There are nano statistics that could be chartified and published, but they are singularly dull because I tended to write the same amount almost every day, at almost the same time every day, and few of my friends wrote enough for a month long word count comparison. Actually, I don't think I'm even aware of three people I know that finished ( Read more... )

I just wrote a scene that was actually... really intense for me to write. Most scenes are just people being sarcastic to each other, or things that happened, but this one really hit me in an emotional way. I'm sure the writing won't reflect this, and will just fall flat when people are reading it, but I hope not. It's entirely possible that I've ( Read more... )

I am once again using the all-powerful Mediawiki software to worldbuild. This time, hosting it online rather than offline.

The proper words ( Read more... )

Stopped at 50,461 tonight. But I'm trying to figure out how much more story is left, and it looks like about 35-40%. So I should be able to finish in November, probably around 80k or so. Perhaps much more. Time will tell. I kind of need to step back and remember what the story is about ( Read more... )

Passed forty thousand last night. I've been trying to make each chapter useful and also interesting. Hard to work it out, all the time. Sometimes the things I want to write are really somewhat irrelevant to the story that is being told. One of the problems of having a relatively well developed world ( Read more... )

Summary for the mathophobic: My wordcount is 6,048 and I blather about my spreadsheet. Skip the rest lest ye perish ( Read more... )

Today was a normal workday. Except that we were allowed to break dresscode. Therefore I did.
