I feel so far behind at it's only day three! My name on the NaNo site is Neekolynn!

I'm working on one project this month, and it's finishing this. It's been sitting, waiting for me to finish it for a while now, sooo. Goals!

I tend to quickly overwhelm myself, but I enjoy trying to do all of the things at once. At least with this round, there's a lot of challenges that are just doing nothing or doing something that I enjoy doing in my "free" (*cough* procrastination *cough*) time.

1. What has me most excited is having a group of people who know I'm supposed to be writing. I'm not even close to really having a plan but I may just word vomit. I haven't written like this since high school, so it should be interesting. My biggest worry, just in general for everything right now, is since my life has just been effectively turned upside down, that it's going to affect what I do and if I do something. 2. I normally like to have a general idea of what I'm going to write. I've never been big on formally planning anything, which mighty be why I only ever really completed short stories when I used to write.

Wow! And I thought I had a lot going on in my challenges! I'm definitely going to follow you.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll find something awesome to wear!

So over that past few years, my sister and I have essentially lost both of our parents. Our amazing father was taken by cancer. Our mother, unable to handle her grief, got involved with a manipulative, abusive, drug addict and dealer, scumbag. She's turned into something that's not our mother and has decided that she wants nothing more to do with me or my sister, or even her granddaughter. The only reason I'm telling you guys this, is for my battlelog. This seems like a fairly safe place to vent this information, and at the same time, because of these circumstances my log idea has had to turn into, partially, my adventures of learning adulting. The other portion is going to focus on my physical quests and my adventure, getting to a Tough Mudder in May. I look forward to making this adventure with all those who may choose to follow along.

Thanks, guys! I'm looking forward to taking this journey with you!

I wasn't really planning on doing NaNoWriMo this month, but since there's an accountabiliabuddy group, maaaybe I will. It always sounds like fun when it comes around.

Okay, so in the spirit of picking back up, I've actually started my challenge during the pre-week. Also, in the spirit of organization, I'm going to just update my table as the weeks progress instead of the check-ins that I was doing before. Not much of an introduction but my brain is a mess right now...

Don't really have time for a major recap, we'll just go with I did not pass this time round, I did do well in some areas but not overall. On to the next!

I've been busy o.o I wish I would have seen this. I'm definitely up for it if you guys want to do this again next month!

Wow you guys are doing awesome! Sorry I've been AWOL, I've had a lot going on recently, but I'm super impressed with you guys! The current rankings are... bker1370 ... Titanium (I'll figure out another level or two for the next round. I promise.) maegs .... Titanium dribilie ... Gold Neeko ... Gold Vibrantella ... Silver

Oh my, @MiaulinTheCat, you're just doing ALL the things! If there's anything I could help math related, let me know! I'm pretty good with most things as long as it's not calculus level. Algebra is my specialty it would seem. I'm in nursing classes right now, that consume my life, as well as a microbiology course. Those are what I'm going to be focusing on for the time being.

Welcome @dribilie! And yes! Any and all steps help the cause!

Yay! Welcome @Vibrantella! And, good luck! Spread the word on the PvP guys! I really need a PR person, haha.

I'm following! I like the idea of structuring it more this time round!

@bker1370 too funny! I made a comment at the end of the last challenge that we should come up with a ranking beyond Platinum for those people who can go above and beyond.

hehe I had to feel like I accomplished something lol Thank you! And, welcome to my hectic challenge! Thank you! And that is my life. Crazy and busy, all the time. Thank you! Lists are awesome! Especially when I remember to look at them o.o I sometimes forget. I have Wunderlist on my phone and it's literally right in front of my face, and I still manage to forget things. I hope everyone's ready for the challenge to begin tomorrow! I know I'm looking forward to it! AND! I have a new PvP up for this challenge! Soo please join! Walk Another Mile!

Yay! A walking PvP! Even though it's being put up kind of late... hours before the next challenge starts... hehe... This challenge will run for the entirety of this four week challenge (September 25 - October 22). 1. To join, just go to the spreadsheet, add your name, and update your miles or km as the challenge progresses. 2. Also, post on this topic which tier you're trying to reach, any progress you want to share, anything you want to talk about, you know how forums work.

Good luck everyone!

Hey, everyone, and anyone who happens to stop by! I'm excited to post in the Ranger's forums. Like, I probably shouldn't be this happy, it's probably the lack of sleep. Soo for my lack of creativity, let's get this show on the road. Week Zero: Get ALL the things done! Pre-clinical Paperwork x 2 Post clinical Paperwork Lab Report Study for Micro Lab Pre-Quiz PVD Packet Independent Study Figure out a magical way to study for Maternal Newborn Put laundry away Vacuum Go to the Gym x 2 Post the new PvP Finish typing this Make my bed look pretty Organize ALL the things No schoolwork after 9:30pm I like making lists!

Neeko grins, this being her first time in the guildhall she eagerly waits to hear what the Ranger has to say, ready to take on anything.

Nice! That's an awesome job! I use my Fitbit to keep track of my mileage and competition usually gets me to walk more, but this past month I've been struggling to do just about anything. But you went above and beyond the Titanium goal! I got gold. I came up like 5 miles short of it. lol soo frustrating. We may need to make another goal for people who can go above and beyond like you did. My brain is only really thinking about nursing right now, so if you have an idea for that let me know. I'm going to get the next pvp set up later today, after I set up my next challenge.

Okay! So recap and final tally for the challenge! Recap: This challenge was a bit of a struggle. There are some pretty obvious areas where I need to work on. Specifically when it comes to the amount of time I'm putting in to my school work and just in general my daily activity. And, I think I may touch on these areas again for the next challenge. The Final Tally: So for the end of the challenge my scores for my main quests were... Strength: 8/8 Dexterity:4/4 Stamina: 75.88/84 Constitution: 168/168 Wisdom: 40.5/56 Charisma: 53/20 Soo all that, minus the extra credit from charisma, brings me to 95% which is an A! *star*LEVEL UP!*star* Level 2 Elf Ranger who also happens to be a Medic/Healer Bonus Objectives Completed or Close Strength: 12/12 Dexterity: 1/2 Constitution: 36.5/52 Charisma: 28/28 Stat Increases! Strength: 1.00 Dexterity: 0.75 Stamina: 0.90 Constitution: 6.11 Wisdom: 0.72 Charisma: 1.83 (With extra credit)
