National Novel Writing Month

[Suikama]

You forgot your own word count :V

Also just made the threshold for today. Phew.

[Bias Bus]

Another day of not being productive. Still at the beginning of the story. Generally angry at myself for wasting a day...but hey, I guess my house really DID need cleaning.

Will say that I'm a little happy of how I had pig loli uncover the plot point of the story.

Spoiler:

She walked in on two teachers doing it in the classroom.

[theshirn]

Came up a bit short today, but I got stuck for a little while.  Now I've got the story moving again.  I'm also introducing characters at I suspect far too high a rate, but...I'll figure it out.

[RainfallYoshi]

The (most likely) final word count for today is 3,082. Hot damn where does this writing come from and how the hell did I manage so much so fast.  :V

[Suikama]

Oh god.

Suddenly words.

But for all the wrong reasons.

What the hell is wrong with me :getdown:


Oh that's right :3

[Alfred F. Jones]

Oh that's right :3

"I'm Suikama"?

[Suikama]

"I'm Suikama"?

Oh Yeah BV

[Fightest]

Missed another deadline, what with yesterday being too exhausting for any constructive writing, meaning I'll have to play 7-page catchup today. Oh boy.

[trancehime]

Wrote 3.2k words in a little over an hour, I may add more to that later.

Trying to aim for 20k, but I might not make it.

20k get!

[Garlyle]

20k get!

You have my envy
AND MY AXE

I'm actually supposed to go meet with my Municipal Liason today, because she seriously works like a ten minute walk from my place.  And then I'm going to a three-hour meetup/write-in on Saturday afternoon at some cafe, at which point I should hopefully churn out a tonne.

[RainfallYoshi]

Just woke up and feeling ready to do more writing once I shower and food and stuff. According to SomewhatMystia I'm a genius machine to write 3k words in one day ohlol.

[andrewv42]

10,400 words, and my head HURTS, IT HURTS BADLY.

Time to get some sleep. 

[Alfred F. Jones]

I have three words of my novel, Shoot the Tengu.

They are "Shoot the Tengu".

.... I'll write more when I get back from school tonight. >_>

[theshirn]

"Shoot the Tengu"

I see nothing wrong with this.

[Moerin]

Gaaah why is it so difficult to introduce the schoolgirls of the apocalypse why god why.

Oh well, up to 4371, so at least I wrote more today than I did yesterday.  Sigh.

[Bias Bus]

This is why I was reluctant to join this.

I haven't done shit else for writing, and I'm wasting time doing other shit on the internet. This is frustrating and I swear I'm going to destroy my DSL box if I slack off again.

Son of a whore.

[KomeijiKoishi]

I start to become like my main character: At first with a lot enthusiasm, but my ideas slowly run out. All I need is somebody telling me about some weird ritual and stuff would get even weirder than it already is.

[Garlyle]

The Bechdel Writing Test is a simple test usually applied both to paper and film writing, and is as follows:

1. It has to have at least two women in it,
2. Who talk to each other,
3. About something besides a man.

How many of us can happily say we failed this? 8D

[FinnKaenbyou]

Hey, I have a female protagonist, so I pass pretty consisely.

Also I literally made my update and post about 5 minutes before the deadline holy shit that was the most awesome thing ever. Also 10K GET FUCK YEAH

[trancehime]

Nope, I didn't fail it, consider that I have two independently strong female protagonists and the male characters are just sidekicks.

[Prody]

Help! I'm way behind schedule!

[theshirn]

I have discovered a problem.

When I'm trying to make characters smarter than I am, and they're supposed to come up with brilliant plans, and oh crap I can't think of anything...

[Garlyle]

The opposite is coming up with a stupid alternative to a smart plan because none of your characters are smart enough (or vocal enough) to come up with something like what you originally intended.

...Actually I've realised my main character is an idiot and it's bothering me.  *Cracks knuckles* Time to... fix that.

[Fightest]

I'm having the exact same problem. The answer is to come up with a half-baked non-solution that only makes things worse.

I would wager that MotK, being what it is, would actually be quite strong on the Bechdel coefficient. A more interesting question would then be to pose is how many fail the Inverse Bechdel Test?

[trancehime]

That is a very scary and intriguing thought, Mister Fightest.

[KomeijiKoishi]

Well, I already failed the test. As for now, there is only one female character in my story, and she's only there for writing discussions with the main character.

I think I'm gonna stand in that corner for a while...

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Male characters? So far there aren't any in my story, and if any are to appear they will probably only be cannonfodder to psycho-lolis :V

[Alfred F. Jones]

Si hubiera aprendido como hablar en el espa?ol castellano en lugar del espa?ol mexicano, esto seria mucho m?s f?cil. O por lo menos m?s autentico.

Pobre Navarra.

[trancehime]

スペイン語ですか？

えっと．．．日本語はＯＫですか？

Just kidding, anyway, I'm gonna slack a bit, I won't go the full 5k/day, I will probably settle for 3k+. Or I might, depending on my mood.

[Garlyle]

This is.... startlingly accurate.  Oh dear.

Spoiler:

I pass it with flying colors because yay replacing a castful of female homosexuals with male homosexuals!
