For those who don't read Roman numerals, this is Random Raves #46.
The six-figure number in this thread title is not random. It's the total number of words I have (in four separate files) that I've done for my NaNoWriMo projects since November 1, 2018. Most of those words are for my Kingmaker: Rise to the Throne project (novelizing the computer game and expanding the story). The rest are for a different game novelization project (Park Ranger) that got stalled last November due to writer's block. There are many more words handwritten in a notebook and on numerous scraps of paper that I haven't typed yet. Since November 1, I have not gone a single day without writing something to add to my stories. It might be thousands of words, or only a single sentence. But they've grown, from blank pages to what they are now.
One thing that all these years of doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Competition, which is really international) has taught me is that stories - any story - happens one word at a time.
Life happens one action at a time, whether that action is big and noticed by many, or small and unassuming and only known to the person who does it. Sometimes the action in question is just the simple act of breathing. No matter what, it happens one at a time.
Spoiler Old threads here! :
