Welp, again barely made it. I really should stop doing most of the work at the very end of the month. First, I ended my long-running Master of Orion 3 LP this month: MO3 156: The Age of Rebellion VI: The Undiscovered Sector MO3 157: The Age of Rebellion VII: Orion Generations MO3 158: The Age of Rebellion VIII: Orion Contacts However, three final update came up a bit short, according to my text editor it's at most 8198 words. So I sat back down this evening and went back to an older project I keep tinkering around with, and collected and reordered some old fragments and other electronic paperwork to turn it into a proper writing project. Then started writing again. The reorganizing turned my old files into a text 5447 words long, which sadly doesn't cound because while organizing files certainly is work, it's not writing. So I kept writing until I stopped after a good stopping point to catch my breath. The new text is now 7436 words long. In other words, the total tally for this month was 8198 + 1989 = 10187 words. 10187 words for January 2024 OK, in hopes I pace myself better and because I still have a huge backlog of old projects to get running again and new poo poo to start, I pledge again 10k for February. May I survive my hubris.

Welp, as always really loving late, but I did it: This link goes to a document I filled up with a mad treatise about making a good space 4x game. Next month I'll probably go back and finish it, I dunno. I mostly wrote this so my thoughts wouldn't drive me insane. 7k words, give or take a couple dozen. This link however, goes to an update I wrote for my Operation Eastside screenshot LP. About 3,2k words. 10k for February: Achieved! And again I pledge 10k words for March 2024

I'm traveling for the holidays and away from my computer so I can't post my document just yet. https://ibb.co/87qjgs1 Edit: Got in late last night too tired to post, but here is 4,105 words. Not a pleasant experience. My novel seems to be fighting me. I'm gonna take a break from the main project and maybe just work on short story/flash fiction stuff. Pledging 4k for April

Again, I planned my time so badly I was forced to write 6k words in just under three days, but also again, I made it! And this time I managed to concentrate on extending and reworking existing poo poo, instead of my old curse of just constantly starting new stuff. 1. Fantasy. Started as just a short story, but then exploded into an entire setting. I'll keep working on this to see where it goes. Current stat is ca. 8064 words, 2412 words written this month. 2. Science Fiction. I keep working on this since forever. One of my oldest projects, and I also keep rewriting things because I have a real problem with changing my mind constantly. In March, this text blew up into 15033 words. Of which, 7795 words were written in this single month alone. This makes the total for March 2024: 10207 words. Man, this was far too close. I'm also running into the problem how to count editing my backlog of finished older stuff. Obviously, just counting words would give me bizarre cases where e.g. a 10k word text turns into an 8k text after extensive rework, and then I'd have written -2k words, which makes no sense. But keeping a proper tally of how many words I keep deleting/writing new seems like a lot of extra work. Just declaring the entirety of the changed text to be the new word count sounds unethical to me, too. So I guess for April, I'll go with a compromise: I'll pledge 8000 words, to give myself a little buffer in which I can edit things. Hopefully, this works out!

One of these days, I will manage to actually post on a day that's not literally the last day of the month, ugh. Anyway, most of what I did in April was related to my Operation: Eastside Let's Play, so let's look at the final count: The penultimate update was, according to my text editor, 3860 words. The last main run update ended up clocking in at 4732 words. There was also this mess. 7019 words, a lore update for the same thread. I only count maybe 2k of those, since most of it was already written, I just revised, edited and added stuff. The original word count I remember from last time was something like 3-4k, and I'm playing it safe and rounding down heavily. 3,8k 4,7k 2k Approximately 10,5k words. Huh. Looks like working so much on that dumb treatise about space doors would have been enough to even pull me through a 10k-word goal. gently caress it, too late. Also I'm playing it safe again: 8000 words for May, go!
