#word update

[decodamalion]

HAPPY NANO Y'ALL!

I'll be continuously reblogging this post to update on my word count per day!

My goal is 45000, that's 1500 words per day!! LETS DO THIS THING!

[authortango]

I wrote 863 words tonight! Met my word count for the day and even went a little over! Not only that, but I’m finally getting to a scene that I’ve been anticipating for a while, so hopefully the writing continues to get smoother from here.

Here’s a little snippet I particularly liked from this writing session!

“Alright, the car’s name is Rhino. Again, not sure why we’re naming it, but whatever. Rest well everybody, we’re on the road all day tomorrow, and I’d rather us be on the alert until we get to the elves.” Not feeling the need to recap the plans for tomorrow, Spencer headed towards the cabinet to retrieve his sleeping bag and set up camp. Cyrus nudged Skylar’s side with his elbow and said,

“Aw, bummer about the Hercules beetle name. I did really like that one.”

“Yeah, well, Rhino was pretty cute.”

“I’m glad you recognize the best quality of my chosen name.” Samuel said, leaning into their conversation. “There’s two principles to stick to when you name things. One - the main physical appearance of the thing. Two - what that physical appearance reminds you of. Somehow, the more generic the outcome is, the cuter the name is.”

“I don’t think that’s how that works.” Skylar scoffed, amused by Samuel’s tip. “But I do still appreciate the name nonetheless.”

“Ah, it’s really whatever. Your’s was really good too. Although, The Rolling Beatles was a little flat.”

“I thought that one was good too, personally.” Rhys piped up, breaking away from his conversation with Lydia to poke his head into the conversation.

“That’s because you love cheesy jokes, you dork.” Samuel snorted, pushing Rhys’ shoulder to make him lay flat on the floor.

“True. That’s why I voted for it in the first round.” Rhys laughed. Skylar joined him.

“Oh god. I’m glad you thought it was funny, although obviously it was terrible. That’s part of why I thought up Hercules last second. I’m not the comedian around here.”

“Yeah, I would say cheesy clown comedy is not your style for sure, but you could always do something different. We’ll make a comedian out of you yet.” Rhys replied, smiling at Skylar as he lay upside down on the floor. He shortly sat up though, and resumed his conversation with Lydia about what school was like before the academy.

First day totals

DONT BE AMAZED. I kind of cheated on the first day. I’m picking up a story I’m already working on so I put in the section and wrote 182 new words. Still, I’m going to stick to my 556 to 1667 words a day from now on.

Word Count Update 11/20/19

I actually updated pretty recently, but I’ve made considerable progress, so I figured I’d share it with you guys!  Last time, 9 days ago, I updated and was at:

Which I was pretty excited about anyway.  

I got to some of my favorite scenes, so writing has been pretty easy.  Now I’m at:

8,308 words in 9 days.  I’m extremely excited about that.

I hope I can keep this streak up, it might be done in 100 days if so.  Which, it’s not going to be, but if I applied myself, yeah, it could be.

So I promise I'm still working

It's just proving to be a pain in the butt. I am almost done with the flats and it has this really cool minimalist look to it, especially on the pokemon with more than just 2 colors. Once I am done I will post it up. It's just proving to take a lot longer than I originally intended.

so all you minecrafters following me:

progress on items and whatnot has been set aside because i discovered the more paintings mod and it is 

amazing

and now i have over 200 paintings to fill in, so i'm going to be doing that for a while instead of items and armor and junk

although of course i will post painting updates on here so you can see my ~*lovely artwork*~

when i eventually release this pack, i'm planning on having one normal kz file and one 'tiny pics edition' file, so that modless people can still use it. but i recommend getting more paintings because it is fantastic and because i am putting in the effort to make all these paintings.

Words that need to be brought back into the national lexicon:

Jabroni

Lousy

Turkey (when used as an insult)

Example: "That lousy turkey tried to make me look like some kind of crumby jabroni, when he pointed out my fresh shoes."

[perfectmidnightworld]

Not nearly enough people are using the phrase "Get Bent!", these days. I'm bringing that back. Also, the word "lousy" is primed for a comeback. It's time to hit the streets with this knowledge.
