What are you working on right now?

[Cathbad]

"pantsing"???

 

[Abernovo]

"pantsing"???

Writing 'by the seat of your pants', as opposed to meticulous Planning.

I take it that was your question. ;-)

Aahhh.

Thank yew.

 

[The Big Peat]

I'm surprised you've never heard the term before Cathbad! But yeah, Abernovo is right.

 

[Abernovo]

@The Big Peat - it happens. Very occasionally. Surprises me too, on those rare moments!

Where I come from, "pantsing" has a very different meaning.

I figured he was talking about something else.

*googles*

Man, why does everyone assume the worst of me?

I mean, I probably would have done that at school... and now in the right social setting... but...

 

[hopewrites]

Yes but would it inspire your writing process?

 

[Vaz]

Storming through my novella like a Velociraptor in an opium den. Alternating that with a short story about poison, dreams and oppression.

Then I'll start my civilizations on the backs of Dragons novella.

Well I am a big fan of brainless physical activity as a way of thinking through problems...

You've never been on NaNoWriMo in that case - I only became familiar with the term when I started doing NaNo.

I learned it in a thread title "are you a pantser or a plotter?"

I figured this is a quiz about revenge, or writing or both.

Well they say acting is the shy man's revenge and sure writing works even better for the shy than acting...

Feeling a horrible down-ness at completing Gilbert's story. His story thread comes in at 18,319 words which is around 3k over what I anticipated.(67,312 overall so far.)

I feel miserable* so I am going to bed, which is stupid, bearing in mind that this is an achievement that brings me nearer to completing the eternal WIP. At least at the end of the next (1349) period it's about nasty pieces of work getting come-uppance instead of good guys dying horribly.

<sniff>

* although I have not wept like a baby/idiot which is what I did with poor Nestor.

Gilbert! Nooooooooooo!

Up to just over 74,000 words on the rewrite of THE CURSED MAN. I've realised while working through the rough draft that a stumbling point of mine is dealing with politics and that. Will need to be revisited and thought about more carefully in the next edit, but I should be able to crack it.

 

[thaddeus6th]

Almost by accident, completed the first part of the Chinese-ish serial yesterday. Only about half the size I was hoping for, but, on the plus side, I did enjoy writing it and it's got (I think) the style I wanted. Lots of action. Still need to fix in a title. Probably going to go for Wandering Phoenix and Roaming Tiger.

I've written about 5k this last week from an characters POV I've struggled with, well, more or less her initial conception. I think we finally get each other. Cue angels singing!

No more Moaning, then?
