THE LONG WALK 19: October rhymes with death  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?2,450,000. 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 April, May June July, August, September, October , November, December, January, February, March, April, May June, July, 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 forever, i guess? we'll see ock I yearn to fall into a turgid slumber Long Walk 19: October rhymes with death pale specterest 50K, 10SUBS OMG MADE IT OUT OF ECTOPLASM AND STRING besesoth 30k woooo MADE IT OUT OF BONE AND JOLT COLA guinness13 10k NOT GONNA FAIL NOPE MADE IT OUT OF RUBBER AND GLUE sittinghere 20k 5 subs I BELIEF IN U MADE IT OUT OF DREAM CANDY toxicslurpee 6k MADE IT OUT OF ICE SLURRY AND DEADLY POISON ironic tiwist 30k  what is that mournful hooting it is the faaaaaiiilll klaxon dockloc 15k revision words (WE'LL MAKE IT WORK U AND ME) MADE IT OUT OF HOPE AND MORE HOPE (AND BEER) skaandscrenplas 5k GO NEWBBEEE MADE IT OUT OF CHEERY WAVES AND TANGERINE COLOURED ENERGY DRINKS RECORD OF THE FALLEN  CHTHONIC BELL/A PAINTED BIRD...

True goal is to finish the revised scene-by-scene plot summary of ~romance novel~ It will probably end up being 20k words and I've done 5k, so at least 15k words. But it will be a failure if I don't get it completely done. If this doesn't count as real enough writing for you chumps.... I don't care. It's what needs to be done now. Also, there's got to be some way to make revisions work in Long Walk >:-[

Slightly ahead of the curve at 27,468! Which means it's time to accelerate if I'm going to hit 50k next month.

Probably going to make it to completing the scene-by-scene summary, but not sure how long it will be, so might not actually hit the 15k words for this month. Mostly because I realized that 20% of the scenes were boring filler. Huzzah! I personally don't care about word count, because finishing it is all that matters. Then I'll have a strong base for completing actual revisions/rewrites to the text next month.

mostly this month i wrote about the moon and stole titles from song lyrics im not counting my notes, someth hosed up somewhere and i def didnt do as much as it thinks i did novel: eyes draft II was 31.8k, now 47.8k, up 16k stories: Double Take was 6.5k, now 17k, up 10.5k Butterfly 3.5k Lucy's Fur 4.4k Hallow (Selene Rewrite) 6k Before We Fell Up In The Killing Sight (wip) 2k Our Terror Is Feeling At All 4.8k Tell Them I'm Too Dead For The Wind To Blow Me Back 3.9k most are rough drafts poems: woody allen (for mia) .2k no eyes (for steven) .1k k so around day 25 i think i felt rly burnt out. told a friend stuff like body descriptions were creeping into my prose, he was like write erotica yo. so yeah i did. ghost/alien/ai crossover erotica tbh. it was weird, like it flowed rly easily, not cuz sexiness i think, just cuz i had a lot of dumb ideas slow cooking and i could dump them in w/o worrying about tone. but for that reason it felt weird and gross, like i was experimenting w needles or something. anyway im not gonna link it but:  5.9k total 57.3k subs:         i wanna do more on my book, some parts were a slog to push thru. peace e: forgot a sub lol e2: images no longer 4 ants take the moon fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Oct 31, 2016 |

Made it, although closer than I would have liked. It bugs me that I have more time to write now (yay unemployment!) and am getting through less words. I've been in a multiple month long funk and it's driving me nuts. Anyway, down to the numbers:  Short story in progress, 2,892 words and counting  Finished a first draft! 4,862 words   Two thunderdomes totaling 2,667 words Grand total of 10,421 words.

I finished a scene-by-scene summary of my novel, woo. It ended up clocking in at 13,705 words, but more importantly it is finished! I now know what scenes go in the book and where and what happens in them! Fun stuff that happened: A "major" character was completely eliminated! The 2nd quarter of the book was nearly entirely deleted! About half the timeline was switched around! Mojo I sent you a link to the document.
