NaNo Count: 43,302 words total. I am this close, guys, but only to word count - I get the feeling the story's going to go on for a while longer yet. I am perfectly okay with this. :|b ( Read more... )

I really, really want to know the context of that one. XD

Repeated words and phrases have made up a whole load of my words. That and things like "well" or "really". And if you'd like any help with betaing, I'd be happy to help!

Someone learned to barter and was all sorts of pleased at the results. :Db

Yeah, I rely far too much on "really" and stock two-word phrases like "he replied" and "he shrugged." Writing a ton of conversation all in one go is tough. And I would be more than happy to dump my ~100-page document on you if you want to look it over.

Adverbs are awesome for word counts too. I mean, why just do something when you can do something with another word or two attached? :D

And sure, feel free to send it on over! I can't promise to beta all hundred odd pages in one go, but I can do it in bits.

Because I have no patience for adverbs while I'm on a time limit? 8D There are definitely parts that will need rewriting once NaNo is over -for I shall save the adverbs for then.

I'll send it over once I hit both 50k and a good stopping place (and once I run spellcheck, since I'm not that cruel...I think). I'm not expecting you to look over the whole thing all at once either - that would be all sorts of crazy. Also, when you do read it, feel free to mark off entire sections with "JEEZ, TERRA, SHUT UP ALREADY," because man does his inner monologue ever ramble.

Sounds like a plan! :D I should have a bit more free time next month anyway, so just send it over whenever's good for you. You probably still have my email from help_japan, right?

Now I have this mental image of Terra just sitting in a corner and doing some very loud inner brooding. XD Ven would stand by and give him the "OK SHUT UP NOW" looks, because we all know he's too nice to say it out loud.
