Yeah, I'm thinking Bard was right in wanting to read your story. I was laughing throughout that whole thing, and it definitely encouraged me to get writing again as well!
Nov 10th: 7065 words.
Managed over 5000 words today, yay! I've written the very last few lines, a random section from the middle (the end of a -very important- plot chapter), and the other 6250 words are the first 6250. As it is, I know where I can force filler into my story, so I'm almost planning to write from the end now. Once I've done that, I can fill in the gap with as much filler as necessary to reach 50000 words.
I'm pretty happy with some of the sections I've done, although it does get a little.. too descriptive at times. Not that that's necessarily bad from a story-telling PoV, but... I'm somewhat worried that things like this are coming from my imagination. Going into detail on how somebody has been tortured is not what I expected to be doing for this.
Also, I suck at creating names. I currently have Andrei Konin, Josef Teslov and Marius (Andrei and Marius are the main characters so far, Josef's been mentioned once, and the Emperors of Corina (home nation) and Gryon (enemy nation) have been mentioned a fair bit). I've left some random breaks throughout (a specific nonsense word, so that I can Ctrl+F to find all mentions of it afterwards) where the enemy Emperor's surname is to go, since I can't think of anything right now.
