2k words a day challenge?

[Wocalich]

Yeah haha, good luck to both of us!

[JWZagst]

The stars shone brightly upon the grassy field and -- OH LOOK A SQUIRREL!

[EncryptedWriting]

LOL! Mine typically relates back to school, food, or work!

[JWZagst]

I will be writing an intense action scene and it will remind me of an anime fight and next thing you know I'm on YouTube instead of writing, lol.

[JWZagst]

Like this scene from my most recent episode was hard to get through because I kept thinking of Dragon Ball, lol. That's probably why I chose the music to go with it, hahaha.

[EncryptedWriting]

Ah I love it! Well done writing!

[JWZagst]

Thanks! I like your novel too! I'm definitely going to dive in deeper soon :D. Do you envision voices for your characters? In my head, Jaggerdaw and the Harlot are voiced by Mark Hamill and Arleen Sorkin, because, well... They kinda look like Joker and Harley, hahahaha. I created them in a Sims 4 opening:

[EncryptedWriting]

I don't have specific voice actors/people that I envision/hear for my characters. Rather I just hear them. It takes place in a british sort of aspect (despite me being very american), but that's just what happens, I figure it is better for the overall mood/tone of the story.

[JWZagst]

I ended up setting my story in Portland because that's where I live, lol. Plus since my team of superheroes are very progressive and forward-thinking, it seemed like the perfect place to put them :D. Four members of the team are LGBTQ+, including one who's genderfluid. Their leader is essentially a gay black Superman and is the foundation of their group.

EDIT: To clarify, Mallory Dane is not the leader. I wanted someone other than the "main" character to fill that role :D.

[EncryptedWriting]

Well, being somewhat gay myself (biromantic) , I do love the way that sounds. Gay black superman, intriguing to say the least.

[JWZagst]

His superhero alias is Captain Luminary, but his real name is Emmett Haldeman and his current love interest is a latino named Sebastian. They will have some major romance scenes in future episodes.

[JWZagst]

I also have a separate story idea that I will be turning into a novel either later this year or early next year called "He Wore Black Velvet," and it's a Victorian BL Fantasy about a young man who is thrown out of his village for being gay, so he travels to the Free City of Aedyria and is eventually taken in by an eccentric rich mage who always wears black velvet suits. The two eventually form a strong bond while simultaneously dealing with deep political corruption within the guilds that run the city.

[EncryptedWriting]

1k words done for the moment, 1k coming up later in the evening.

[jkb4753]

You are my hero. I am trying to motivate myself to keep up the word count

[EncryptedWriting]

It is difficult, let me tell you~! I keep thinking to myself, finish this novel finish this novel finish this novel.

[jkb4753]

Gosh I'm in the same boat. I'm done with the novel but below my word count, so I'm going through the chapters like "this one is 300 words short, this one 400...etc" this is SO STINKING HARD

Where do you find your motivation because i am struggle bussing it

[EncryptedWriting]

The only thing that has kept me going is word sprints. You are put against someone else and for a short period of time, you type as much as you can, trying to beat the other person. You then go back and edit what you wrote and rearrange things.

Right now I am sprinting by myself, just trying to get some inspiration down on the page.

[liseeclaire]

Managed to maintain 2k daily for a month now
If my sleep improves will attempt 3k next month (,,, or the month after that O:) )

[jkb4753]

Word sprints are great, I do better when I sprint with music. Do you listen to anything?
For me, adding to something that's already written is the absolutely miserable part. Like, individual sections of 1-200 words. THE WORST.

[sorin_gran]

I'm just beginning to get my grip together again and begin writing on my novel. For me, I generally aim for 5000 characters a day. But since this is like a nice challenge for the month. I mean, why not? My novel will be all the better because of it.
