds may have been bad, but maybe the thoughts from their heads can be used to tell some incredible stories. So here's four villain motivations taken straight from history. Changing the wording. (Hitler) Let's just get this guy out of the way first, shall we? Hitler and his Nazis are known across history to be some of the evilest people ever to exist. If someone's trying to think of a really evil person to use as an example, the name they settle on is normally Hitler's. And don't get me wrong. Hitler was a very, very bad man. But the thousands of people who followed him did not start off thinking the same way he did. They were carefully primed before they were commanded to help him in his dirty work. Hitl
