deathbyshiny Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Bonus round! I meant to post this weekend, but I totally failed in that regard. Whoops! I am modifying my challenge format for November because November is a mess for me. Q1 grades are due, it's NaNoWriMo, and it's Extra-Life Month, and I know myself enough to know that a daily goal isn't going to work for me while I have so much on my plate. Food: Try to eat as well as possible. Extra-Life weekend is a bust, as is Thanksgiving. It's also getting colder up here in New England, so I always tend to lean more towards comfort foods. So, instead of constantly shoving grilled cheeses in my face, I am going to try to learn how to make some hearty vegetable soups that can become a staple. <3 Exercise: Getting through Darebee and Endurance is going to be tough this month, so just do what I can when I have time to do it. I did my Zombies, Run 5k on Saturday, and I felt pretty good about it, so I'd like to be able to keep up the energy, so we'll see! I do plan on using my exercise bike more. Me: I need to focus on accomplishing my NaNoWriMo goals. I got this! 2 Quote Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. - Gail Devers Current challenge: New Game Previous challenges: 2017 Challenges: Strategy 2 | Strategy 1 | 1-3 1-2 | 1-1 | Reset2016 Challenges: 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | .5 Link to comment

Utter crap is fun to read i love reading people's writing even if they don't think it's "good" but to me it's the same with artists, I hear my sister say that about a painting she's done but as the person looking at it, it's interesting, beautiful, or cool. It's the same with other people's writing. I just enjoy seeing that creativity from a different perspective, in art and writings. 1 Quote "One should eat to live, not live to eat." -Molaire- "People always forget their hangover" -My dear ol' dad "People are born to live, while some are born to evolve."

deathbyshiny Posted November 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I am alive! Things are going ok, though life has been pretty hectic. I had Extra-Life, then grading hell, and now I'm finally crawling out of the ashes.

Dagger Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 How was Extra Life? Sounded like a fun, exhausting thing I might try in the future. And yay, finally found you. I was kinda absentish about reading challenges when I was in France. 1 Quote Introduction (where I started, May 2016) ~*~ NF Character (dormant) Progress as a Nomad: Battle log where I do my own challenges Useful posts on my battle log: Useful Links and Travel Schedule, Future Challenge Ideas, Goals for 2017 as a whole, Assorted Goals (not on rotation), Elements W1D1, Last Quarter Goals Link to comment
deathbyshiny Posted November 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 It's all good! <3 Extra-Life was super fun, but it is SO difficult to stay up for 24 hours. I'm not a teenager with infinite energy anymore, so around the 4 am mark I get really tired really quickly. But I met my goal, and my team raised almost a million dollars. So holy crap it was amazing! My writing is suffering pretty hardcore. I am REALLY behind on NaNoWriMo because my week of grading essays killed my motivation. Hoping to get some back before the month ends. I did finish reading a book, though, and I have a short break for Thanksgiving, so maybe I can get back on track! 2 Quote Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. - Gail Devers Current challenge: New Game Previous challenges: 2017 Challenges: Strategy 2 | Strategy 1 | 1-3 1-2 | 1-1 | Reset2016 Challenges: 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | .5 Link to comment

So holy crap it was amazing! Holy crap! That is a lot of money for you and your team to raise! And naps aren't allowed? That would feel pretty tough and messes up the body a lot. *sad face* Still might be worth it to do once or twice. Plus charity! As for the rest, grading sounds rough and reading sounds great.

deathbyshiny Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 (Soooo delayed) It was a lot of money. It was AMAZING and fun and I am doing it again next year. But technically as long as you do 24 hours, you can pick your 24 hours. I just do it all in a row for the challenge. Also, I have been a hot mess, so I haven't been able to check the forums until today. D: I should have taken November off. I have to take the December challenge off, so I can get myself back on track, but I will try to remember to check this place more often! 2 Quote Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. - Gail Devers Current challenge: New Game Previous challenges: 2017 Challenges: Strategy 2 | Strategy 1 | 1-3 1-2 | 1-1 | Reset2016 Challenges: 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | .5 Link to comment
