20264 words, eleven are repeating instances of chapter (obviously in german as a German in Germany writing in German...) added rough outlines to some of them and each got a working title (one is missing everything...)

Next goal fill out the blank one, get chapter two done, finally.

-Start chapter 3

- Deepen the lore of the involved parties and correct them if necessary in the other reference files
- Rework timeline according to the book (again).
- Iron out the unfitting stuff in the Who is Who file
- don't forget the flannel shirt in chapter two where does it come from ...
😅

Listened the whole day to the Computer Voice of Word to find mistakes in my two chapters...

Sad I'm back at word but this time I only use the word app and not anything else of MS...
Still Adropen Office is installed thanks to words inability to save in other document forms or revert them into workable text.
Andropen office still bugs out after a certain amount of changes and the dark mode is not working at all.
At least I am working on my stuff again...

And my AO3 account is online but so far I haven't done anything not sure what I can upload and what not so I will look into my older fanfictions and maybe share some of them but most likely not before Monday.

Sitting on Star Ryde again listening the three/four options for my solution on the main WIP trying to figure out what goes where.
Getting distracted by all kind of things ...
Still I want to get out that stuff out of my mind into the Draft.

Actually thinking that a series of smaller books might be better than one big. As the story takes shape it seems that even 14 chapters will "not be enough" for some parts of the story, can I even make single books out of one or two chapters??🤔

🇩🇪
Tatsächlich denke ich inzwischen das kleinere Bücher besser wären als ein dickes.
Während sich die Story langsam heraus kristallisiert wirkt es als wenn selbst 14 Kapitel "zu wenig" wären für einige Teile der Story, könnte ich es wirklich hinbekommen einzelne Bücher aus ein bis zwei Kapiteln zu erstellen?🤔

1 year ago, in November, the work on Star Ryde draft 000.001 started with the NaNoWriMo. I managed to write 10.000 words but didn't write regularly now SR the main Story sits at around 32.440 words including edit notes. Nice but annoying because if I had kept around 10.000 words a month I would have finished the sarn thing already, at least the current draft. This is why I aim for crazy goals this year 30.00 words no edit notes.

I'm November vor einem Jahr habe ich mit der Arbeit an Star Ryde Draft 000.001 begonnen. Im NaNoWriMo habe ich 10.000 Worte, habe aber nur sehr unregelmäßig geschrieben. Seither ist die Hauptgeschichte auf 32.440 inklusive edit notes gewachsen. Schön aber Nervig, hätte ich seither die 10.000 im Monat geschafft wäre Draft 000.001 wahrscheinlich schon fertig. Deshalb ist mein Ziel für diesen NaNoWriMo verrückter Weise 30.000 Worte keine Editnotes.

Okay here we go second day of the write month and I haven't written a word so far this means I have to get out a 2.000 words today to get my goal of 30.000 word on an even pace.😅
[Insert motivational scream here]

I am currently at 34.417 words for the WIP

Edit: Session one today 35.472 a plus of 1055 words.

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #WriteMonth

And the second session today starts with Word being unable to open the last edited version because something...

Could recover it with Andropen office (you bought yourself some points their trash app) and save it as an .doc which word luckily accepts without its AI shit and connection to KLO-Pilot.

But now it shows 300 more words than before... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh BTW I added the tag Anna Saultrons Write Month so people can mute my shenanigans here.

Ere we go.

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth

Word count now after session 2: 36520

Another 1048 words together with the 1055 from earlier today it's now 2103 at a goal of 2000 for today.
✅

And even better no further Editnotes.

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth

1.084 words on session one, my months daily goal is 1.000 words so I end up at another 30.000 words for draft 000.001

Overall word count 36.704. One word added to the edit notes, so basically 1083 words added to the story.

And I haven't even had breakfast yet. 😅
Hopefully I have time for a second session today.

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth

Wordcount after session one on the 04.11.25, the midnight to morning session: 37.757 so 1.053 words plus. Time to hit the bed.

Edit before breakfast session total count 37.997. 240 words more total count of the day so far 1293.

Something about my math or my word tracking doesn't works correctly...

It should be 38861 okay either my brain is buggy or Microsoft Word...
Or I made a wrong base calculation?

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth

Okay gotcha it must be something Microsoft related because according to Andropen office the WIP contains 46.139 words... Just a small difference from 37.997... of roughly 8.000 - 9.000 words...

I Okay gotcha it must be something Microsoft related because according to Andropen office the WIP contains 46.139 words... Just a small difference from 37.997... of roughly 8.000 - 9.000 words...

Edit Session 3 38.822 overall words according to word 2.175 words of 1.000 words aimed for.

I don't think that I will get any words done today anymore 1 hour remaining. It's okay though I had 2000+ written yesterday and maybe I can pull another 2000 again to bolster up towards my goal of 30.000 extra wird for the WIP.
I can loose a day (daily goal 1000 words) atm without loosing aim at my target.

Time to get rested soon.

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth

N7.11.2025

Only 821 words today and I missed yesterday entirely after not writing the day before, luckily I hit 2000 of the 1.000 I planed the day before, currently sitting at
39.703 words. If I had written constantly my plan was to hit around 42.000 around the N7.11.2025
So my target has to move up to 2300 word min. for tomorrow. Or splashing in another session today which I don't see tbh, if the plans work out, I really don't want to write in a Disco...😅

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth

Session one C8.11.2025
Words 525.
1675 to go.
The day flows like water while the words flow like a donkey that you treated badly so he decided to not cooperate...😅

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth D000.001

Well no success with writing... Had a trip to the ER thanks to what seems to be an food intolerance...
Yay...
just came home...
At least I wrote some words as I waited to be released...

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth D000.001

So a total crash out for the weekend and the last days I now sitting at
41.086 words not as much as I wanted but at least I am writing again and still the overall goal to reach 30.000 words this month is still on its way.
From 34.417 on the 2. November to now 41.086 is at least something.
Overall 6.669 and it's a soft goal of 30.000 for a reason.

Edit: 41.658 after session 2.

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth D000.001

14.11.2025

After midnight session overall word count 42.956.

A plus of 1.870 words.

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth D000.001

43.359 and all I created with this was a big logic gap/plot hole... It might work but not with such a gap like right now
....

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth

Just created 9 new characters that will not survive the chapter ... Well maybe one or two ...

Overall words 44.524.
A plus of 1.165 words.

Edit: 45.229 overall another 1.305 added...
Another night of sleepless writing...

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth D000.001

Current word count 46.950 a plus of 1.321 words. Far away from my goal and honestly at the moment I feel like cheating, looking through older and newer prompts I answered and simply copying or writing their concept down if I liked the answer and want to keep it somehow for a better character development... Ah well I said soft goal. But at least I guess I could soon move over to draft 000.002.
Goal reached would mean something around 72.000 words....
Their is a lot of fluff and bridging gaps missing but we will see.

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth D000.001

Current word count 47.400.

Edit 47.664... tar and bubblegum

Edit 2: 48.063

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth D000.001

Overall word count 48.468

3 days left and I'm not even close to 72.000 overall so yeah I guess my goal of 30.000 this month will not be reached but at least I'm writing. :D

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth D000.001

Not a single word in two days instead I wasted my spare time ruining my sleep schedule by "wasting my time" on a new brick Bild starship that looks like a knock of Voyager (it was planned to construct the Ghoz'Tarc, 45 hours total but I'm missing the pieces Fotos will come soon added to the other stuff threa) and some new DND characters.

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth D000.001

30.11.2025
Overall word count 48.846 session one. Hopefully I get a second session in.

Last chance today to get closer to my goal of 30.000 additional words... Currently the month has a plus of 14.429 words.

I also deleted some editnotes that are currently sitting in between.

Last year my goal sat at 10.000 words. What really took me out of the regulary daily writing was having to visit the ER and end of month my focus drifting entirely away from writing. Well the day is not over. We will see this evening if I managed to get a second session done.

Edit 3 49.782 ober all but I start do fall asleep
Will ad the number later today good night...
#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth D000.001

So the results of my writing month are here.
The goal was to get 30.000 words done. I knew this was ambitious so I settled it as a soft goal. Meaning it's okay to not reach it.

The finale word count done in November are 15.365. so yes I missed the mark by getting only half the output I wanted. However I also rewrote some parts in more details and deleted s lot of edit notes that are scattered around the draft.
Which decreased the over all word count (I simply took the words from the file and subtracted what I had at the beginning of the month).

So I guess the real value is somewhere closer to 20.000 words.
That said in both cases I reached higher counts as last year where I barely reached the target of 10.000 in my first writing month ever.
And I learned something about my self on the line.
I work best around midnight and sitting in my swinging/hanging chair.
Dialogue is super easy at first but hard later on ➡️

#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth

⬅️I am capable of writing daily around a thousand words. My main issue with the writing. Making decisions what gets into the text, and decide which road I want to follow.
I need to split the draft in the future making every chapter its own draft because I otherwise loose the oversight over the document.

Keep correcting stuff apart from writing, if you see a typo while typing fix it but do not fix older mistakes spontaneously in large quantities because it draws me away from writing.

Regardless of the word count I feel fine upping my last years output by 50% (or even 100%).
I need to stay focused on regular writing but make space for palette cleansing other creative outlets, like brick building, painting, or stuff in RPGs or video games that allow to create more than a story in my head.

TLDR: target not archived but still a massive win.
#StarRyde #SciFi #WIP #AnnaSaultronsWriteMonth #WriteMonth #WritingMonth

No actual progress in the WIP well one word this month so far but thanks to the Phantastik Prompts today I created some new animals which led to me finally finding a Name for the Antagonist Infernale and cementing their actual role in the WIP. How they relate to AJ how they are connected to Kira and the Ghoz'Tarc or the Union and also decided upon the role of the Eltaryn.
Their name is another reference to another if my beloved Franchises but their connection and name even made it possible to link them to my weirder unfinished stories like Cube world... It reframes a lot but still can work with my 3 (and the fourth) possible endings...

#StarRyde #AntagonistInfernale #Aya #Ayanami #AntagonistJunior #AJ #AriaeneJohnsen #SciFi #WIP D000.001

Rewrote some scenes today at least I'm working on the WIP again but how the heck did I end up with -182 words?

Probably the word count prior was off or is now. I mostly added more dialogue and made it clearer who ist talking at what point.

I only deleted minor parts that now where redundant since I moved the content around a bit ...

5 am in the morning... Not the best time to find out what riddles me...

Word count: 49.600
