What's the Update on "The Imaginary Magical Worlds of Jacquel Chrissy May"?

Well, I'm glad you asked that question, because I have a lot to go over. So let's begin!

Part one was called "So You Think You Can Handle This", which contains the stories The Asperger's Files, The Original Teen Rebels and Sheila Baines, All in One Death, Temmy & Venus: Rebels or Rockers, "The Spirit Keeper" and the Bible, The Dead Children Magical Universe, The Main Seven Tragedy, Why Imaginary Friends are Evil and The Doctor Mighty Theory. Those particularly heart-wrenching stories center mainly on child deaths and disabilities, as well as popular fan theories about stories I have written years ago, including some stuff that I had planned years ago and totally forgotten about.

Part two was called "Nostalgia Is Hazardous To Your Health", and it included the follow stories The MovieWatching Trio vs. Disney movies, A Historical Secret, The MTM Connection, The Truth about Logan Dara, Dicky Michaelson, and Andrea Marshall, The "Time-Blood Trilogy" and "Do You Remember" Connection, Harry Potter is a Lie, Did the Harry Potter movies cause the cancellation of "Away in England", Was Oriana Anastasia, and The Beldensville Theory. These stories serve as a reminder that nostalgia may be good in very short doses, it won't do you any good in the long run. The best way to deal with nostalgia is to let it go and stay in the present.

Well, I managed to complete two parts of the story, with the third part (And One More Thing) not being written yet. Of course, there's NaNoEdMo, in which you spend 50 hours editing a story. I hope to have this story ready soon.

Day 30 of NaNoWriMo 2016

OK, so I have one more word to write today and that word is...

"comment."

That's right. I have successfully made it to the end of the month, with just one word to write, making my word count 50,000 words!

*cue confetti cannons and fireworks*

Since I'm here, I want to thank the person who came up with the idea of reverse NaNoWriMo, as I couldn't have done it without them. I also want to thank everyone who has supported me on this endeavor, you all rock. Congratulations to all winners of NaNoWriMo 2016, whether you wrote 50,000 words or not.

With that, I bid you all a fond farewell and I'll see you in December.

Day 29 of NaNoWriMo 2016

It's the penultimate day of NaNoWriMo, and I have 116 words left to write. I wonder how did that happen, seeing as I haven't exactly been up to par with my writing. But I'm at the end of the second part of my story and with that, I can't really start with part 3 until NaNoEdMo, when I'm free to edit this story and explain what that story's about.

With that, I give you today's word count;

• Today's words written: 116
• Total words written: 49,999

Day 28 of NaNoWriMo 2016

It's Cyber Monday today and I confess that I've gone on a shopping spree on Amazon, buying as many books as I could, for free. As usual, I did my writing in the morning so I would have more time to shop online. Not to be a Boasting Betsy, but my word count is shorter than most people's. But I won't hold anything against you if you don't have 50,000 words written.

• Today's word count: 231 words
• Words count: 49,883 words

Day 27 of NaNoWriMo 2016

It's the last Sunday of November (and NaNoWriMo) and while most people are panicking with trying to squeeze their way to 50,000 words, I feel at peace knowing that the fewer words I write, the more my word count rises. I don't have to feel any pressure at all, save for when I have to write for at least 30 minutes.

Well, I'll be back tomorrow!

• Today's word count: 346 words
• Words count: 49,652 words

Day 26 of NaNoWriMo 2016

Thanksgiving weekend is here and NaNoWriMo is now winding down, but that doesn't mean you can stop writing. By now, you should have made some serious progress on your novel, as I have. (Plus, writing 461 words is nothing to sneeze at.) But I do realize that I am not done with my book yet.

In fact, I have Part 3 to write as well as the glossary and other things.

Well, safe to say, I'm almost there! Just a few more words and I will have reached 50,000! (This is the first time I've reached 50,000 without using any cheats, so I'm proud of myself in that regard.)

• Today's word count: 461 words
• Words count: 49,306 words

Day 25 of NaNoWriMo 2016

Now that Thanksgiving has come and passed and the holiday shopping season is starting, I realize it's important that I don't get caught up in the holiday madness if it can be helped. Which means (with great difficulty) that I have no choice but to ignore Black Friday and focus solely on NaNoWriMo.

And it shouldn't be too hard to do that because I only have 576 words to write today. (See how quickly time flies when you have done the most hard work at the beginning of the month? It gets easier every day. I think I might do that with all my stories and see how far I get.)

Anyway, I really need to get back to writing, as these words aren't going to write themselves. I'll be back tomorrow!

• Today's word count: 576 words
• Words count: 48,845 words

Day 24 of NaNoWriMo 2016

It's Thanksgiving Day, and I'm feeling the pressure. Its moments like this when I'm glad I used Reverse NaNoWriMo because if I didn't, I would NEVER get to where I'm supposed to be!

Anyway, I have written 690 words and with that, I'm off to watch movies and eat dinner. Yet I really wish I could end my story with these words: "And so, in the year 2020, America was turned into a benevolent constitutional monarchy with Gregg Porter as its king and Joseph Houston as the prime minister. Donald Trump died of a heart attack, but no one cared. Gobble gobble!"

• Today's word count: 690 words
• Words count: 48,269 words

Day 23 of NaNoWriMo 2016

It's the day before Thanksgiving and on this blog, one author is struggling against the distraction known as he holidays.

Well, I don't like being distracted, as distraction has cost me many years in writing and other things. If I have learned anything from my years of unsuccessful NaNoWriMos, it's that I can become so distracted that I refuse to sit down and actually WRITE.

But not this year; this year, I fully intend to set aside an hour or two and actually get stuff done. And I have done that by managing to write 805 words, bringing the total word count to 47,579. I say maybe I should finish NaNoWriMo tomorrow, but I'm not pushing it.

• Today's word count: 805 words
• Words count: 47,579 words

Day 22 of NaNoWriMo 2016

It's week 3 of NaNoWriMo and I'm feeling the pressure to write when I want to do other things. At the same time, my word count is rising as the number of words I'm writing shrinks.

Case in point:

Today, I have written 920 words, and my word count is now 46,774 words. I'm wondering how did THAT happen, seeing as how three weeks ago, I was writing over 3,000 words a day.

Where did the time go?

Who knows?

• Today's word count: 920 words
• Words count: 46,774 words

Day 21 of NaNoWriMo 2016

Week 3 of NaNoWriMo is over and I'm glad, since my book is starting to take shape. But I realize that now that I'm here, this will be the last day I write over 1,000 words. After that, it gets easier, since I will only be writing under 1,000 words for the rest of the month.

This is usually the time when I slack off, so to speak. But since the competition began, I haven't done much slacking off, but distractions are still evil.

• Today's word count: 1,035 words
• Words count: 45,854 words

Day 20 of NaNoWriMo 2016

Well, there's 10 more days to go in November, so this is the time where I usually start to slack off. It doesn't get really bad until the 21st or the 22nd, but when I slack off, I end up doing other things that aren't NaNoWriMo related. (And when I do, I usually start another story or delete the entire thing and start over. I never really just stick to the story, as it were.)

Well, not this time, seeing as I'm using Reverse NaNoWriMo and it's keeping me on track. I can't afford to slack off, not if I want to win this competition fair and square.

• Today's word count: 1,150 words
• Words count: 44,819 words

Day 19 of NaNoWriMo 2016

As I'm creating many silly stories that could have a dark side to them, I wonder how many people will believe those stories are true. After all, the book is actually a satire on everything pop culture related and it causes me to see how I really see the world of pop culture. I can't say I don't like where everything's going right now, but I know how it's all going to end someday.

• Today's word count: 1,264 words
• Words count: 43,669 words

Day 18 of NaNoWriMo 2016

Well, while I'm looking back on what I've written (and tearing up parts of the story and rewriting them to make them fit), I realize that there's no way I'm going to finish the book by the end of the month. It's just not going to happen. I mean, even with the decreasing word writing, I can't squeeze everything into one month, no matter how hard I try. But that doesn't mean I can't try.

• Today's word count: 1,379 words
• Words count: 42,405 words

Day 17 of NaNoWriMo 2016

Now that I'm here, it's getting easier for me to write, even if I inevitably delete and rewrite every last word in every paragraph. (which is a bad habit I need to break if I want to be a professional writer.)

With that, I shall give you the word count of the day:

• Today's word count: 1,494 words
• Words count: 41,026 words

Only less than 10,000 words to go!

Day 16 of NaNoWriMo 2016

It's been 24 hours since Halfway Day, and now that I'm more than halfway done with the word count, things have gotten easier since November 1, when I had a fun time trying to write 3,346 words in one day.

Well, I have to get back to writing, as this story isn't going to write itself.

Today's word count: 1,609 words

Words count: 39,532 words

Day 15 of NaNoWriMo 2016

Guess what today is? It's Halfway Day!

It's November 15, 2016, and if you're still writing for NaNoWriMo, you're halfway there! Well, it doesn't matter how many words you wrote; all it matters is that you’ve been writing for 15 days.

Don't forget you still have another 15 more days to write. Plus, you can't forget about Thanksgiving and Black Friday, so be careful how of you spend your time. The second you slide off track, you won't be able to catch up.

Today's word count: 1,724 words

Words count: 37,923 words

Total word count from November 1 until now: 38,623 words

Day 14 of NaNoWriMo 2016

On the day before halfway day, I'm sidelined by a cold. I hate getting sick, because that can cost me a single day. (I've been through enough of those!)

Plus, I had to put the glossary in a separate column and make up fake news articles in the stale grapes news, which are always funny in a weird sort of way.

Despite that, I managed to write 1,838 words today, bringing my total word count to 36,199 words. How many words have I written in two weeks? 36,899 words. Now that wasn’t so hard, wasn’t it?

Day 13 of NaNoWriMo 2016

Week 3 of NaNoWriMo is here, and I have once again crashed and burned, inevitably. I realized that I might have pushed myself a bit too hard and rewriting sections of the story that I don't like. I really hope I can get this story under control soon.

Today's word count: 1,953 words

Overall word count: 34,361 words

Day 12 of NaNoWriMo 2016

As I've already written on my other blog, today I crashed and burned. I guess it was inevitable, seeing as I had pushed myself way too hard. Writing is supposed to be enjoyable; the second you treat writing like a chore, it becomes painful.

And I've done that enough times already.

Anyway, here's the word count for the day: 2,068 words, which brings the total word count to 32,408 words. As the second week of NaNoWriMo ends, I should be proud of what I’ve done so far, which is what I have never done before.
