How would one combine last-man-on-Earth with still-some-people-and-some-semblance-of-society?
Flashbacks to the past when the society is still in the process of decaying. The novel Galapagos is narrated from the perspective of the last human ghost on Earth, and the dramatic tension comes from the narrator explaining how the last humans survived and thrived during the disaster, paving the way for a successor species to take over from them.

So of course my first 14-hour shift in weeks would be the first day of NaNoWriMo. That's 4 hours of potential writing gone forever, and by the time I eat, shower, and get ready for work tomorrow I'll have maybe 90 minutes to spare before bed.

Off to a GREAT start!

Can you write notes, inspirations, bulk it up somewhere else at another day? Perhaps even write on the job, as a teacher and now a full time dad, lord knows I did and do.

Writing is a wee bit difficult in my job. I'm a full-time truck driver.

Well then. It's the end of the first day, and I have nothing written or planned.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.

So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

November already... I've at least tried every year for a long while now. Won twice. Not sure if i can even attempt it this year, unless i just throw together random stream of consciousness stuff. It's already day 3, which puts me way behind. I may have to just skip this year. What little time i have, I'm using to make Stardew Valley and Minecraft videos, lately.

Though i could do something if i use a tool to generate a title, maybe the video game name generator, and make up some nonsense. I certainly type fast enough, if i stop myself from thinking too hard about what I'm writing...

I'm a bit behind now. Had a little more than 2000 words when I went to bed yesterday. But I think I'll be able to catch up over the weekend as long as I don't fall further behind.

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.
