THE LONG WALK

27: Frank Herbert's June



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 money respect sex nothing you deserve.

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? 3,259,000. Some of them might have been good? idk

what happens if I gently caress it up every promise has to have a :toxx: 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 2015 April, May June July, August, September, October , November, December, 2016 January, February, March, April, May
June, July, September, October, November, December, 2017January, February, March, April, May

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 softly and you will not attract the worm the worm will come irregardless, your mewling boots nothing 'Duke' Atreides

:toxx: complete another draft of this short story. It will undoubtedly be over 4K words but I'm not going to toxx for more than that because idk yet.

I have a feeling July's toxx will be seppuku

I'll def have words to show but they're not the short story I intended to revise. Just shy of 5K novel words + whatever I did in TD this month.

ummm so yeah, Mojo I already talked to you about this, but my :toxx: was all about my short story and I couldn't, I just couldn't bring myself to go straight back to revising it. Next month, maybe?

So I offer you 5K novel words as penance



I've done other writings this month too but I don't feel like collecting all the screenshots.
