AGRHGH...

Languishing at 3000 words

[LMNO]

I have found myself blathering on incoherently about our BIP concepts/shrapnel/The Machine™/monkeys/etc.

It's not well thought out, and it doesn't make much sense, but I do seem to be able to vomit up a shitload of words when I do it.

Also re: roadblock.

Start writing about something completely different, like a new chapter with a new character in a new place with a new point of view.  Chances are, your subconscious will do its thing, and the Law of Fives will join the two threads together eventually.

I've decided to work on my Payne-RWHN Hybrid character. Am scouting through the Pun House thread for material, which seems to be helping.

Well, maybe that's my problem... I keep trying to implement the ideas in the story rather than just writing about the ideas

[hooplala]

Vomiting words sort of defeats the purpose doesn't it?  I mean, is this about writing a novel of 50,000 words within 30 days, or about writing 50,000 words within 30 days?  Anyone can write 50,000 words if they sit down and start typing.  Making it a somewhat coherent novel is what the actual contest is about, no?

Having said that, I didn't write anything at all over the weekend, so I am now behind.

[LMNO]

Wait... there's a purpose to this?



Heh.  Well, read my LMNanowrimO thread, and tell me if i'm doing it wrong.

[hooplala]

Naw, yours looks fine from what I just saw... I was going by your description which sounded more insane.

[LMNO]

Insane!?


They called me insane at the academy, but I'll show them, yes indeed...

Quantity over quality. Interpret that as you will.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Maybe I should get back on the bandwagon. I'd have to shit out 3000 words/day to achieve it, but... yeah, actually, no. Maybe when I'm not single-mothering anymore. Someday.

[LMNO]

Oh christ, I'm now listing the contents of my spice cabinet.  I'm still 2300 words behind.

[hooplala]

I've begun to write out of order now... I have several timelines going on, and was going back and forth between them, but now I am just going with one at a time and will put them together in December.

[Eater of Clowns]

BUMP

[EK WAFFLR]

I'm 817 words in. HOW THE FUCK AM I GOING TO MAKE THIS?

[LMNO]

It's November 11. You're not. I forget the calculation exactly, but you need about 1,500 words a day to even come close.
