November was a pretty good month in 2020 standards. I did some fun stuff and had a successful NaNoWriMo!
What I Did
1.) At the time of writing this post (which is last minute due to holiday XD) I’m at 47,000 words in NaNoWriMo for In Darkest Starlight! 😀
2.) I sent off my college application and am waiting to hear back. I’ve also been doing some game nights at a friend’s nice which is has been fun. I played Yahtzee for the first time and got a Yahtzee! I also watched some programs from my library about Native American Heritage month and learned some really fascinating facts about the Cherokee here in Georgia.
I had a good Thanksgiving with family and lots of yummy food. ^ ^
3.) I finished reading Timescape by Robert Liparulo and I’ve started Charlie and Glass Elevator by Roald Dahl and The House of Hades by Rick Riordan!
4.) Since this clay figure has been received I can show you one of my clay sculptures. This is Seteth from Fire Emblem: Three Houses!
The Geeky Department
1.) I’ve been watching the Mandalorian and really enjoying it! I love that the Clone Wars characters are being incorporated!
2.) Speaking of the Clone Wars I’m finally getting to watching the Lost Episodes and the Final Season and man, stuff is getting real. XD So many emotions!
3.) I also got Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity! The gameplay is really fun, and I like how it’s filling in a big gap in the story from Breath of the Wild!
4.) I’m going strong with Animal Crossing: New Horizons and I loved all of the late fall recipes so much! The Mushroom and Maple Leaf furniture are so cute!
What I’m Going to Do
1.) I’ve reached the end of my story and I’m going back and adding some little backstory parts, so I may finish those in December then in the New Year work on the much-needed rewrite. XD
2.) I’m going to wait on my college application, visit my good friend, and enjoy the holidays with my family. I’m hoping to see some fun Christmas lights. <3
3.) I’m going to finish the two books I mentioned before and I’d like to start Whirlwind by Robert Liparulo.
4.) I may be sculpting another figure for a friend’s birthday. I’m debating. XD

That clay sculpture is adorable! I’ve been loving the Mandalorian and Animal Crossing too. I need to play more though.
Congrats on so many words!
Oooooo! Now I want to see your island. XD Do you have a Dream Code?
I’m so glad you had a wonderful November!
My little brother wants Age of Calamity SO bad. XD I’ve yet to beat Breath of the Wild though. >.>
Your clay figure looks amazing!!! ^_^ You are so talented!
Both games are so good! Have you played any other Legend of Zelda games?
Aw thank you!
I’ve played and beaten Twilight Princess and I’m currently playing Skyward Sword. I tried playing Majora’s Mask and Ocarina of Time but could never really get into them. We have Windwaker but I haven’t played that one yet.
What Legend of Zelda game is your favourite?
Twilight Princess! How about you?
Oooh! I played Twilight Princess when I was 13 so it’s been a while, but it’s kept 1st place on my favourites list. Breath of the Wild and Skyward Sword tie for second though. 😉
I love the voice acting in Breath of the Wild! Do you have a favorite character? Mine is Mipha. <3
Yes! The voice acting is amazing! ^_^ That is a tough question because I like a lot of the characters, but if pressed, I think it would have to be Zelda. ^_^ I love the flashback scenes! Mipha is a really great character and I love how her voice actor portrayed her. <3
Zelda is a great pic! I love her character arc! Mipha’s voice is so precious. <3 Is this your favorite version of Zelda’s character?
I don’t know, lol. It’s hard to choose between Breath of the Wild Zelda and Skyward Sword Zelda. XD But I think BW version will become my favourite once I beat the game and play Age of Calamity. 🙂 It’s probably just me, and it might be weird, but for some reason BW Zelda gives me Kingdom Hearts vibes and Kingdom Hearts is my all-time favourite video game series. <3
Haha she does give Kingdom Hearts vibes! Kingdom Hearts is an amazing series! Do you have a favorite of those games?
Yay! Another KH fan! *high-fives* I love all of the games and until KH3 came out my favourite was KH2, but now it’s KH3. ^_^ Which game is your favourite? And do you have a favourite character?
*high-fives back* I love Birth by Sleep. <3 I love Namine, King Mickey, and Ventus. It’s hard to choose one. XD
Birth by Sleep was SO good! And nearly made me cry my eyes out. 😉 It IS so hard to choose just one! Those three are great! I love Axel, Kairi, Riku, and Sora. ^_^ (Though, my list of favourites changes almost daily, lol.)
I love the Simple and Clean remix for the beginning! 😀
Yes! The songs are so pretty and I can listen to them on repeat all the time! 😃 My favourite song is Don’t Think Twice. 🙂 I also love Dearly Beloved. But Simple and Clean will always have that favouite nostalgia feel to it. I’ve been playing these games since I was five, lol. 😅
Oh I love Don’t Think Twice too!
I actually didn’t play them all the way through until two years ago. XD
I’m so glad you had a lovely Thanksgiving! And EEEE!!! You’re so close to the NaNo finish line! AAAAHHHH!!! *sends motivational cookies* Almost there!
I do hope you have a wonderful rest of November and FANTASTIC December! <3
Haha thank you! I hope you have a wonderful Holiday season too!
