THE LONG WALK 22: Resolutioning  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?2,880,000. 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 most of us hang out in #thunderdome where are the previous months 2015 April, May June July, August, September, October , November, December, 2016 January, February, March, April, May June, July, September, October, November, December 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 penisburgers ock?

I have a huge project that I apparently don't have enough incentive to work on yet, so I'm pledging 4k words for this month.  I'll almost certainly be back next month, since I have no idea how many words this thing is actually supposed to be, just that it's approximately 1 million

would people find it useful if we had weekly check-ins? no obligation, but we've got some decent totals here so breaking it up will be important.

My turn. Textbook at 24286. Fiction at 1295. Diff from the start of the year: Textbook: 10083 Fiction: 1295 Total: 11378 Not bad. I hit the textbook's 50% mark and then decided to focus on the technical side of that for a while, hence the tidy number there. I found that pacing myself to hit 1K a day is a great idea. I usually hit about 2K anyway, but having that lower limit really helps to keep me going. For a while I was going at NaNoWriMo pace, which was nice too. I'm going to up the ante as well, even though it won't boost my word count. I will also launch the fiction as a self-published thing on the web.

Checking in with 2977/25000 words. I'm pretty happy with that considering I've been writing 2 days and aiming for about 1500 a day. If I can keep pace I won't get banned again this month.

Ah, it is mid-month... Might as well. Textbook: 26360 Fiction: 6180 Monthly progress: Textbook: 12157 Fiction: 6180 Total: 18337 / 30000 I also got some progress on developing the web infrastructure I will be using to publish my fiction. I am almost ready to launch that from a technical point of view. Some fonts need adjusting, the nav/TOC system needs a new format. One thing that I keep delaying is setting up the site style for cell phones in landscape layout as well as tablets... All this is just minor things. More majorly, the ad network needs choosing. Oh. And the content. Right. Welp, better get to it... Since I am not launching the textbook till February at the earliest, I will pump my effort towards the fiction for a few days, hoping to launch for next week. It will suck, but it is just a tech demo / prototype for the textbook anyway.

Textbook: 30576 Fiction: 9033 Differences: Textbook: 16373 Fiction: 9033 Total: 25406 So about 4.5K left to the word target. Looks not too bad, yes? Well, about that... Plus the fiction launch. Remember how I said it won't impact the word count much? Oh gods... Nothing is ready. Every thing sucks fore ver. Gonna be way over the word count before it is in a publishable state. I think I can make it, but it will be one heck of a push. At least the textbook is looking great for an early March launch.

~2000 for project, >2000 for fiction, so 4k goal is technically complete. I'd like to do another 2000 on the project, though.
