Knocked out 1.5k words today on my Alphasmart Neo in two hours instead of the usual 500 in three while juggling Firefox tabs on my second monitor.

I wrote 910 words of my vampire/demon text-porno today. I also wrote a bunch of words of 'literature' but I'm not counting those toward long walk.

Starting count for me was 17,488. I wrote 29 words today  ... but I wasn't trying to write any, just reading back through my rough draft and made a few changes.I still like my rough draft, at least.... I nearly cried with relief.

Wait, you can do that? I wrote like a thousand words, then threw half of 'em away, rewrote five hundred more, and don't like reading them either. Maybe I'll just stick to writing the interesting bits as they pop into my head then arrange them into some kind of vaguely-chronological order on the 30th. Semi-short stories don't need that frivolous stuff like context and logical progression, right? On a related note, how kosher is it to hit the word count by the deadline but not have a complete story? Are we talking savory no-one-else-is-forced-to-read-it brisket, or overcooked and difficult-to-swallow pork chop?

This is a toxx-rod for people who want to pick it up and apply it to their rear end; but be aware angel opportunity/systran is the designated Toxxecutioner so attempts to soft-pedal your effort might be unwise.

Hi goons. Would you guys be up to convene on IRC somewhere around April 15th? I was talking to Twist about it, and we agreed that it could be good for everyone participating to check in, trade insults, talk shop, and give a little extra motivation. The thread is cool but slow, and having a monthly "meetup" or whatever could keep those of us who are literal children somewhat on task. Thoughts?

I think that's a great idea. Juggling all the time zones might be a hassle, so there might have to be two "sessions" or something, but it'd be nice to give everyone that needs it a little kick in the rear end.

Cool. I have no idea how many time zones we're working with. At a glance, it looks like a lot. The 15th is a Wednesday, which I assume a lot of people work. Having two sessions would probably be best. This is super informal, but for organization's sake I was thinking we could do one around 7PM UTC (evening for europe goons, early afternoon for most US goons) and another around 2AM UTC (10PM for US east coast, 7PM for the west coast). Some of us are neckbeards and will be hanging around IRC all day anyway. If that's too hard to manage during the work week, we could maybe push it back to Friday the 17th. That way it would be Saturday for any goons in NZ since I'm guessing none of the previously mentioned times are super convenient during the week. I dunno though. I guess we can start from there and people can let me know if other times would work better. im bad at time zone.
