THE LONG WALK 12: Bantaan Death March  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? 1,693,000. 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, September, October , November, December, January, February 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 ick ock shut up kei$ha Long Walk 12: Bantaam Death March flerp 15k 15 subs completed beep boop potatocubed 6k LOOK POST you see a completed SMILE APPROVINGLY i don't know how to do that guinness13 10k 5 subs NET GAIN ACHIEVED taht's allwe're here for really isn't it YES redtonic 60k  FAILWHALE, SOUND THE INthyrork 4k "DOESN'T MATTER, WROTE ANYWAY" ARE THERE ANY SWEETER WORDS IN TEH ENGLISH LANGUAGE WELL YES, MELLIFLUOUS IS PRETTY NICE AS IS ROSARY BUT STILL THEY'RE P NICE IMO COMPLETED grizpat 5k 20 subs SYSTRAN WOULD SHOUT AT YOU FOR YOUR WEAKLING GOALS BUT HE FAILED LAST TIME SO EH COMPLEETROOT SALAD AND FETA DELICIOUS sparksbloom 10k FIRST TEN THOUSAND WRODS OF YOUR NOVEL, OOOH YEAH TASTE THAT AIR IS IT NOT SWEET BE WARNED IF IT'S TOO SWEET YOU MAY BE FARTIN SUGAR WHICH PROBABLY MEANS YOU HAVE TYPE 2 DIABETES sittinghere 7k SQUEAKS PAST LINE LIKE LITTLE MOUSE BUT HEY THE LINE IS THE LINE ISN'T IT YES IT IS RECORD OF THE FALLEN  CHTHONIC BELL/A PAINTED BIRD...

I'll have my full run-down for the month in a few days, but I wanted to pop in and say that one of my subs this month just got accepted for publication! I was subbing before these threads, but I've definitely stepped up my game since I started participating, and it's paying off.

This month has been a month of revising and filling out old stuff: This short story is now ready for editing.  This game is mid-revision but looking good. Up from 6272 words to start with, so a net gain of 8390 words.  This game is going much more slowly. Up from 8307 words to start with, so a net gain of 2144 words.  And this is the only new project worth talking about : the opening of what I hope is going to be my entry to the 2016 IFComp. I don't know how much of these words count since at least some of them are actually code, but w/e.

I have a shabby showing this month. 3876 words on a story I've been working at and getting nowhere with  And, much more shamefully, here are my TD entries+a brawl I'm still working on for 4416 words.  I will next month to only include short story/novel work, and not SA-related writing.

This month was...interesting. Scrapped some things and did a bit of work on stuff I wrote before. So have some word counts as proof of me writing at least 10K words this month. I actually ended up writing more but don't have proof of all of it. Note that the first thing started at slightly over 10,000 words.

Well, writing-wise, I did a lot of Thunderdome (for me, anyway), and didn't make much headway on any of my other projects. Total word count is 11,241. Last month, the novel ended at 62,422 words. Now it's at 63,344, for a net gain of 922 words. I do feel like I've finally turned the corner on where the third act is going, so hopefully we'll see some improvement here in April.  Short story in progress ended last month with 5,133 words, and this month with 7,074, for a gain of 1,941 words.  Started a new short story, because focus has not been the focus of this month. 798 words.  My thunderdome entries totaled 4,099 words, including some expansion on one post-submission.    I also apparently took a poo poo ton of notes for the novel. 3481 words worth. More than triple of what I actually wrote. Because I'm awesome like that.  Submission-wise, I put out 15 subs this month, one of which has been accepted! Yes, there are only 14 pictured. I forgot to include withdrawals, and I'm too lazy to go back and re-screen cap it.
