NullNoMorePast couple of years I did daily stories for April. Not doing it this year makes me sad.
I need to think of something. I have a sort of plan but any suggestions?
Day one. If I do a tiny page a day, I might finish this short short story. #Apriltober2024
Day two. Still at the tavern, but the quest has been mentioned. So I guess Apriltober is go.

Day 3. Advantage of only writing on one side, besides filling the notebook faster: I can make notes/edits on the free side.
Day 4. Another page, and I think I've finished up being at the bar. I do like to go on endlessly about the set up. Battles tend to be: "And then they fought. Later, back at the bar..."
Day 5. No conversation and I am feeling itchy. Maybe I'll try describing landscape.
Day 6. Conversation sure does fill a page and make me cheerful. Somehow Garnet is developing into a bit of a gambler, and Owrn is a foodie. And I may need to fill my pen soon.
Day 7. Fresh ink in the pen, more conversation. I'm stalling because fight scenes need to happen. Ugh. Fight scenes. #Apriltober2024
Day 8. Garnet is 20 and not tactful. I think I know what happens next.

Day 9. I swear to god this is canon to the game. Andrew Lloyd Webfoot. I love this dumb little game.

Day 10. Action shot, and a side character named Piper. I named him, now I have to feed him. (Feed him to the wolves.)

Day 11. I dipped my pen in green ink and the change is wild. And attractive ngl. Part of me is horrified, part of me is struggling not to keep doing this nonsense. No, bad Null, chemistry is not my friend!!!!
Day 12. The pen is still writing slightly green. I may cave and clean it, to erase my shame. Or just write more fic. Battle scene ahoy (pray for me)

Day 13 is turning unlucky for the team. Frog down! Owen has a plan.
Day 14, short. I had forgotten Owen's plan from yesterday. Point is, everyone except the giant flying centipede is fine. Will be fine. Enjoy action shot!
Day 15. I left cheeky surprise notes in my notebook. Yes, past self, I finished the battle by then/now
Day 16-18. Take my word for it, I'm doing a page a day. The end is achievable if not yet in sight.
My brain: The Lord Mayor offers enticing rewards, you say?
Me: No
Day 19. Death of the internet etc., so I'm back to my mom's old thesaurus. First time in paperback! $1.75!
Day 20. Yippeeee I finished the story!
But what will I write about tomorrow? I may have a plan.
Day 21 & 22. The new plan: start a story for Xenoblade X, my beloved. I sketched out the first third over discord early this year, and now I guess I'll see how it ends.
Day 23. In my notes I wanted a pun but instead I get a bittersweet kiss. Sure, fine, be that way.

Day 24. Barely managed a page but things are connecting. San Pellegrino can for scale.

Days 25-27 Trust me when I say that words happened every day. Almost reached the moment when Lucky gets hurt. Sorry, dude.
Day 29-30. I went 30 for 30 writing words this month. Finished one story, about a third of the way in on another. I'm going to try this next month, at least until I figure out why Lucky got hurt by a rogue musical note.
