Yeah! Inspiration and flowing words and plot would be a nice thing :D
^I'm sure you can manage all of those things Darga ;) You've achieved more than me with your word count!
Anyway, I'm about to disconnect my internet and write but before I do, I am posting the next chapter up. It is a bit rough around the edges but the general sequence of events is correct.
About to disconnect my internet to attempt to write 5000 words by tonight.
See you on the other side.
2000 down. Another 3000 to go. I have a bit of an intense deadline lol. 40 000 words in a month eek!
2000 is good progress... But I thought you were meant to be internetless :P... So, shoo! Back to it!
1500 words left to go. This chapter is a bit easier than expected due to having some of it written in notes.
Phew.
Also, I will hate myself if I don't finish the deadline.
How do you type so fast without your fingers snapping :O
I don't have an issue with the fast typing thing. I can type fast... But 3500 words in two hours is obscene from an idea point of view! Give me some of that muse, woman!

Years of writing too much for both uni and fun. I can touch type these days and if the internet is pulled out I can't get distracted. I let myself back on to update in set word goal intervals.
And DF: It's because I already had the first draft done. It's riffing off those same ideas but making it better (I hope)
I've been doing the same thing and I still only average 60 words a minute. Clumsy fingers [act]grumble[/act]
But yes, it definitely is easier to get things done when it's basically already been done.
Sometimes... Sometimes editing can take longer and be even more deadly than doing the first draft.
Depends on how much you flail :P
lol you guys! Stop flailing Darga! you are great!
I guarantee you that I will write heaps now and have writers block again down the track. It's how I roll ;)
Well at least it's better than permanent writer's block.
YES- I made my word count for today finally (after a trip to the gym for some zumba and dinner out with the gal's)
I am on 40 000 words which means I am halfway there you guys!
Now another 40 000 to go for next month. I can do this...
I will post the last two chapters to prodders after I have polished them tomorrow.
Good work, Dweo! And yeah - 10000 a week is definitely doable :).
Congrats. Awesome effort for one day.[sup][/sup]
I am trying to edit what I wrote now and it is so hard. I have a headache :(
Sometimes you have to leave it a little while, when it's so fresh. Even the next day might make it a little easier.
Yeah. I refuse to edit my own work unless I've let it sit for at least a week. Too fresh in the mind otherwise.
I often leave mine till after I've finished the draft, but sometime if I have bits that I really struggle with (particularly late at night), I will wake up the next morning and compulsively go back over them. Like I did this morning. I don't think I really manage to improve them, but it makes me feel a little better, or at least able to move on :).
I get depressed and flaily when I do that :P Best to leave it until I forget about how bad it is.
Well I posted one chapter to prodders. Tomorrow can be time enough for the other.
