The chronicles word counter!

TBM is now exactly 83,900 words. But that does include the title and my name and address.

Synopsis pretty much done, I reckon. I'm going to look at it again tomorrow and then screw it all and send it off anyway.

Collaborative effort is now: 15,206

And my new untitled lady-being-dug-up thing is: 379 words.
 
Title: I, Singularity
Start Date: January 2012
Genre: Super Hero.
Word Count: 38,072 words.
Status: Since it was originally intended for the Terry Pratchett First Novel Award contest 2012, the story needed to be at least 80,000 words. So, almost halfway there. Assuming all the words currently written live to see the final edit.

P.S. This is a forum post I found suggesting that there will be a 2013 Terry Pratchett First Novel Award contest. http://ttapress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2252
 
Under Elysium's Light: Book 1
Completed Chapter 13.
Total 58,222

Next chapter a very slow, but key one.
 
TBM has somehow gained ten words today. It's also gained an extra version, so I now have 4 files. Pah.
 
It's been a while...

Novel: The Eternity Sphere
. Genre: SF for YA
Word Count: 101K
Status: Draft 5 (and final). I've amended incidences of WAS as far as chapter 6, FELT up to chapter 8. Still to do - act on readers' feedback.

Novel/Novelette/Short Story (who knows?): The Fall
Genre: Rural, then Urban Fantasy/Horror
Word Count: 1,400
Status: I know the beginning, I know the ending. Feeling my way through a first draft, hoping the story will come to me as I write slowly

Novel: The Eternity Sphere
Genre: SF for YA
Word Count: 99,950 (it was momentous when I wrote over 100k words, and it's momentous when I get below it again)
Status: Draft 5 (and final). Incidences of WAS, FELT and SEEM addressed. Some kept, the little darlings. Still to do - act on readers' feedback.

Novel/Novelette/Short Story (who knows?): The Fall
Genre: Rural, then Urban Fantasy/Horror
Word Count: 3,300
Status: Getting to grips with my over-elaborate, Memento-style plotting
 
Under Elysium's Light, Chapter 14:Sympathy for the Devil completed (I don't think I have ever had a character talk so much in a single chapter)

Word Count now 63,299

I now need to fill the space between here and the last chapter... have a few interludes worked out, just got to get the main story twisted into shape.
 
And my new untitled lady-being-dug-up thing is: 379 words.

Is now 396. But, I'm not going to continue with it despite liking the not-dying thing, I'm just not feeling anything for it. I just can't work out what's going on in the scene and I can't feel anything for the POV character. So, I need to start something else.

:confused:
 
Galaxy of flowers, which is my only active wip at the mo, though Inish is due some work before being subbed, up to 11838. I'm starting to like it, though it's taken a wee while. :)
 
Circumbinary: just starting the major rewrite/edit (read overhaul - I've moved forwards since starting this little project). It might possibly get renamed, as well.

1,000 words done. Only the other 90+K words to tackle, but it finally has a stable framework - and I've worked out some of the kinks. (not that kind of kink, young rodent :p)
 
Now that I have reached a point that seems to require a slight break, I'm leaving the superheroes and text alone for a little bit, and as a way of keeping creativity going am playing around with an old comic strip...

Very hard to give a word count, but basically tidying it up, re-lettering it and getting it together to be let loose as a graphic novel type thingy.
 
TBM is now 83,918 words! I added a brand new sentence today, and a brand new comma. Exciting stuff. I just now need to try to make the end more dramatic.
