THE LONG WALK 6: Remember this September to Set your Clocks to Midnight  so what's this then this is where you get to do something about writing that novel you've always had inside you and can finally get all the sounds cool how does it work round about the first day of every month I put a thread up and you post in it to say how much new writing you're gonna post by 2359 PST on the last day of that month. there might be a little general leeway at the end of the month, but don't count on it and don't ask for extensions. lol imma post one word 'lol' there I won lol there's a 4k word minimum. you can pledge more if you like, but 4k is the ante. how many terrible words have been written through this thread and the ones before it? 724,500. Some of them might have been good? idk what happens if I gently caress it up every promise has to have a  attached. you fail, you get banned.how should I post my stuff up to you, but a link to a gdoc with comments enabled is best that way you won't restrict your publication options later. can I do short stories sure. It has to be new words (prose, poetry, limericks) but otherwise you can post whatever as long as you make the wordcount can I critpost, shitpost, or shart my jorts don't really care, it's not the thunderdome so just follow the exhortations of your clotted goony heart but keep in mind that detailed crits of longform stuff aren't super useful; better to keep them general. normal CC rules apply so be harsh but helpful is there an irc channel yes, if you've signed up: synirc, #longwalk, but most of us hang out in #thunderdome where are the previous months April, May June July, August who tells the mods if i gently caress up and don't make it anyone can call in a failed toxx; if no one else does it I do who checks i've done it i could just not and say i did lol you need to satisfy me, which isn't a high bar tbh, but I'll probably need to see something, up to you what that is how long are you gonna do it for at least a year, but if it's working for people there's no reason it couldn't go on longer how can someone be so precisely disabled as to be able to pronounce the last 'k' in 'cock' but not the first? you know, that's a really good question Long Walk 6: Remember this September to Set your Clocks to Midnight Sittinear: 5k, 5 subs MMMMMMMMADE IT Broenheim: 5k words, 5 subs YEAH MADE IT BROENHEIM KNOWS WHAT TIME IT IS I.E.

magnificent7 posted:Okay fine gently caress you. 4,000. I was gonna be all 'yeah whatever', but actually I'm not going to. Story, mag7, don't thumb twiddle. I mean I know plotting is important, but write something that people might read rather than structural diagrams.

Meinberg posted:If I have an eye towards submitting to places, should I write towards a specific publication or should I just write and figure out where I can send it later on? Writing to a specific market is good practice, IMO, just don't be too specific so you can submit it to more than one place.

thehomemaster posted:Can we bail? I mean, I don't even know why I sighed up so it would be nice if you could just take me out of this. I'd rather not be banned. Not going to list excuses, just flat saying there ain't a chance in hell this was ever going to happen. You can bail. Like it says in the op.
