I didn't realize I never posted this! (And yes, it is as bad as the rest, sorry.) ... Why are my chapters/segments so short, orz.

Nano 2008 project! Actually, I drew this...in November. Uhm. Just. Never properly scanned/cleaned. H-Hahaha.

( Even though I haven't even gotten to the desert part yet! )

Small scribbles on the pages are small, but uh. That's okay. No need to be read! Shhh. And I think these count more as "scribbles" than anything else, since I didn't even finish drawing anyone/thing, lulz. Oh well!

( Can't tell if it's modern or not. )

Ahahaha, another failed year, though at least this one saw more prolific days than last year. In fact, it looks like the output was tripled, lulz. Also, I got rather attached to this project this time (since I titled it and drew all the characters even), so I'll probably be slowly working towards finishing it. It'll be sad that it loses it's Nano tag, but it'll still be worked on nonetheless. I think that if I had ultimately stuck to the route/pace I had during the first week, I would've finished. [sigh] Well. Not a bad attempt this time around--in comparison to last year that is.

More installments and character sketches to be posted later. Fare thee well, Nano 2008!

I'm starting to wonder if I've somehow turned my protagonist into an icon of fail over the course of this project. Uhhh, I hope not. That was sincerely not my intention. Nor was the exceedingly slow development of plot and/or events. [facepalm]

H-Hahahaha. Yeah, long break/slump. Been busy! But sadly, going to be even more busy in the next week so I'm not sure how this is going to work out. At least I'm writing/working on this again? Wahhh, I really want to keep working on this, but it's so difficult to find the time. [sigh]

I'm not going to set up a word goal for tomorrow because I just have too much to do. I'll be lucky if I even get in 0.5k. :(

[retarded laughter] Oh man. I knew I'd fall out of my prolific habits, but I didn't think I'd fall out of it this badly. But it looks like a busy week up ahead, so I'll do what I can. I don't want to fail as miserably as I did last time. よし！　がんばります！

[A/N] Crappy attempts at French courtesy of alfaen's guidance. Other crap is completely my fault, sorry.

The word count is increasing, but seriously. The state of the plot is just getting increasingly retarded. Also, it's weird, but with the excruciatingly slow progress of the plot in general, I wonder if the story is doable in 50,000 words? That seems really strange, err. But being at the 20% mark in word count still doesn't match up to 20% of the plot. I. I guess I'll just write at a slightly faster speed. ;;

I still want to do character sketches too! My main character at least needs to have some images drawn of him.

Goal for Day 7: 2k → 14k.

Tomorrow was supposed to be my mostly class-free day but then I remembered I have a auto-show orientation and a scheduled lunch with my mentor, so a little lower word goal again. And then fun stuff in the evening! I'll attempt to get some scribbles in too if I can.

Just a little short of today's goal, but that was because I spent the entire morning doing absolutely nothing and then made a desperate scramble to catch up about two hours ago. Like really. The morning was spent completely just laying about in bed and sitting at the kitchen counter, chatting with my roommate about random stuff. Shhhh. It's a secret. But I will catch up tonight! ... Probably!

Goal for Day 6: 2.2k → 12k.

Just in case I have another instance of fail and loss of inspiration. Plus, there's more classes and clubs lined up for tomorrow. And now to make some dinner. L-Lol.
