THE LONG WALK 9: November is the ninth month  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? 1,045,000. 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 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 hey, it's nanowrimojo so it is, if you toxx to write 50,000 words this month and make it i'll buy you an avatar  av deal closedockarina? it's a flute that you play with your weiner hole Long Walk 8: November is the ninth month Broenheim 5k FISTFUL OF MADE IT Sitting here 10k PUTTIN ON HER MADE IT PANTS Redtonic 50k MADE IT WOO A TERRIBLE NOVEL IS BORN LICK THE SLIME FROM ITS NATAL CASING Guinness13 10k MADE IT ON TOAST WITH PARSLEY GARNISH Ironic twist 8k LAST STOP ON THE MADE IT LINE ALL CHANGE Ravenkult 60k MADE IT SPAYED IT PLAYED IT HURRAH HOW NOVEL Trex 25k MADE IT HOOAH GUES THAT MEANS YOU WIN THE NOTHING HERE IT IS IS IT NOT SWEET Grizz pat 5k MADE IT LIKE AN UNDERPAID ERITREAN SWEATSHOP WORKER Kurona bright 25k DIDN'T MAKE IT Nethilia 60k AWWYIS FEEL THE BURN SUCKAS MADE IT WITH A SWEET FLOURISH AND HAIRFLICK COMBO Seb 4k YEAH MADE IT I GUESS Newt 5k MADE IT LIKE A FLAYED ONE FROM WARHAMMER 40K THAT IS ESSENTIALLY GENDERLESS HENCE 'IT' Thyrork 4k MADE IT BUT DID YOU FOCUS ON STORYTELLING NOT WORLDBUILDING TELL ME THYRORK TELL ME Spectres of autism 4k MADE IN A LIGHT CITRUS GLAZE Mag7 50k DIDN'T MAKE IT Painted bird 50k DIDN'T MAKE IT Tiger 50K KLARADE DET total pledged in November: 425,000 TOTAL DELIVERED: 315,000 TOTAL TO DATE 1,359,000 RECORD OF THE FALLEN  CHTHONIC BELL/A PAINTED BIRD...

drat, with that avatar deal thrown in, I'm game. I missed this thread until now so I'm already at 16k words. Including those, I pledge 50k by the end of the month. I solemnly swear everything was written after November 1st. If the av deal is voided since I'm too late to pledge, joke's on me I guess.

It's been a while since we did an IRC check-in, I think. I'll be hanging out in IRC for most of the day and evening EST Saturday the 14th if anyone would like to chat about the status of their project(s) and spitball things.

I'm struggling to keep up right now, but I'll pull through! I have two more hours today (in my timezone) to make up the 2300 words to be at the halfway mark. In other words I'm at 22 700 now, and want to get to 25k tonight.

Fudge you people. I'm at 20K, but that's going the honest route, taking out previously-written chapters that I rewrote because it was a better idea because that's just smart writing am I write.

This is not a Saturday check in. This is an accomplishment. Toxx done and 120% over Nano. Still writing. I have to see how much I can get in total before the Nano numbers shut down, after all.

Final Saturday Check in.  I took Wed and Thursday off, and barely wrote Friday. Planning shall be done later, to make this into a proper book. But next month I'm obligated to work on editing older works.

Thyrork posted:4k again, but with a focus on storytelling and not worldbuilding. Done.  I need to drive myself into doing this earlier and more often. Maybe weekly progress reports so I can feel bad when I need my lame-rear end excuse to explain why I'm not writing more.
