How Ichimatsu Celebrated His Birthday This 2024!

May 24, 2024

⏰ 12:05am

あ……えっと、、聞こえて…る……？ あいつらは寝ちゃったんだけど、おれはちゃんと起きてたよ。 おれたち、誕生日おめでとう。 じゃあ、おやすみ。（一松）

Ah...uhmm, can you.. hear me...?

The others have fallen asleep, but I'm wide awake.

I wish us a happy birthday.

Well then, goodnight. (-Ichimatsu)

⏰ 3:00pm

昨日夜更かししてたから、、まだ眠いんだよね・・ みんなはあのあと眠れたの…？ 今日は誕生日だし、せっかくだから猫たちに会いに来たら、みんないつもの場所に集まってくれてた。でも、猫じゃらしはもう飽きちゃったみたいで、猫が好きなおもちゃでおすすめなものあったら教えて。（一松）

I'm still sleepy.. because I was up late last night...

Did you all go to sleep after that...?

Today's our birthday, so I went to see the cats and they were all gathered in the usual spot. But, it seems like they've gotten tired of the cat teaser. If you guys have any recommendations for toys that cats like, please let me know. (-Ichimatsu)

⏰ 10:00pm

今日はみんな、おつかれさまでした。おれも猫とたくさん遊んで疲れたから、もう寝ようかな。 みんなも早く寝て。おやすみ。（一松）

Thank you for your hard work today everyone. I'm tired too after playing with the cats a lot, so I think I'll go to bed now.

You guys go to bed soon too. Goodnight. (-Ichimatsu)

Novella November 2024 Announcement Post

Hate AI, but love writing challenges?

Want to take part in a global, fun project to write a Novella in one month?

Grab some friends, and take part in Novella November, by writing 1,000 words a day for the month of November, ending with a 30,000 word Novella to test and stretch your novel-writing skills!

Your goal is not perfection, but merely getting into the habit of writing a litte bit every single day :D

No website, no sign-ups -- Just a community initiative to write using only your own word!

What are the rules? Just Three so far!

#1 - No AI

#2 - No Plagiarizing

#3 - Wordcount for the month should only come from what you write during the month.

What does that mean?

Only words written during November should go towards your Wordcount for the month... but! Feel free to use your 30k words as a continuation of previous writing, or just make it the first 30k words in a longer novel!

Don't think you can write a whole entire 30k word story? Write a series of short stories that total up to 30k!

Not ready to write original works yet? Write a 30k word fanfiction that you can post after the month is over!

Share your writing experience, tips, encouragement, and questions in the #Novella November tag!

---

EDIT, from the tags: Want a progress tracker? Track your progress with TrackBear!

https://trackbear.app/

Don't have a word processor? Use LibreOffice , the free and open-source alternative to Microsoft Word!

Want to organize/storyboard your Novel and don't want to pay a subscription? Try 7writer by Simon Haynes!

Want to be able to listen to your story aloud for proofreading using TTS (text to speech)? Try Balabolka!

Or, create some custom progress / Goal Cards in advance you can fill out as you reach word goals! For ideas and templates, search this blog for "goal cards" :D

Want to do a writing challenge in more than just November? Check out my ideas here for year round challenges to keep you writing consistently! Got feedback? Send it in, I'd love to see everyone's ideas!

---

EDIT 2: I almost forgot to mention, if you are unable to write/type your story, you can also narrate/dictate your story to your preferred recording device!

If you're doing a Recording only and it doesn't automatically generate a transcript, it would obviously be hard to judge the word count -- but you're also working with a lot of obstacles, so I'd say if you're able to complete your story via voice recording from start to finish, you've definitely achieved the goal!

Edit #3: added the title "Novella November 2024 announcement post" to the top to make it more standard with my Ominous October and Drabble December posts (will be updating Outline October shortly) , added "Official Announcement Post 2024" to the tags so people can easily find the monthly events for 2024, and added a bit of bold to the third bullet point in the original post from September 2nd 2024 for emphasis.

I was going to put the background as wulian but then I realized it also applies to Xie Lian as a scrap collector, banished god, etc., and not just him in the calamity arc, so I just chose a regular picture of them

We hope you are staying cool during this hot summer. The sunlight is so strong that it could turn you into a dried fish, but the young people of this region seem to be used to it.

Don't forget to take precautions against the heat and enjoy the summer!

Having an extremely beloved canonical AroAce character accused of suppressing important emotions is EXTREMELY BAD.

Saw something about Hua Cheng always being able to sense his ashes so he can always sense Xie Lian and I just think it adds a hilarious take to him giving Xie Lian his ashes. Like yes it’s a beautiful and romantic ghostly tradition but there is something so funny about him given them to him the moment he has to leave so he doesn’t lose him again after 800 years of searching like someone tagging a bird to track their migration habits. He is not taking no fucking chances.

"Mark." "Yeah?" "I would like to leave the building now."

And Helly has never gotten to leave the building, not once. Because even during the OTC her body was still trapped there. Because Helena doesn't get to leave either. Because it's a prison for both of them. I'm normal
