THE LONG WALK

10: The name of the first month is Banuary



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? 1,398,000. 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 yes, if you've signed up: synirc, #longwalk, but most of us hang out in #thunderdome

where are the previous months April, May June July, August, September, October , November, December

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 at least a year, but if it's working for people there's no reason it couldn't go on longer

have you played ockarina of time penis penis penis

awright, check in people time is a ticking. Apparently Thryrork is not a failure after all so I'll take him off the shitlist, apologies Thyr.

Well...here's the thing. I just finished a 50k-word novel, and I just promised myself I'd take weekends off from now on, because I'm writing 25k words Monday-Friday after work at 5k per day. If I don't take weekends off, I bottom on during the week and end up writing fewer words overall.

The novel is 50k words, and I need to do a full editing pass before I start my next one. I also want to read another book (market research) before I outline and start my new one, so I can't simply just pound out 10k words. I'm making some decent money at this, so the ~$30 getting banned from SA will cost me is less than the cost of loving up my entire writing schedule to squeeze out 10k words

:banme:

ok
