NaNoWriMo Post: The final countdown, help us all.

Hello my fellow wolves!

So I'm returning here to give you all a update on NaNoWriMo and let me tell you something important because I think you may take this to heart if you are a student like I am. NaNoWriMo is hard as all living hell!! School will kick your sorry butt into the curb till you will become brain-dead once all of the major school you have done is completely. Don't get me wrong, going to college will help you get somewhat further in life and I'm not bitching about that, but after dealing with so much crap and school work, it makes writing fairly difficult. I will tell you know, I am really surprise to be at 26k right now and I truly didn't think I would get that far this year in school, but hell if I lose this year's event, I will be happy to be where I am at now than to never start it from the get-go.

Since we are nearing the end of the event, I bet all of you are speed demon writing like I am just to get to a high ass word count. As a writer, I will push you and tell you to keep going because after writing for a certain amount of time, you will develop the urges to keep writing even when you can't because of life in general. The urge is strong I tell ya, it's crazy. If you are doing well, then congrats you're kicking ass, but if you're like me and are lacking, it's okay, keep trying even if you don't have the emotional and mental energy to do. I'm telling you, this event will make you grow as a writer. I promise. If you keep trying, things will get you far in writing.

In other relatable news, I've decided to try out book-tubing next year. I'm sort of figuring out, what better way to try to meet writers/readers than by doing that. I've always wanted to try it, but never had the guts to do it (plus I'm not that pretty to stare at..). But, considering I am going to be done with my second-to-last semester of my senior year in college, I'm starting to warm up to the idea of book-tubing. When I watch the other book-tubers like Polandbananasbooks, katy-tastic, etc and authors like Susan Dennard-- I get so excited because of the way how they are able to geek about books and other things freely without the bitter judgments. In a way, I feel like I need to start making a impact in literature and give out my opinion as a repayment to other writers and readers that want to explore the world that fiction and art can give us.

But yeah, that's all for now. Till I get things set up, I will be posting the links to share and get some stories prepped up for you guys on watt pad as well.

Till next time, guys.

Happy howling!
