THE LONG WALK

17: A Big Mouthful of August Gloop



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 money respect sex nothing you deserve.

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? 2,264,000. Some of them might have been good? idk

what happens if I gently caress it up every promise has to have a :toxx: 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 most of us hang out in #thunderdome

where are the previous months April, May June July, August, September, October , November, December, January, February, March, April, May
June, July

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 forever, i guess? we'll see

ock is another word for penis i know little buddy, i know

I wrote 6K on my novel, 2K on a short story and probably another 3K in outlines, which obviously doesn't equal out to 20K so I will take my ban. I'm excited to start over next month armed with a much stronger backbone for my novel story, though.

Kicking myself for toxxing a sub. I got almost no editing done this month. But the good news (in a writing sense only) is I got laid off, so I'll have plenty of time for next month!

Progress on my second novel: I'm up to 19,261 words, up from 6,598 last month. Total of 12,663 new words.



Also started a new short story. 601 more words.



And my one sub! May the editor have mercy on my soul. (It's not bad, just not as polished as I'd have liked.)



Grand total of 13,264 words.
