I feel smart

I just figured out that if I start writing today for the jb_bigbang I only have to write a little less than 100 words per day to make 15k by the deadline AND have some time to spare.  Who wants to bet I have it done before then?

If you're a writer OR an artist (or want to try either) you should go join the community and sign up!  This is gonna be a lot of fun

omg I just signed up for both writing and art. hahaha I'm really excited. I've never done this before. haha

[vanessatolins]

I signed up for both as well!
YAY US!
-high five-

I've never done this before, either
but the 100 words per day is a truefact btw!
So if you're really struggling just aim for that minimum per day!

[gellyn]

YES *high fives back*

Sweetness. I'll keep that in mind when I start, I don't want to get like, 11,000 into this and think "What have I gotten myself into!?" or just become inactive.

So excited for this. I'm actually excited for the art too if not more than writing the story... UH. It's been too long. Maybe I should start drawing the boys for practice while I wait. hahaha

LOL yeah I know what you mean so
yeah
definitely have some kind of minimum per day you want to meet in terms of word count!

I make manips with my photoeditior
IDK if you read my fic Growing Down, but I made a manip for that one and posted it with the story lol
I can also make videos and playlists and stuff
draw etc...
so I'm looking forward to both art and writing!

Gah, I wana sign up for writting.

BUT IM WORRIED I WON'T HAVE IT DONE IT TIME, and then I have fears that my story will suck.

We do get to write what we want, but it has to have a JB in it, and it has to have a minimum of 15 k words, right?

[vanessatolins]

yeah and i fyou start tomorrow and write a min of 100 words per day it's MORE THAN enough time. trust me. there's a faq and everything. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY DO IT

[tropicaltaylor]

AH, I just signed up, and Im gonna try to get 100 words in each day (:

Iv'e never written over 2 k, so this should be interesting.

Im confused, the FAQ says we turn in our draft and summary on July 1st, for the artist. The draft isn't the whole story is it?

And when is the FINAL deadline, like when we have to turn our storys in?

Yeah, this is the first time iv'e ever done anything like this. AH. BTW, added you back (:

[vanessatolins]

yeah you have to have the story FINISHEd by july 1st
first COMPLETE draft etc..
and like i said
100 words a day will get you there with time to fool around.
Once you get writing, though, and get into it you will probably write more than 1200 per day and finish really early (which is gonna happen to me haha)

hahaha I was like
'how did she see my entry when she doesn't list me as a friend and I'm not her flist?'
-friends anyway-
xD

The final deadline is in August I think. but you need a compelte 15kmin fic by July 1st
dot have to be beta'd by that point, just a first draft
but it has to be complete
