All right, so I have some strange fandom stuff I want to say, but it will involve heavy spoilers for Mo Dao Zu Shi...and also for Hamlet, in case anyone happens to stumble across this blog after having arrived from another planet and/or the distant past and therefore doesn't know the plot of Hamlet. (If any such aliens/reverse-isekai-protags are reading this, give it a read! Widely regarded as one of the greatest works in Western literature, and also very short, as it's a play and therefore can be performed in about...well, I think the runtime on the movie of the entire play was something like three and a half hours?)
Anyway, my point is just that I'm going to put my NotNaNo update at the start of the post today instead of the end. Because spoilers.
So, in terms of my writing today, it was actually pretty disappointing. I really wanted to hit 50k today. It's the 15th, the halfway mark, so I have no excuse not to have written that much already! But somehow I never seem to manage it quickly in NotNaNo, unlike real NaNo. 🤷🏻♀️ But I've been having trouble finding a comfortable sitting position for writing for the past few days (that was one of the contributing factors to my low total the last two days), so I've had to be working at a makeshift standing desk and it's pain-inducing for my back, plus the table shifts sometimes and I have to catch it before my laptop can fall, and generally I have more trouble forcing myself to write in this position, but sitting just wasn't going to happen, so combined with a really unpleasant next scene, it was just a "yeah, no" situation.
Total words in the work: 298,674
Words written today: 3,660
Words written in November to date: 48,674
Pretty version:
Anyway, now, the other thing I wanted to talk about, which I decided to put after my word count because it gets into MDZS fandom stuff and involves heavy spoilers.
I think I've figured out a way to do the "read more" line like I used to be able to do on Wordpress, so I'll put that below here...
