Writing isn't Rocket Surgery, Hex. It's much more difficult.

P.S. I, Singularity now at 47,027 words. Currently editing to accommodate new noir story thread plotline thingie.

And I've got an idea for a story called Rocket Surgery. Bwahahahahahaha!!!

Just wrote a long scene about scones. I think this story will need some trimming.

Just about to start chapter 11 which deals with the next big revelation in the story.

 

[ratsy]

I found 30 min before my dinner out (great sushi restaurant with my wife, sister in law and her husband) and I pounded out a solid character chapter about her childhood and it created a lot of plot tie in potential. My WiP is now a solid 5,200 words. I could have sat for hours with words flying off my fingers.

I hope to get some more done this weekend (long weekend in parts of canada)

 

[David Evil Overlord]

I, Singularity is now 50,071 words. Just started a scene where the MC goes into a shop to buy a new phone. but that's not what she gets...bwahahahahaha!!

 

[David Evil Overlord]

Just finished the scene (the first draft, anyway). I, Singularity now 50,629 words.

Good work to everyone else posting on this thread.

Have finished the first draft of the reveal. Mostly happy with how it turned out.

Character has been doing things I didn't see coming. She's a determined girl. Hoping her thriller-esque behaviour meshes gracefully with the story's environment. Most of this is very spare -- needs filled in with detail like what things looks like.

(and I need to say thank you to Abernovo, too. He knows everything!)

 

[Jo Zebedee]

He does, he's incredible. (I have been annoying him for Galaxy as well.)

Galaxy, having gone off on a tangent and been thoroughly advised it isn't working, I am now strangely confident about the approach I was taking before.

So, 33,269, with the end still to be drafted, but for now, back to the beginning and add some layers and structure.

For days when that gets too much:

The Waters and the Wild, magical realism, probably a short story: 2,384.

I'm also doing a shave off Abendau's Child and have reduced it by about 2000 words, all of the sledgehammer variety...

 

[Abernovo]

Thank you, both, but you exaggerate; the tiny molehill of my knowledge is vastly outweighed by the huge mountain of my ignorance.
And, you weren't annoying at all, springs. Neither of you are.

 

[Mouse]

Aber knows lots of dodgy stuff too, tis great.

Uh...

BGN - the collab: 24,537 words.
Untitled new thing: 2,345 (which is a pleasing number, isn't it!)

 

[David Evil Overlord]

I, Singularity is now 52,062 words. Our hero has just discovered why it's a very good idea for time-travelling meddlers to set their spacetime co-ordinates correctly.

 

[Juliana]

Project Angel has had a makeover and is now lower MG fiction, nicknamed Tessa.

Text flowing beautifully; started three days ago and at 4029 word count.

 

[ratsy]

Found a few minutes and now up to 6,000 words. I hope to end chapter three today.

 

[subtletylost]

Chronologically speaking Doomed has 24846 words but that's only the words that are in the chapters that are in their proper place. There are 4342 words elsewhere.

 

[ratsy]

Been a busy week and have not had much writing time. I will try to buckle down and get something done in the next couple days.

Current Word Count : 6,512

 

[Glisterspeck]

Is there a word cutter thread? I'm trying to get my total word count to a publishable 120,000, and have a strong two part structure. Having finished the first part, I'm trying to do an edit that strengthens the story while getting the first half down to 55 - 60,000 words. Anyway, might be fun to have the same sort of thread, but for editing down.

 

[allmywires]

The Blind Tiger version ten million: 19,042 words, figured out how I want it to end (yay!) and I'm writing pretty sparsely so there's lots of room for bulking too.

Somewhat astonishingly I am now on 30,861 and only on chapter 6...out of 20.

Could be a long one...

I know me so well.
