I have officially completed No Sleep November with no losses! Week four only had one art day, as I knew from past Novembers that I never do much art over Thanksgiving Break and planned ahead. I filled the week with a lot of research on Catholicism, France, and alchemy.

I've made it through the third week, and my streak remains unbroken! This week we returned to Merecily to work on some more character designs and stubborn backstories.
I still have to make it through Thanksgiving Break, which is historically a rough time for my art, but this is also the first year I have reached the break without missing a day. I also planned ahead and scheduled mostly research tasks for the final week, so here's hoping I've set myself up for success this year!

| Day 17 - The Queen's Council |
I have decided to rename my NaNo-adjacent activity calendar to No Sleep November, since that is what it really ends up being. This week I worked on designs and scenes for the phantom thief story. Having a clear vision in my head of some of the locations has made me feel much more confident.

| Day 8 - The Pied Piper |

| Day 9 - Side Characters |
A solid first week of my NaNoWriMo-adjacent activities. I knocked out some character designs and did some brainstorming for the map and the university uniforms. I'm quite happy with Kaia and the queen's designs, though I couldn't quite settle on an outfit for the queen. Luckily, I'd imagine she can afford to own all of them, so she can wear them in different scenes.
