Up until today I've never had any trouble with my EUIV Japan games. Today I got stomped five times in a row before even uniting the country.

Bio

I'm a weeaboo communist. Are you surprised?

EDIT: You probably are now, but I'm not going to tell you why you wouldn't have been like two years ago. You get to agonize over that yourself.

36,754 words total for today, and I've gotten to the point where the reader discovers that my story isn't going to be ENTIRELY internal struggle and nice moments between two main characters. They learn this because China moves a giant fleet into waters claimed by Japan, this setting off an international crisis which will eventually lead to the short-lived Third World War. Except this time it's short lived because peace prevails, not because the world as we know it comes to an end in nuclear hellfire. It'll be fun to figure out how the alien reacts to learning that the country that's taking care of her is right next to an extremely powerful country that they're at war with.

It's kind of fun to read these posts and see what everyone else is doing with their novel. I focused mine around character interaction with a romance plot that takes a while to heat up. And then the subplot of the whole thing is a game of spies and political intrigue that could cause WWIII. So I basically just took how fictional stories in general are written, and then flipped it upside down and went with that.
Got to 35,250 today. I really, truly cried for the first time in my time writing this novel today. And for once, it wasn't because I'd written something sad. I also will not be nearly done with my novel at 50k words, there's still so much more to write, so much more to add to the story. I don't even know if I'll make it to the climax by the end of this. Today was a good day. I am a happy person right now.

At 33,382 words, I realized that I had been writing about the refugee crisis this whole time without even knowing it. So I'm just gonna roll with that. In other news, MC has actually grown a personality, while MC #3 is having a nice little internal struggle. MC #2, meanwhile, is just having a lot of fun anticipating seeing the stars twinkle for the first time in her life.

The United States Navy, of course, is having a lot of fun in their staring contest with the Chinese.

So basically, I can kill anything with my bare hands without a scratch. So long as it isn't fully covered in armor or a Starfish Alien.

Well, while I don't have the time to compose some encouraging words (must... keep... writing...), I felt like I had to share this quote with y'all.

What am I seeing here? He thought silently to himself, too impressed by the feat of organization to speak. Or perhaps just too stunned by the fact that the perfectly normal man who had been trying to sleep during a helicopter ride a couple days ago had alphabetized the random junk in his closet.
