THE LONG WALK 7: Never sober in October  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? 885,500. 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, September 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 oct? yes Long Walk 7: Never sober in Octobersittingher: 10k, 2.5k per week, 5 subs DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE (TO TUNE OF STARWARS) morningbell: 4k YES DONE meinberg: 4k MEINBERRRRRRG YOU'RE SUCH A MEINBERRRRRRG BUT YOU'RE DONE SO THERE'S THAT newt: 5k and 5 subs DONEST LEPER MORE LIKE soa: 4k, 2 subs, no tdome SPECTRES OF DONE-NESS curlingiron: 4k, 4 subs, no tdome SHWEETLY DONE MONEYPENNEY stuporstar: 20k WOOOOOO STUPORDUPORSTAR DONEBURGERS capntastic: 6k DONERIFFIC thyrork: 4k DONER KEBAB killer of lawyers: 5k BRIEFS SOAKED IN BLOOD BARELY COUNT BUT STILL DONE redtonic: 20k HOOAHHH DONETONIC ironic twist: 6k, 10 subs, and yes good ock gag imma steal it AWWW YIS SO DONE IT HURTS (GOOD HURT THO) lazy beggar: 4k MARGINAL AS HELL BUT I GUESS I'LL ALLOW IT GEEZER grizpat: 4k, 5 subs, no tdome DONE LIKE A GONE SCONE broenheim: 5k, 5 subs, no tdome DONENHEIM mag7: 5k HEY MAG7 I GUESS YOU'RE DONE GO YOUUUUUU kurona bright: 7k, progress reporty by 15 oct, 4k by 20 oct WOOP WOPP DONE jonked: 21k YOU BLOODY BEAUTIFUL MANIAC YOU DONE IT Guinness13: 7k, one sub GUINNESSSSSSS13 EH GUINESS15(,481 WORDS) MORE LIKE Thranguy: 5k, one sub BOOYAH DONE anime was bad: 10k  fail snail painted bird: 5k DONE HEKE (DUMB KIWI JOKE) total written in November: 160k!

20k turns out to be the perfect pace for me right now, so I'm going to stay the course. Another 20k on the novel by the end of the month. I even got a new av as incentive not to lose it so soon.

Here are my submissions so far - there's another one unlisted as well. That's three-times my submission goal (even if it's only two pieces). I'm probably 1.5k words into my word-count, all re-writes/final edits. Moving on to new words after tonight. newtestleper fucked around with this message at 03:16 on Oct 15, 2015 |

I've been ramping up, getting ready for Nano. I'm up to almost 4K so far, the majority of that from over the past three days of plotting and character poo poo. Can't believe I'm back to writing again. It feels good.

Goal: 7,000 words plus 1 sub. Thunderdome interprompt Flicker, 238 words  First part of a new short story, 415 words  Progress on my novel: Last month I ended with 1,778 words. This month I ended with 14,518. Total words for October: 12,740  Complete revision of the third part of a short story second draft, 2,088 words  And one sub:  Total word count for October: 15,481, plus one sub. So, definitely more productive than last month.
