    I've been done with mine for a few days with a wordcount of 9.8k. Looks like I'm going to have one of the longer ones, then.

    Trimming the word count is proving more difficult than expected. A beta reader helped to trim off 90 words... when what I need is 700 or more. Looks like I'll need to start killing my darlings... cocks handgun

    At 10700 words, 1800 of them written today, I have finished the complete first draft of my entry! Not too worried about going over the word count limit at this point as I know I'll need to trim stuff anyway to improve the pacing. I'll inform my betas right now, and I think I'll do some...

    I passed 5k a bit ago myself. Over halfway there, at least I hope so. Required daily wordcount has dropped to 165, but I'm still gonna keep up my 200+ pace to have enough time, and it's been working out pretty well anyway. Regardless of length when finishing, I think I'm gonna cut some stuff...

    I'm already getting signs of growing sick of mine... I hope that passes. A forced story won't be as good, if it's even finished.

    a question for the other participants, hopefully general enough to be within the rules: do you tend to put your priority more on a unique and dramatic concept or a story that has minimal plot holes and pacing issues? i'm a bit worried my story may be too boring in the end, a price paid for...

    I've been keeping a steady rhythm of 200+ words a day ever since I managed to form my idea into a sufficient enough outline, but today I did hit a block upon realizing my events didn't fit together as I'd planned earlier. I think I've come up with a solution to it now, though, and I sure hope it...
