QQ Writing Club

Starting this Saturday, I'm going commit myself to writing at least 1,200 words a day on my novel, Sys Admins vs. Cryptic Souls.

Probably need to write more to meet my two-month completion goal for my novel, but it's a start.

I'm not starting just yet since I've gotta finish up some outlining.

(I saw this thread was dormant, but I wanted to do the challenge. Please don't smite me, mods.)

I'd forgotten about the writing club. This brings back some memories.

Feel free to post commitments in here if you'd like. It's what the thread is for, so I doubt the mods mind.

If there's interest in restarting the writing club challenges, I'm willing to return to actively managing the thread. I can't make any promises on the banners we used to give out as rewards, though. It's been quite awhile, and I'd need to check in with the admins to see if they're willing to keep giving them out.

I'm definitely using the thread to stay on task, so I'm appreciate that you and the mods have got the time.

Now for commitments, I've got good news and bad news.

Good News: I wrote my first 1,200 words, though much that is for the end of the novel since I immediately knew how I was closing it out and wanted to get it in a document while it was fresh in my head. I'm also low-key scared of rushing the ending towards the end of my two month deadline, so this is insurance against that. I was a little bit of a lazy fuck though, since I stopped exactly at 1,200 words because ...

Bad News: I'm still working on my master outline, which will help me write this novel faster and stay on track, because I don't have a whole lot of spare time to get this done properly. This weekend is going to a drop-dead effort to put this to bed.

That's pretty much my progress at the moment. If anyone is interested, I'll post very rough draft excerpts in spoilers here as I go along, but the finished product is going to have its own thread.

Getting at back it now.

I did the standard 1,200 words this morning, before resuming the outline after tackling some non-writing stuff today. I've got enough surviving hours in the day to finish this outline, which mean I'm free just worry about drafting next! 😉

I'll share the progress with y'all soon.
