Five Simple Steps to Becoming a Typewriting Monkey
The rewards/punishments of being a typewriting monkey
Word Count Goals, Oct 29-Nov 4
: Figure out what I want to do for Nano this year and put together a loose outline to prepare.
hmm, this sounds like something I need to get myself back to writing regularly... i think my word count for the week will be 1.5k don't want to go too crazy since classes just started back XD
Hmm. I know I said I would participate in the poo-flinging, but not the writing, but I think (if you'll allow it) I have a way I could manage to do both. It's a SLIGHT deviation from your word-count idea, but would work well with my 'project'. Basically, I do little passages based around an idea, with the intention of slotting them into my NaNo when I have every important passage complete. So, I was wondering, if I could instead name you a passage idea I have to complete?
Welcome!
Sure! This is really about what works for you so you're welcome to adjust it how you like. I have to go with word count myself as my outlines tend to be very very vague since I like to leave a lot of leeway for unexpected things to pop up. But if scenes work best for you then that's totally cool, just let me know what you want me to hold you accountable for at the weeks end, hehe. :)
Awesome, in that case my goal is to have the sunflower painting scene done :)
- My goal is 5k in two weeks is that aloud? Sooo 2.5k per week. I don't think I'll reach it, but I'm gonna try.
Trying is good - at the very least you should end up with more than you currently have, so that's got to be worth something, eh?
- Yeah, better than nothing I guess. I really want to at least catch up to the amount of words I had to cut from my story cus it needed badly to be re-written.
I'm busy with a personal challenge at the moment, so my goal for this week is 9k.
I had a dream someone sent me the expensive poo...
Don't panic if you're doing some last minute writing! I'm pinging slightly early since I'm pretty much about to pass out from sleep deprivation at the moment, lol. This is your reminder to post how you did on your writing goal for the week, and to set a new goal for the coming week. :)
Well that was fun . . . apparently I am a bad monkey. :'( Only managed to get to about 1200 words instead of the 2k I was aiming for, and it was like pulling teeth to get that many! But that's what I get for abandoning a story and trying to pick it up again later I suppose. On the upside, I am now 1200 words closer to having an ending to Chauncy's epic adventures and if I can keep this up for at least a bit it should get easier to write as I remember how everyone fits together. :) So all in all still feeling happy about having at least made some headway if not quite as much as I'd like.
And since we'll actually have a full week for a writing this time around, my new goal is 2.5k :)
- Well... I did zero, and after drivin for nearly 6 hours today, I don't feel like doing any last minute writing. Guess I'll have to get flung with poo and try again next week >.<
I sucked this week; I'd like to keep the same goal for the next week, seeing as that's the next thing to get complete. ducks and covers
I want to be a monkey =P I need something to keep me on track with writing. I haven't been doing much of it lately, which makes me very sad considering it used to be my number one (-cough- and only -cough-) preoccupation when I graduated from high school. This week, I'll try to write 2k words or more because I don't have much other work to do (for once). We'll see how that goes :)
Welcome! We're happy to add more monkeys to our little band, hehe. Added you to the list for this week. :)
Lol, guess we can all fling poo back and forth between us then. :P
I didn't realise you were gonna fling that much at me! I didn't actually have any junk in my inventory at the time ><
Oh you don't? Perhaps I need to send you more then. xD Seems like mine collects it, lol.
- Yay... I think I'll be lowering my standards this week, lets try for 1500 words, that's like 200 a day, I think I can handle that.
Am I just supposed to send your junk straight back to you? Haha! I have an inventory full of the food I need to feed Under for the Gourmet achievement; I'm so nearly there!
