736 words; they can't all be 3k days!! #AmWriting
did a re-read of #omgcp year one on discord...jack zimmermann you were completely wild my guy
Me: what do hockey players eat
Reddit: cocaine and chicken
Reddit: food
Reddit: >> source?
#AmWriting is always an adventure.
somewhere between 9k-14k to go! Who knows maybe my draft will end up longer than 75k, giving me, my agent and hopefully an editor room to cut stuff. THE DREAM.
3,141 words tonight!
Me: idk if I am having a manic episode or what but
Becca: if it's not harming you and you can write 3k in one day you're DOING GREAT
#AmWriting
thank you, people on sports teams, for answering my laundry questions on reddit like six years ago so I can just search them up and then incorporate the facts into my writing
It lives in my head rent free along with βyou canβt do thatβ, my other favourite penalty
tbf I think I've had covid like three times during that span and moved and changed jobs and been doing three people's jobs at work the whole time, so it's honestly a miracle I am writing at all
would love it if they hired more people but they won't so
No new pictures.
Where are you at mentally?
thank youuuu. 12-17k to go! and then crutch words and editing before I can finally send this baby to my agent (like four years overdue)
D&D was moved! More time to write. My first draft was ~48k and the goal is to get it to 70-75k. Which is hard! But I've got a plan, and I've made it to 58k ish tonight (another 780 words since this morning!). PROGRESS.
631 more words between work this morning and I've run out of steam. Gonna pick it up again after D&D tonight. My players have a party to infiltrate at a mansion!
haha I did a little more!!
(I said that and then I wrote like 600 more words and it's one AM and I really have to go to bed but damn I could keep going why does this always happen at one AM)
722 words tonight and I'd write more but, unfortunately as you know, we live in a society and I have work tomorrow. #AmWriting
Friday and I have games tonight + had an absolutely batshit bananas day at work. 643 words.
(I do have notes about some stuff to add. This is just the hard stretch! 15-19k to go.)
1,591 words today! And now i have no idea what else to add. COME ON, BRAIN.
It's D&D night.
My goal is another 18-22k which sounds both terrifying and achievable somehow now
So Iβm BACK ON MY BS. I added ~500 words to the draft Monday and another 1,800 tonight. Finally feeling like the writers block might finally leave me alone for a little while ππππ€π»π€π»π€π»
Me: this is great because Becca is a professional editor AND knows nothing about hockey, so she can tell me if things don't make sense
Me: what is Becca getting out of this
I did the math:
1.5k/week = 20 weeks
1k/week = 30 weeks
1.5k/5 days/week = 4 weeks
1k/5 days/week = 6 weeks
Anyway we bumped writer's club to two days a week instead of once a week, starting next week. Becca and I are going to swap drafts when we hit specific goals.
Writer's club is coming along (finally hit 50k, goal is 75-80k) despite one of the cats SABOTAGING me all night by trying to steal and/or climb inside a whole bag of chips and getting mad at me every time I stopped her
we pretty much just are silent unless we need help. The idea is to keep each other accountable and write for 1-2 hours
mondays at 8 in the general voice chat!
#AmReWriting, added 1,500ish words to the draft today (after removing many) and finally hit 59k! The goal is ~75kish and Becca and I have reinstated writer's club, which will help a lot.
I moved, I got hella sick, and I am BACK AT IT.
anyway if you're wondering why I vanished off the internet on this account, it's because all I've done since october is look at places / buy a place / declutter / pack / disassemble furniture etc etc etc
and I read 426 books in 2024, so there is that, too
I am not moving _far_, but the last time I moved was 14 years ago and it was a lot cheaper and easier back then. Also, I have accumulated Too Much Stuff. I've gotten rid of so much and YET.
Hi it's me, the person who decided to move house during Awesome Games Done Quick and won't have internet for several hours in the middle of it, anxiously reading the schedule like "THERE BETTER NOT BE A ZELDA DURING MY MOVE"
For some reason there is a ferris wheel and a merry go round in yonge dundas square???
