My 4000 words will be pretty rough and unpolished but they will be new. At the moment I just have a wordpile of character arcs, introductions and world building. No idea what I am going to do with them yet. Mostly just writing for the sake of writing and I will try to bring it all together into something coherent later. <1000 words to go.

Project #1 - 4,577 words Project #2 - 1,001 words Both very rough, not yet looking for critique on either one, though I suppose I wouldn't freak out if comments happened anyway. The first thing is completely new. The second thing is based off an old Thunderdome story of mine (or, more specifically, off the very beginning of that story), but it's a substantial expansion.

I have written the last 2700 words of this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cpoy91CQJ6wrpm8FIC4C7aR2WaZiF-12kRcfxk3V4M4/edit and have around 2300 to go. I'm heading up North in about 18 hours so I'll post by then. Because of that the Toxx check will occur an unspecified period after deadline, so you may have a little leeway on this one. Best not to count on it tho.

2166 + 2080 + 3288 = 7,534, and that's good enough for me. Not that any of them went anywhere, but that wasn't the point. The point was to go on a journey of self discovery, and man did I learn. Don't crit Wizard Week. Holy hell was that draining. On the flip side, tonight's quiet, undirected 1K of words were strangely satisfying. I might do this writing thing again sometime.

Fools March? Not this fool 4010 Words https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jAkYgHXTjY3dnnwUqdksOcyxRGFlYGAscMV52N0wGdA/edit?usp=sharing No real beginning middle or end anywhere here yet. Just writing some scenarios/scenes for a Scifi idea in my head. All very rough, some of the scenes are incomplete and unsorted. I have the propensity to over analyse each sentence as I type it. So this was an attempt to get me out of that habit.

First draft of one and a half rewrites of my TD scifi story I got distracted by the idea to a detective story so here's the first draft of the intro (I'll deactivate sharing again once I'm crossed off the list.) 4490+645 =5135 words Threw in some extra because there's some notes in the middle of the first one and I don't know how much any non-story stuff counts seriously whatever. For my next trick I'll write 5k in a month again, but maybe not across two binge sessions in the last four days thank you for listening.

I wrote a short called ''A Devil Lay Here'' which I just sent to Fantasy & Science Fiction, 2300 words. My TD entry for Wizard week was 1200 or so. My TD entry for this week came out to 1500 words.  Link available to anyone who wants it, catch me on IRC.

 If we're counting TD stuff add 1.3k to that. AFTER ACTION REPORT FOR MONTH ONE: Most of what I've done is tried to sketch out the one major scene that each chapter hangs on. The hardest part for me was getting past the prep work of structuring a much longer work than I'm accustomed to. All sorts of cool flashes of "oh man I can really polish this motif and that subtext and have all these connections" ended up dragging me down, solely because I was putting together a very complex web rather than, you know, jamming words out. Sitting down and opening the text file was the most valuable action to take. Procrastination is an obvious issue, I think many people here would agree. Worldbuilding is easy and fun, but textbuilding is where the action is. I had to keep on myself that I can always go back and make things more clear, and that getting a rough draft to even work on at a later date was more important. As an aside, a personal goal I've set for myself is to use Scrivener's tools to make an objective effort to ensure every portion of the story has a clearly defined obstacle. Anyone who's read my TD stuff knows that my conflicts are almost always introspective intangible watery things that have no real power to them. I'm make a conscious effort to slam past that.

I just copied my work into its own doc for accuracy's sake. I got thrown off by judging Thunderdome's wizard apocalypse. For May, I'm trying to write 9K (7K of short story, 2K minimum novel words), and my goal is to establish better writing habits by getting up earlier and writing at least an hour before noon every day. I've been dawdling on this so long, I'm learning the value of just writing past scenes that don't feel quite right. So far, leaving myself comments in google docs where I want to change things is working out okay. At least I'm moving forward instead of tinkering. Excited for next month

I'll see how i can do in may. I have a really really really busy schedule, so i'll probably toxx for the min and hope to overachieve.

Romantic love was, generally speaking, strictly outside the purview of Heaven and the attendant angels. Love prayers fell on deaf ears. But the way people talked about it certainly made it seem good.

The next long walk is up! Do we have a number on toxx fails? Mojo said he'd be willing to be a bit relaxed this month, but I'm curious who hasn't checked in but have no intention of working it out for myself.
