Pic of the day: Realistic innocent teenager, from the anime Wind - a breath of heart.

Loser

I lost NaNoWriMo this year again, as I had realized for a while now that I would do. My throat has not healed, in fact it is about to get worse. On the bright side, working only half time means my arm is not too bad. I cannot subject it to the writing of several thousand words extra each day, though. So, I lost. Not that the novel was all that great anyway. But at least the characters seemed happy enough about the whole thing.

My cute rival Tsaiko won again, as expected. Although barely, since she slacked quite a bit at the end. Her story is also better, if you don't mind fairy tales with the other meaning of "fairy".

Will I continue writing on Sugar High School? Possibly, some day. It has a cute innocent atmosphere. But I guess one month of innocence is as much as I can tackle at a time ...

In the real world, teenagers think about sex at least once every five minutes, or so I read in Psychology Today. To be honest, I can't remember it was that frequently, but then again I am still single a generation later. I guess I am after all a very innocent person, contrary to what I thought back then. Just not THAT innocent. My next story is going to be more realistic in that regard. I know this because I have already started on it. Relax, it's not like I'll be writing it one-handed or anything. I may be a loser, but not quite that badly.
