NovMo24 (aka Kay is not Late but still Overmotivated)

Hey! *hyperactive waving*
AnotherCrowInRow here (it's long. I know it. You know it. So feel free to call me Kay), ready to dive into NovMo.
I got into NovMo, formerly known by the now long-buried name NaNoWriMo (sometimes I still hear their voice sending me emails because I forgot to unsubscribe) many, many years ago (which means I don't remember exactly when and I'm too lazy to try to figure it out. My best guess goes to third grade when dinosaurs still roamed the world). And this time I'm finally going to tackle a story that I love and want to be written.

Q/A Time For Which Literally No One Asked:

Genre of your project? Fantasy. I love fantasy. Also adventure. And crows. We should start counting crows as genre itself.

Did you do PlanMo? If you are asking me if I somehow made myself act like a good little planter, then yes. I KNOW I BETRAYED MY MORAL COMPASS BUT THE BADGES WERE SO PRETTY.

It is all going to be emotional and wild and chaotic and without nice templates and pure chaos and crow everywere? Yes.

Do you have a clue what are you doing? No.

What is the backstory of title for your little corner of NovMo? If you were in CampNaNo 2024, you know. If you were not, then lot of luck finding what the heck is going on here.

Note about today´s writing:

Spoiler

This was probably the craziest start to NovMo I've ever experienced. It helped me a lot that I spent more or less the whole day at home, since I have a cold. The weather outside was pretty nasty, so somehow I just had the whole day to just write, so to speak! I still don't understand how I managed to reach such a word count and I see that in the next few days I'll probably need a short break, but for now I'm happy with today!

For a moment he felt as if his legs were frozen in place.

No one has ever seen a crow above the island with the lighthouse, nor even two of them.

For claiming you don't know what you're doing, you sure do seem to know what you're doing!!
May your momentum last all month long!!

He stopped writing for a few seconds out of surprise, but his hand recovered from his misfortune faster than his heart, which lately he was beginning to doubt if it would be able to support him until retirement without having a heart attack in the meantime.

Gosh, these snippets always sound so different after I translate them into English...problems of people who speak more then one language, I guess.

@Carlito thank you for nice words But honestly, I have no clue how it is possible that I can write so much. Really. I just said to myself: I am gonna write a lot this month! and I live by that now

Notes about today´s writing session:

Spoiler

I haven't had much time to write lately - I'm writing a national four-subject test this Thursday (and then I'm writing an English language test from the same test on Monday) so...hey, I'm a bit school-oriented now, I guess.
