Internet's been hosed, so I've been getting a lot of writing done! 18742/17k and I've beaten my goal, so I can coast for the rest of the month, right?

Sunturday again! 1061 words left, about 500 has to go towards the textbook. This ends as soon as I get some sleep. The first part of the fiction is launched. Still needs work, but is actually getting some fractional traffic. Which is amazing for 84 words. Part 1 is short, yeah. Part 2 going up tomorrow. Good times! EDIT: Textbook goal met! 550 words left on the rest, to be used as I please. EDIT2: And now I'm done. -4 words left to be written! Technically I have done everything required. I still want to put up part 2 of the fiction, but maybe not today...

end of month tally: 6517 TD story words  2017 actual legitimate story words (ha ha get it)  21552 words of character notes, plot notes, side projects, non sequitur lines, and straight up scribbles of the damned. someone take a handful of JifTM brand peanut butter and paste it over my worthless mouth until I suffocate. auf wiedersehen.

For some reason I thought today was the 31st and I was skeptical I'd get the last of my words done. I will probably be screaming in here right at the deadline tomorrow, but dammit i'll get my stupid words done. It's been a hard month, but really, every month is a hard month for someone. gently caress anything that's not writing.

I'm going to call them in tomorrow sometime, be aware it might take a while as we're experiencing a temporary lull in our usually superb mod service of banning fools and taking their money. Well done everyone who made it.

Would a link to the story work for the self-pub and the word counts per chapter for the writing? I'm not sure how high the bar is... Link: https://antipode.space (only 4 parts published so far and the interface needs a whole bunch more work.) I'm really proud of this one, believe it or not. Took a lot of work, not just on the writing front to get here. My own software to process text files into web pages, server machine setup, web server setup, domain setup, encryption setup, optimization for speed, the visual layout, the favicon, research about putting up ads (opted not to do that in the end), automated table of contents, etc... A very Gravitas story, actually. I expect it to be incomprehensible/unreadable to others, I just wrote it for myself. The main idea was to have it be a tech demo / prototype for the textbook. I learned a ton about creating a website, which was the idea! And hey, peanut butter cups! Kept me sane and provided an outlet for the textbook exhaustion, while keeping me on track with my writing every single day. Counts since start of month: Fiction: 10042 Textbook: 20568 Total: 30610 The actual count may very a bit. There are control codes inside the text files. Things like "start a table" or "this character is now speaking". Not exactly words, even though they are a critical part of the writing. This is offset by some things that the word count program undercounts, mainly in the textbook, where adjacent words often get counted as one due to a control code that slurs the two together. The actual count is probably anywhere between 29K to 32K. It isn't feasible to do an exact count and the count as given is what I intended when I  ed. This does not include any of the infrastructure, code, config files, etc... Just raw content is being counted.Per chapter breakdown: Textbook: $ for file in *; do wc -w $file | cut -d" " -f1; done 1018 355 1492 1140 749 368 1037 633 1045 859 185 1257 1632 1318 1136 2018 1106 1504 724 859 1019 215 1213 543 730 748 970 11 77 726 376 829 764 386 1161 259 1536 629 477 237 158 183 1074 4 9 2 Fiction: $ for file in *; do wc -w $file | cut -d" " -f1; done 89 40 1740 1068 1056 1596 838 836 88 576 690 306 30 1057 30 2 No Gravitas fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Jan 31, 2017 |

More than made it! Though I'm still deleting a ton of the garbage I wrote after this. It feels less like garbage and I wrote more words so yay I guess? Oh well! Another month and there will be more words. At least it gives me something to do to stave off the crushing existential dread of existing.

Here's my word tracker. I'm pretty happy I made it even though it was by the skin of my teeth. Hopefully next month I'll be more consistent. I would be lying if I said the home stretch was easy and sadly I think I'm going to have to cut a few scenes on the re-write, but oh well 25k whoo.

I've got 5509 words worth of technical writing for the month, 3270 words worth of Thunderdome, and a frankly bullshit 1928 words on the long-form project that was my main aim for the month. Cleared my 8K, but next time I do this technical and tdome words don't count.

Phew. 15K words done. 9893 novel words  4149 other project words  1200 Thunderdome words https://thunderdome.cc/?story=5396&title=Dumb+Baby+Stuff Total: 15242 words, give or take a couple. This month didn't represent as much forward progress as I'd like, since I had to hack and slash a lot of bad words from last month, but now I feel like I'm going in a workable direction again. Yay.
