Oh hello! It is I, returning with another snippet and writing update. I met my GYWO goal this month, thanks in large part to the 50 kisses challenge and Untamed Fall Fest 2020. While my success was varied in these endeavors, I did write nearly every day in October, bringing my yearly total to 247 days of writing. I’m excited to keep going.
For this year’s NaNoWriMo, I set a personal goal of writing 20,000 words. In November, I’m also participating in a Jiang Cheng Love Fest, and I decided to write a longer story each week, rotating through my various ships for Jiang Cheng. For the first week, I’m writing Jiang Cheng/Lan Xichen in a modern AU fluff inspired by the manga Our Dining Table by Ori Mita — and OMG this book is the sweetest fluff I’ve ever read, so I highly recommend it.
I didn’t sign up on the main NaNo site but instead made a goal with my classroom Young Writer’s Project account. I have two students participating, and one of the kiddos is writing Harry Potter fanfic, and I am so stoked. I don’t think I’ll be able to read it since I think she’s writing it in Russian, but she was so concerned because she wanted to write something that wasn’t PG-13, and I was like, kiddo, you are writing this for yourself, not for an assignment, so you do whatever you want. I’m just eager to encourage future generations of awesome nerds.
If you are NaNo-ing, I wish you the best of luck. I hope this year is fruitful. And remember, some words are so much better than none words.
And now for my snippet, from my story “Love is Making its Way Back Home,” in which Lan Xichen meets young Jin Ling.
