Day 8 (01/11/2025) : Word Count 5,019, Total : 28,886

Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends and Neighbours, Boys and Girls, Kids and Kidlings and everyone who I may have left out because I am on somewhat of a high right now :)

Words Today : 5,502

Total Words : 90,050

But more to the point, "Lost in a Galaxy Far, Far Away" is finished.

29 days after I started it, it's complete.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

Sorry. But as I said, I am on somewhat of a high, because YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

There is the editing to be done, but it has come out almost exactly as I wanted.

Would it be wrong to go YAAAAAAAAAAAAY again?

So once again I've run into a problem. It seems this year has just decided to screw me both ways at once.

When I export the story from WriterSolo, it converts to Word. And when I paste that into Archive Of Our Own, it screws up the formatting - doesn't centre the dialog/character setting. Which is more than a tad annoying (grrrr! argh!!!!)

So the posting of the story is going to be delayed more than a little - I think it will be at least two weeks until it's ready, because it's 450 pages or so.

LOST IN A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY#

"Tell me a story" Tiamora looks up at her older sister Morotia "Tell me a story about good and evil, and heroes and villains"

"Okay little sis" She smiles, then glances through the door to where her mother and mum are having dinner with their best friends "A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away......"

A sequel to last year's Nano Project (The Wave) and a follow up to what has been called by many (well - by me) the greatest fanfiction of all time "Lost In Middle Earth", "Lost In A Galaxy Far, Far Away" retells the story of Anna Skywalker and her relationship with three women who would change his life, and the lives of everyone in the galaxy - The Queen, The Jedi Knight and The Chancellor.

An epic tale spanning decades of history - this is Star Wars like you've never seen it before.

Day 22 (15/11/2025) Word Count 3,766, 65,788

Fun and exciting day today as I changed from WriterSolo to Trelby. It's made it a bugger to update the word count (Trelby doesn't do that) but WriterSolo is not good with saving properly - it's a nightmare.

So It's not yet actually NaNo and I've got into the second act of the story. Which is more than I thought I would.

Today was less than I planned, but I went to see Back to The Future (which was fun) and there were other problems that took up A LOT of my day which meant a lot less writing.

Hopefully I can get back on track over the weekend :)

Day 15, Part 1 (8/11/2025) - Word Total 48, 882

I've written a bunch of stuff and reached the end of Part 2 (Attack of the Clones) so I'm taking a break. I'll carry on after a nap and tea, and then edit this to update it with Day 15, Part 2 and the count and the total.

Also I've switched back to WriterSolo because Trelby was just bugging the crap out of me.

Day 15, Part 2 (8/11/2025) Word Count 6,405, Word Total 49,953

Day 1 (25/10/2025) : Word Count 2884, Total 2884.

I'm writing basically a weird stream-of-consciousness fictive journal. I'm trying to flesh out the backstory and setting of the indie game project that I'm trying to get started (and hope to get the game design document to some kind of a workable state by the end of the year, so I can begin actual development of stuff). This writing month project is basically the idea journal and assorted philosophical ramblings of the main character of the game.

Not sure how frequently I'll be commenting, but I hope more often than last year (which was basically nothing).

November 3rd, 5204 words so far, just getting this rambling machine started. I literally have no plan, just trying to get to this character's headspace at this point. So far, it's been interesting, and I hope to take this into some strange directions. (Though, I wonder how strange directions are there still left to explore after today's weird sunflower rant. Well, we'll see!)
