I didn't toxx or anything this month, but checking in:

I wrote ~60,000 words of erotica in June.

And I finally submitted my sci-fi story to Clarkesworld. I expect it will be rejected, but the chances of being it not being published are 100% if I never submit it.

I didn't toxx myself this month, but I've been writing fairly steadily. I didn't count, but I've tried to put down at least a page a day to make up for what I lost when I fat-fingered about eighty pages of my manuscript. I'm trying to look at the accident as a chance to improve on what I had before.

I gotta say, The Long Walk is a great way to keep writing, even without the toxx.

I have to supervise a manufacturing validation this weekend and won't get much writing done, so I'm pretty much finished for the month.



1) Progress on a new novel. 16,384 words.
2) This story contains 2,739 words of back-matter advertising for other short stories on the same pen name. Actual length is 9,725 words.
3) This story contains 2,739 words of back-matter advertising for other short stories on the same pen name. Actual length is 7,374 words. (Same backmatter shared between #2 and #3)
4) This story contains 3,130 words of back-matter advertising for other short stories on the same pen name. Actual length is 9,804 words.

Stories 2-4 have word-count reductions counted against them because copy/pasting cliffhangers from other works to lure readers into buying more stories doesn't count as new words.

Total word-count: 43,287 words.

Time is up in ten hours or so, so get writing if you are still short. Toxxes will follow the deadline by a brief and unreliable margin.

I have 3k to go (shudders)

over too many documents to paste the word count screenshots, so here's my daily log.

50k actually wasn't too bad. I think i might pledge to do more next month, and split it between projects.

June Halfway Checkin:

625 words from a small joke story thing for a friend's birthday.
3,110 words of a Thunderdome being rewritten from the ground up for sending out for submissions.

3,735 total. Still need to edit the Thunderdome thing back down a bit though, mainly for pacing reasons.

+1.4k for a smaller story, +3.5k more to the Heap of Novel I need to clean up.


That puts me at ~9k words for the month. Not very hard to get a thousand jammed out in a serious hour long session, but finding time to do that consistently has been annoying.

I think next month I'll focus on editing short stories for submissions. Enough of this not getting paid to be brilliant poo poo
