Day 13: LACK OF UPDATES

Heya guys, Sock here FINALLY with another update!  Day 13!  And I haven't written anything since day 2.  Why, you may ask?  LACK OF MOTIVATION.  I've had the exact opposite of motivation...  It all started on the 3rd...I think, anyway...Either the 3rd or 4th.  I was blamed for an RP being so-called "Dragged down".  I got the complete blame.  And in PMs, I was basically called a bad author.  News flash, idiot.  RPS.  ARE NOT.  SUPPOSED.  TO BE.  COMPLETELY.  DETAILED.  LIKE.  A.  BOOK.  It's an incomplete story coming to life bit by bit, small post by small post.  Anyone who thinks otherwise knows NOTHING, and calling someone a bad author in that way, that's just really low.  And I had this stupidity thrown at me the day after someone else was saying some very upsetting things.  I just got really demotivated from both of those.  And I know that a rant like this should probably be on the other blog, but I'm sorry, I just really need to get out why I'm not all motivated to do any writing.  And now I've had to leave some threads because people keep barging in.  Why I get upset at them enough to leave that thread?  It's because I always feel that it's always in this nice rhythm with threads, then someone barges in, which breaks that rhythm, and that broken rhythm gets me upset.  No one on the forums seems to understand that.  Yeah, in general, been through a lot, so I've had zero motivation to write, which has left me far behind.  And I am a NaNo Rebel.  Why?  I switched stories.  I'm going to be fair, though, and leave the wordcount of my previous story as the one there until this story gets it's wordcount past the other one, because I saw it as cheating to add my wordcount of this one to the current wordcount.  And I've had to reduce my wordcount goal.  I was already far too behind from my lack of motivation dragging me down, so I had to bring it down to 6,000.  Alright, with a huge rant and explaining that I reduced my wordcount and that I'm a NaNo rebel done, let's get into what I've written of this.

"I am Narina. Last names don't really matter much to me. Seriously? Whatever. Last name is Cartina. Yes, very interesting... Anyway, yes...I am different. I am the one born with the gift... Okay...wait, what are you doing with that? I'm pretty sure you should put that awa-GAH!" The girl went on, but her explaining is halted when it seems whoever was questioning her had pulled out a blade. But perhaps, this should start from the beginning, shall it? Yes, that will make things much easier to process...

Narina awoke with a start, having another nightmare. She looked as though a ghost was after her, too. She shook it off as just a stupid nightmare, and nothing to be afraid of. Narina was an Elven girl of fifteen years old, in the magical land of Solari. It was one of those places where many dream to be, but end up regretting those dreams when everything is not as it seems. But that isn't the main focus of everything, is it? No, not at all. The young Elf was one of the many Elves of Solari learning the art of magic, and archery. Both archery and magic are good, but the two make an amazing combination that can devastate foes. Narina actually seemed to be injured, because of her being involved in defending the academy from the very hostile dwarves from an island a fair distance away the previous day.

"Hello, Nari. Feeling any better yet?"

"Still not feeling too great, but I'm feeling much better then I was yesterday..." Nari muttered in reply, feeling like she could collapse any moment.

"Good. Everyone's at the archery targets."

"Thanks." Nari nodded, and walked through the woods into the vast archery range.

"Remember, you still need to know how to use a sword. In a real situation, if you tried to use your bow while someone was this close, you would probably be impaled with their sword before you could even release the bowstring. Oh! Miss Narina. I thought you still needed to recover."

"Sara said I had recovered enough to come back, I just shouldn't strain myself too much." Nari shrugged.

"Very well. Since you seem to feel to be in a fit enough condition, and the fact that Miss Sara said so herself..."

Yep, really bad, but still, quantity over quality.  And I can edit it later.  :P

Okay!  That's it for today's lengthy update...  And I may have went out of hand with the rant, just reeealllly needed to vent that out.  Not healthy to keep that bottled up inside.  Anyway, cya!
