Word Count Challange!

[AngelAzariah]

Greetings again,
_____Seeing how the other challange thread has grown so long, I thought it was time to open a new one. Same goal as before, you work all day, and post your word count here!
_____It dosn't matter if you did 50 words, 500, or 5,000, and some of us do all of those and no work at all. As for me, today I pulled off re-writing the end of chapter 19... so 1,162 is my word count for the day.

Note:
_____If you don't know how to check how many words you've edited or wrote, do the following: select the portion you worked on, click "Tools" in your word toolbar, and it should have "Word Count" in it.

[DrRita]

Well, here I am, it's 10:30 pm and I've only written 367 words. I'm starting a new story and the beginning is always so hard for me. But at least I started. There's always tomorrow

[Hisart]

Hi All! :D
I don't know if you guys are for real about this or not. :confused:
I started a story after last weeks chat called Graven Image, I'm up to 3670 :eek: words but I have no idea of my daily. :o I'm doing my own re-write as I go (with a little help from Merry !thumbsup! ), so how do you count that? I don't know if this is a brag board for the well seasoned or if it's meant to be an encouragement? :confused: When I write it's when the six are down and so is the sun. ;) I write till I about pass out then I go to bed. My RW is the next day. I love to write but I'm an Artist, I must create! I spend most of my time working on art and not as much time writing, how's that figure? :confused:
Oh well, that's enough of me!
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[AngelAzariah]

DrRita,
_____Only 367 words for starting a new story? I tried to write a new story three days ago, and I couldn't even get past twenty words! ;) I think you did very well, but that's just my openion I guess, it's only an openion. :p

Hisart,
_____I'm pretty seriuse about this challange. I don't compare myself to others counts, so it's not a matter of braging. Jones almost wops everyones bud every day on count. The point is to be acountable for your tallents.
_____There are some people here that I'm thrilled to see do fifty words worth of work per week. Let's face it, poetry takes thought to make it good, and poetry never reaches novel lenght (or I've never seen it that long). :)
_____Anyhow, you can post how many words you edited, how many words you worte that are new, or just felowship here. The other thread got way off track for a bit, but we got back to counts pretty fast.
_____As for me, I'm in editing mode right now. I've been ripping my book in half, adding, deleteing, and what I work on for the day is my count (I don't include what I deleted as work). My goal is to clean up my first book before Christmas, and get it into some form of print before inlaws and frinds kill me. :eek:

[wgjones3]

Since you started a new thread, I closed the old one to avoid any confusion.

Oh, and I only got a measly 500 words yesterday...

[David Meigs]

Only 88 words so far, but the day is young. DrRita, I know what you mean about writing the first chapter. I slog through them with the understanding that they will be rewritten. Chapter 1 remains in my mind until I write “the end”. Only after the novel is finished do I have a firm idea of what it ought to be.

David

[AngelAzariah]

Jones,
_____Thanks for doing that and posting your count. :)

Curmudgeon,
_____The day is young, I'm just not so sure I can even pull out a 100 words today. I nipped up my finger tips a bit, so typing is a pain. Then again, I'm putting up with it to write this. :D

[whitehawke]

Angel,
the challange is on. :cool:

[wgjones3]

1700 today.

[AngelAzariah]

_____I feel flat on my face today when it came to a word count. I had 300 or so movies to organize into new contaners, take my in laws into town (2 hour drive there and back together), watch my girls this morning, fix credit reports with two companys online!
_____So I've worked! Now I need to get Tanya in here and do an order before they demand shiping and handling because we are late. Oh and Joker needs a flea bath.

[Hisart]

Well, I got 1623 today and that brings Graven up to 5293. :eek:
Must be newbe power or something. :confused:
I don't even know if I'm doing this right.
Oh well, good night. !thumbsup!
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[wgjones3]

I picked up my work again tonight and ended up with a grand total of 5549 words for the day. More importantly--and I'm sure Merry will be glad to hear it--I finished the first draft of the novel I started back in February. 94,384 words worth. A long, winding road finally comes to an end.

Of course, this means a rewrite is in order. But not yet. Not until Tuesday at the soonest.

See y'all then, God willing.

[AngelAzariah]

_____I tried to stay up and work, but I ended up organizing three chapters and editing 28 something words. ;) I'm impressive no?

[whitehawke]

Well,
it's 7:58 am Saturday and I enjoyed a sleep in. (I like to be up by 4am in case you're wondering)
I haven't started editing yet this morning, I'm busy feeding my face. :D
Yesterday I squeezed out 987 words. The day before, 534 and before that 615. These aren't the greastest counts, but I've had a child at home :D and I'm happy that I've managed this much.
Today I have the house to myself and can attack my book to my hearts content. Catch you all later. Muahahaha :cool: :rolleyes:
Rulan

[AngelAzariah]

_____Before you work, you should go read The Grand List of Overused Science Fiction Clichés (http://enphilistor.users4.50megs.com/cliche.htm). I got stuck reading it again, dang it Gump! It's all his falt I'm sure.

[whitehawke]

LOL Angel,
I'm not sure who you were sending to have a look at that, but I had to look, didn't I? I read one thing they said about one story line and found it so funny. I quickly backed out of there before I could get hooked into reading the lot. lol

[whitehawke]

Today isn't over for me yet, but so far I have edited 1,488 words.
Rulan

[Hisart]

Today's total is 2396 words written, bringing Graven to 7689 words total. :eek:
Now would someone help me edit this thing, my grammer is sad! :(
I also reread the submission crit. and it's supposed to be only 5,000! :eek:
Now what? :confused:
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[DrRita]

Yeaterday was a bust! Not a word of writing did I do. But then I'm getting ready for my trip, I'm leaving on Tuesday (July 19) and still have a lot to do. But I will get in some writing this morning so I will have check back later with a word count.

[AngelAzariah]

whitehawke,
_____Well after reading all the red x and pig ones, I moved on with my day. It didn't go so well, more later.

Hisart,
_____I've gotten pretty good and bringing counts down -- I dear say one of the best here. Still, I don't know if you want me ripping your baby apart. :)

DrRita,
_____Sometimes a cup of jo and a lap-top are the best combinations. ;)

To all,
_____Yesterday something set me off. I ended up spending about five/six hours of yard work out of my day. This included, splitting fire wood, and cutting back black berry vines. If you don't know what black berries look like, think taller than me (I'm six foot), inch thick bases at times, and thorns a centameter long.
_____I think I just got rid of the last thorn, but I'm not sure. I've skined open several parts of my body, and I feel like I've nearly broken the bones in my hands. The biggest problem is the thumbnail sized chunk of skin I tore out of my pointer finger.
_____Anyhow, I'm healing but this has cut into my writing. :rolleyes: On the bright side, before all that I did almost 400 words worth of work. Thankfuly, I can type with little pain or so I hope it stays that way.

[DrRita]

Angel,
Do I know about blackberries!! :eek: We had HUGE ones in our yard in Washington. Ouch! It seemed like a never ending chore, keeping them from taking over. Some friends of mine in California would think I was nut for cutting them down. "Blackberries are so good to eat," they would tell me. Clearly they'd never tangled with Oregon/Washington blackberry bushes. You know Angel, the sad thing is that you'll have to get out there and risk life and limb to cut them back again in about a month or so :mad: .

Sorry, I got off track. I will have to put off posting my word count until later . . . got to get to the pest control store before they close . . . I have some "friends" that need evicting..

[AngelAzariah]

_____Evicting friends, what I loving thought. ;) Still, I'm glad someone knows the horror I faced yesterday. :cool:

[whitehawke]

Angel the blackberry warrior,
take care,
the blackberry ripper is out there
lurking in the shadows,
growing by the gate
you better chop him down
before it is too late.
Muahahaha
:D :eek:
What? Why are you looking at me like that? :p :rolleyes:

[whitehawke]

Today's total is 2396 words written, bringing Graven to 7689 words total. :eek:
Now would someone help me edit this thing, my grammer is sad! :(
I also reread the submission crit. and it's supposed to be only 5,000! :eek:
Now what? :confused:
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

Do you have word? If so, you should be able to start editing your grammar with the style and grammar program.
My grammar wasn't to good until I learnt how to use that.
Rulan

[whitehawke]

Angel,
look after yourself. Blackberry vines are vicious. We get them here but they get knocked back before they can grow into montsers.
Hope all your wounds heal quickly and that your word count skyrockets.
I haven't had blackberry pie for a long long time. Drat. Now I'm hungry.

[Hisart]

Start wacking angel-dude! !thumbsup!
I'll just keep my hands outa the way! :D
Typing with a blow-out, not fun! :rolleyes: Hope it doesn't hurt. :)
If you wouldn't mind, no rules say I have to do it, but I'll at least see where the lines for cutting are. :D So chop away Angel-dude! !thumbsup!

Whitehawke, I've got a shareware version so I'll look but I don't know. :confused:
Thanks! :D
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[AngelAzariah]

whitehawke,
_____Cute.

Hisart,
_____Where is the little begger at?

[AngelAzariah]

Hisart,
_____I found it, but I don't want to mess with it in sections. Can you e-mail what you currently have to:
ca¶kelsey@vailio¶n.com
(Remove the “¶” to use the address)

[ellenjames]

Well, Azariah!

It's time that I should at least report: Today I started a story and wrote 367 words! That doesn't include e-mail notes or posting here on cw. Now, what class does that put me in? LOL :D

Ellenjames

[edmmom]

Angel,
I feel for ya! I spent over two days trying to get rid of blackberries that had grown into my front yard from my neighbors' house. Now, I only have the back to do. That is once I heal up from poison oak my dog gave me :D By the way, Dr. Rita, I'm here in Northern California, and I can honestly say that I don't care to see another blackberry vine!!! :D :D (Although, I stll like to eat blackberries :) )
Oops, sorry y'all, I just realized that this was in the writer's lounge. But, I can honestly say that through it all, I've been able to continue on with my book. I did what Azariah said and this week, I've done over 2000 words, even with the itching and being on prednizone for poison oak! Isn't God wonderful!!

[AngelAzariah]

ellenjames,
_____Well, if you would have posted two days ago, you would have kicked my rear by 327 words. That would put you better than my class (I had a class?). ;)

edmmom,
_____Glad you're working. What's your count for today though?

To All,
_____Well I did 828 words worth of editing on my book. Then I did Hisart a favor (yeah right, I'll be lucky if I'm not spammed for this) and cut a 755 part of his story down to a 296 count. That was fun editing I guess you could say. Anyways, that would put me a bit over a thousand I think. :)
_____Maybe everyone should go and cut his work up and start counting it as work too. ;) Then again, Merry has work in there too, and I'm sure a few other people wouldn't mind having their work ripped in half (or 1/3rds in my case). :p

[edmmom]

Angel,
Because we're trying to fix up our house to sell to move back east, I told myself I'd only write Mon-Fri. However, I couldn't resist, so today I did do 85 words this morning before going to a bridal shower, and, once I leave here, I'm going back to write some more! See how God's used you to ignite the fire in me and a bunch of others !thumbsup! Thanks :)

[Hisart]

Well, I went at it by myself. :eek:
Gotta learn some how! :rolleyes:
Started out with 7,710 words and now I got 6,403 words! :D
I cut 1,307 words out! :eek:
Now I gotta see how I compare to the others. :o
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[AngelAzariah]

edmmom,
_____Glad you're keeping busy, just don't fogert to take a brake from time to time. Today may be my dad, I don't exspect to get too much quite time anyways. :p

Hisart,
_____Glad you're cutting, you need to do some adding to by the looks of it. I will exsplain more in another section.

[AngelAzariah]

_____I did write something this morning. I lectured in the Fiction Workshop, ha-ha. Who fell victom to me? It was Curmudgeon, Merry, and Hisart. I need to get at a few more people so they can form a true mob with pitch forks! :eek: Forgot, I got at whitehawke too, but that wasn't today.
_____Should I count that wreck in my word count? I don't know. Now that I think about it, everyone has Whitehawke to blame for me coming out of the bat cave. *Snigger-snigger*

[whitehawke]

Angel,
help....?! lol
Have I created a monster? :eek:
I better run and hide before the mob comes after me. :eek: I'll run away to the crows nest and not come back till next year. :p
Oh, and Angel, it's your move.

[ellenjames]

Angel!
Well, counting our words written for a day is a challenge, especially if we have to deduct words on a rewrite (like Hisart had to do)! Why can't we just count the number of words we originally wrote before we edited it? Wouldn't that be fair! LOL :D
Ellenjames

[AngelAzariah]

_____I'm not really concerened on how you do your count, but more on you getting work done. :D That's the point here, not to get the biggist or easyest count.

[ellenjames]

My word count for this slow, blah day? Maybe 50 words. :mad:

But I'll do better! Surely! :rolleyes:

Ellenjames

[Hisart]

I hacked on it for a couple of hours and the count is now below 5,000. Thanks to AngelA and Merry I'm at the mark! !thumbsup!
I went thru the whole thing doing the grammer stuff and twist and I'm still :eek: under 5,000.
Total for today 0. :confused:

God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[LLFriday]

I'm new here and really don't know the ropes.
However, I am totally excited to find this place. I am a struggling writer who needs encouragement! ;)

[AngelAzariah]

G E T
T O
W O R K !
_____I mean that in all endering love and
joy to see you here. Now pretty please,
with rum balls on top, get to work. :D
_____Note: Sarcastic? Me? Zee.

[Hisart]

Finale (?) posted for Graven. !thumbsup!
4943 words. :p
200 in cover letter and headers. :confused: Does this count? If not. :p

God Bless!
Love you All! :D
Hisart :cool:

[whitehawke]

Well,
I'm having a bad day. :( I don't feel so good today. And I can't reply to some of my other threads. My word count today is nothing. :mad:

[AngelAzariah]

Patrick Moore, plays the xylophon.
Patrick Moore, plays the xylophon.
Patrick Moore, plays the xylophon.
Patrick Moore, plays the xylophon.

[whitehawke]

Angel,
I don't know? Dee da do da dee da dee da dee da do
Anyway, I thought you went to bed? I sent you another game.

[AngelAzariah]

_____Tanya is off today so I may be out and about. I did take my move though. :)

[whitehawke]

_____Tanya is off today so I may be out and about. I did take my move though. :)
Yeah, I see that. I just missed you and it's your move again.

[Hisart]

Zero.
:o
Nix.
Nein.
Goose egg.
:o
:eek:
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[AngelAzariah]

_____I need to re-install word today so I can get back into my counts for the day. Beware mortals. ;)

[whitehawke]

Angel
Mortals?! :eek: Who are you calling mortals? Muahahahaha
Oh, Angel, how are your hands? Are they healing up okay?
Mortals indeed, whoever heard such a thing? :rolleyes:
We are priests of the Kingdom. :p

[Hisart]

Wasn't that a TV show? :confused:
Zero for me today. :o
Inlaws.
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[AngelAzariah]

_____I highlighted much of my naritive in gray, so I can turn it to yellow, and tell how bad my writing was. In the end, I did sixteen words worth of editing. :D I did better than you Hisart! Ha-ha! How hard is it to beat sixteen?
_____No excuses here, I moad the lawn without brakfist, moved three stacks of fire wood, halped someone move out of their house, watched my little girls, and many other little things. I just pulled a twelve hour day!
_____Ok really, I'm just saying I'm suprised I did anything at all for my count. :D Sorry about the inlaws. Oh and Whitehawke ":p". It's all in love. :D

[wgjones3]

2280 words.

I started a new book today.

[AngelAzariah]

_____A new one ey. I was going to edit an four year old ninja story I wrote; it was horribal to look at. I kid you not, the first paragraph was six sentences, and only the first one was kept. ;) Bad hu. Anyhow, I would have put that in my count, but it's not real work if you ask me. I didn't even save it.

[AngelAzariah]

_____Over a thousand thus far today. ;) I'm keeping busy playing chess at the momment. Been a while sence I mucked with my brother.

[AngelAzariah]

_____1793 Was today’s count.
_____6,800 Is required to be done by the seventeenth of each month.
_____9,200 Is required by the twenty-second of each month.
_____9,380 Total.
_____Considering I started on the sixth of this month (essentially I should be on the seventeenth day of work), I'm way beyond schedule. I wasn't sure if I could keep up with the 400 words a day schedule.
_____It seems it’s been a real benefit for me to have one. I can now tell people I have a schedule to live by. I’m sure I’ll have on anyways when I’m published. :D

[wgjones3]

1989 words today.

[AngelAzariah]

_____Oh sure, had to beat me by a measly 200 words. Oh well. ;)

[AngelAzariah]

_____Compleated chapter twenty today, and posted it to the site. I get to go to a party tonight, with pie I think. :D Anyhoot, I did 1260 words worth of work today. Three times what I needed to. ;) I'm just tickled I'm editing parts of the book I haven't seen in a year. I ended up adding 400 or something words to the chapters size, even after cutting a lot of old stuff out. Chop-chop as Hisart would say.
_____I wish it would rain,
_____C.A.Kelsey

_____Why am I signing a post again? :confused: :rolleyes: !thumbsup!

[whitehawke]

Yee ha for you guys. !thumbsup!
You're all doing so well.
But wait yee all fa my return
the hawke is regaining her strength after this bug and I'll needs me an editing storm.
Muahahahaha

[wgjones3]

3130 Words written today.

[whitehawke]

Whao,
way to go Mr Jones. !thumbsup!
I'm gonna have to try for that kind of count. :D
Rulan

[AngelAzariah]

_____I worked on character bios, plants, and creature lists for my site today. More than 500 words worth of work, but not really important I guess. I wonder if I should have even placed it on the site. :confused:

[whitehawke]

Angel,
you could let it sit there for a while and if you don't like having it on the site, you can always take it down later.

[AngelAzariah]

_____I just wonder if it's tacky or not. It's just hard for me to tell. I dobt anyone will really see it anyways. :p

[whitehawke]

Angel,
if it's tacky, it should stick well. :p :D Muahahahaha
I'm in a silly kind of mood so my humor is a bit strange. lol

[AngelAzariah]

_____I just sat down and added 887 words to my count for today. It was more real work sence it was editing.

[wgjones3]

Counting what I wrote and deleted and rewrote... I did 1700 today.

[DrRita]

Wow,you guys are all doing great! I haven't written a word since I've been on the road but I've been doing a lot of thinking and ruminating. I've written a few ideas but mostly I've just let my subconscience work unhindered :eek: I hope to get in a bit this morning as I don't have to rush off. Hopefully I'll get back with some sort of count today.

[Hisart]

I saw it and liked it Angel-Dude. !thumbsup!
I liked the Silmarillion also. All the nitty behind the gritty. :D
I'd leave it and add to it as you go. You may know Who's who, but I don't. :confused:
By the way can I get a really good discription of Azariah? :D
Oh, and what is the names at the head of each discritption? Just a page index? :confused:
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[AngelAzariah]

Mr. Jones,
_____Keeping busy I see. What was the count of the finished product if I might ask. :D

DrRita,
_____Nothing like taking the day in strides. I pulled 735 out of my hat this morning, but I'm hopeing to do more. It's funny for me, every time I get passed burning one town down, I feel like I could edit all day. I guess it's at that portion of the book that I have a good set of characters to work with. Easyer to come up with things for them to do I guess. :D

Hisart,
_____You can click the names and they will take you to the character's bio.

Name: Azariah (Airi Veenin Azariah).
Adornment(s): Unknown.
Age: Approximately 20,000.
Born: 254,192 on the first of Eendrom.
Ears: Cat-like with white fur.
Eyes: Icy green.
Preferred Color(s): Clamed to be purple; varies from sources.
Fur: None.
Hair: White, light curled, past knees.
Height: Approximately six feet.
Note(s): Enjoys rain, snow, windy days, hates the sun. His name translated means Nineteen Bloodchild Virtues Person (all contradictions in many views).
Preferred Nahtsah: Unknown.
Quote: “Heroes are imaginative beings placed on pedestals. I’ve done too many evil things to be placed on one.”
Race: Neenteko.
Relative(s): Unknown.
Skin Tone: Pale.
Tail: White furred, long.
Tattoo(s): None.
Weapon(s): Necklace of zeruhmfer, holding a blood red gem.

_____Zeruhmfer is a white metal. -->He pulled a necklace holding a slender, inch long gem from under his shirt. Its blood red, almost black color contained veins of lighter hues. The gem burned from within, but it gave no light and he fidgeted with it.<-- Right from the first chapter. At this point his cloths are pretty much just black rags.
_____-->“Well Ellomar,” Briana said. “What do you think?”
_____Ellomar giggle and Azariah crossed his arms. Briana untied a ribbon from Azariah’s hair.
_____“Maybe yellow is the wrong color for him.”
_____Ellomar giggle turned into a laugh.
_____“The yellow is fine. It's the ruffles around his neck that I think are funny.”
_____Azariah growled and went behind the dressing curtain.
_____“I think,” Sapphire said from Ellomar’s shoulder. “The ruffles would do him a great and deserve justice. I can just imagine him now, prancing through the woods with glee.”
_____“Ho-ho,” Azariah said. “Ha-ha, it is to laugh.”
_____Azariah ripped the ruffled chocker from his neck and tossed it on the curtain’s bar.<--
_____After the whole sceen Azariah ends up in this. -->Inside Briana saw a new Azariah. He wore a dark faded green shirt, with lavender seams. The cuffs around his wrists had one emeem in white, embroidered on each. Tan pants hung from under his half buttoned shirt.<--
_____Now tridition for Neenteko is to where a rope for a belt. Azariah picked out a white one at this point in chapter nine. Also an emeem looks like the following: The wolf-like body had a long tail, white paws and gray fur. The emeem’s blue eyes matched its four blue wings.
_____My attemt to illistrate an emeemterahn is on the front of my site. Anyhow, I guess that's a good enough covering of his character discription. Ellomar would be a better character to cover if you ask me, he's just cuter.

Note: All of this is under copyright with the library of congress, and as such registured under my name. :)

[wgjones3]

Mr. Jones,
_____Keeping busy I see. What was the count of the finished product if I might ask. :D

It was like 1530... there were at least three paragraphs I wrote, deleted, and rewrote--consider those 170 words or so my editing tally.

[AngelAzariah]

_____I see, or read, or something. ;) I still think your site should be getting more hits than mine. I just don't understand the net I guess. !thumbsup!

[Hisart]

Got it, if you want to take it down. !thumbsup!
May I have permission to draw, or attempt to draw, Azariah?
Ya or Nay. :confused:
I'll assume Ya. :D
So he has no fur or is he covered in fur like a cat? You specified white hair on ears is why I asked or is the fur only on his ears? Or is it like a beard and just comes up the face? If not what color is he, pale white or pink/ caucasian?
Long, slightly curled, hair to knees - hanging down or over the back?
You said they have cat-like features other than face ears and tail is that it?
Do they walk on their toes or flat footed?
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[AngelAzariah]

_____Deepends on who you are talking about. Briig for example is discribed like this: Briig stood eight feet tall, had the face of a lion, paw-like hands, large claws, his ankles and feet were cat-like.
_____Azariah on the other hand only has fur on his ears and tail. He also grows a beard at times. Later on his head's hair is held back by a black cloth.

[wgjones3]

2120 for today.

[AngelAzariah]

_____I whipped out 812 yesterday, and have yet to get to work for today. I'm thinking I should start a promot your work thread for you Jones. It's obviuse you have no problems with writing. ;)

[wgjones3]

Well, the problem I have is it's one thing to write a first draft, but my first drafts are so bad that I have to spend a lot of time rewriting them and fixing all the blah spots in future rewrites... I'm not sure if what I'm writing now is even good enough to worry about a rewrite. :(

[AngelAzariah]

Lets have the first 200 words worth to read. That's normaly where I am the most critical on writers. ;)

[wgjones3]

Here's the first 260 words of chapter one... I'm not sure whether I'll keep the prlogue yet or not.



I shouldn't have posted this here. It belongs in the workshops. I just wasn't thinking.

Sorry.

[AngelAzariah]

_____I see potential here, but a need for the re-write.

[wgjones3]

I'm guessing it'll take 2 rewrites and a a lot more editing.

[AngelAzariah]

_____You could just do one great re-write. To tell the truth, I'm itching to edit what you posted up. Maybe I should take Dian's advice and edit for a living, it's all just openions anyways.

[AngelAzariah]

_____Got 809 words done yesterday I think.

[AngelAzariah]

_____A little over 400 for today.

[whitehawke]

Grumble, grumble :(
I've done something around 1000 for the last 4 days if I'm lucky.

You 'dah man, Angel!

[Hisart]

Oops, um, no...I..I forgot to. :eek: :o Um, I must do that, cause it's a brilliant idea. Thanks for reminding me. :D

And Angel, way ta go man. !thumbsup!

[AngelAzariah]

_____Just for a little extra encoragment I wrote a new chapter to my book tonight. Need to change what I did for counts today. :)

_____All in love,
_____C.A.Kelsey.

[Hisart]

I did 435 words last night. !thumbsup!
Started another piece, the bug bit me again. :D
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[whitehawke]

Angel dude,
you're going strong.

Mr. Jones,
wish I could catch up with you.

Hisart
Isn't it great when you get bit by that bug?!

[Hisart]

Oh ya! !thumbsup!
I was kinda stalled after the last piece, but I got bit and I'm off again!!
At About the same today, I'll check and update this.
871 ! :D
God bless!
Hisart :cool:

[AngelAzariah]

_____Wrote a 1,380 word document to help people around here, but it's not displaying for firefox users! Also did 408 words of editing to my book. I may not do any work tomorow if I spend all of it trying to fix lousy firefox. :mad: Yeah, I'm ticked with the lazy good for nothings.
_____Simply put, firefox thinks all web designers should comform to their sistom and their sistom dosn't need to work with all programs. Well I'm sorry but every freeking internet viewer works with just about every program! Bloody idiots.

[whitehawke]

Well dear friends,
my editing count for today is... 3,399 words.
Oh, and my count yesterday was 503.
If I added the two, it brings the total to 3,902 in the last two days.
And in a few minutes, I'll be crashing into bed. night night
Rulan

[wgjones3]

My editing count yesterday was approximately 30,000 words.

[whitehawke]

LOL Mr Jones,
well done.
How on earth do you manage to do that? wow
Give me some of that persistance and skill. :D

[AngelAzariah]

_____No editing as of yet today, but I have fixed up my site to work with Firefox. Unfortunitly, I've had to delete all the .gif animations and my picture book from the site among other things. Seems Firefox damands me to have everything in the main file and I can't keep up with over 150 different files. The .gifs are all named by 01, 02, 03, 04, codes so it's just too much of a mess.

[whitehawke]

Well Angel,
at least now I can go back and read your work as the time allows. :)
Now I'm going to have some breakfast and get back to editing.
I maybe a bit quite today. Struck dumb perhaps by the shear volume of work that Mr Jones puts out. :D

[AngelAzariah]

_____I could take a few guesses at how he does it, but I'm not going to acuse him of anything. ;)

[whitehawke]

LOL,
Angel, you made me chuckle. :D

[AngelAzariah]

_____You should check out my Oprah thread then, I'm still feeling queezy.

[Chiara]

What a nifty idea for a thread; I thought I'd made an amazing amount of progress today (335 words) but when looking at everyone else's, I feel rather pathetic. Heh...

[AngelAzariah]

_____I didn't get anything done yesterday, so you should feel great. In fact, you should be happy that you did work. :) A good deal of writers don't get to work for months at a time.

[wgjones3]

15,000 for yesterday.

[AngelAzariah]

_____Nothing but free time ey? :D Just teasing you Jones. I'm working a little today, but I forgot to move my free dictionary to my lap-top -- figured I'd come by and check out CW again.

[whitehawke]

No more words for me yet. Yesterday was Sunday, so not much got done. :D
It's Monday today. The sun is fighting to climb above the clouds.
I'm in a jolly good mood. :D :D :D :D :D :D

[AngelAzariah]

_____I'm at 1,200 something I think thus far. May get more done tonight.

[AngelAzariah]

_____I had some free time and jumped over 2,000. I want to go to bed, but I want to stay up and watch the commit impact story on Discovery. Wish a new Myth Busters would come tonight too. --Sigh.

[Chiara]

A whopping 217! !thumbsup!

[wgjones3]

15,000 today

[whitehawke]

Angel,
Man you jump high. :D Is that 2000 feet, yards, inches or miles. lol :D :D :D :D :D :p
WOW ;)

[Hisart]

Saturday I did 300 words.
Sunday I worshipped. Then did 322 that night. :D
Monday has just started.
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[whitehawke]

WOW
Monday is drawing to an end here. It's 8:15 at night and it's August 1st. :D

[Hisart]

4:30am Monday August 1st.
Ohio, USA. :cool:
Puts us at about 16hrs difference. :eek:
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[whitehawke]

So, that means you either haven't gone to bed yet or you wake about the same time that I do. lol You have a good day. I'm going to hit the hay very soon.

[Hisart]

This week I'm waking, last week I was going to bed. :confused:
My sleep is odd at best. I rarely sleep beyond 6hrs and usually it's about 4hrs.
With a wife and six kids it's also my quiet time. :D
God Bless!
Good night!
Hisart :cool:

[ellenjames]

:confused: It's 8:35 am Monday here!

And I'm hung up with laundry (It must be done occasionally). But I actually wrote a few words for my journal!

Congratulations, WG! He must get large amounts of writing done every day because he doesn't write much here! His comments here are short and succinct!

Maybe I should spend less time responding to chat rooms and write more! :confused:
Ellenjames

[AngelAzariah]

_____500 I think thus far today. Maybe I will get more done tonight. The next two days Tanya is off, so I may not get anything done then. Nice to see so many people busy though. !thumbsup!

[ellenjames]

Well, it's time to report my word count.

I did 2869 words. :D Whoa! This is not for the day; it's for the month! Actually, I did more than than with journaling and e-mail messages.

That's not the greatest record, but it is an effort. (It might take a long time to write a book if I only wrote 2,000 words per month! LOL)

There it is!

Ellenjames

[Hisart]

Even with the rejection slip I did 1112 words!
Keep on keep'n on!
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[ArizonaWriterBJ]

Which is what I try to shoot for each day.

[AngelAzariah]

_____Welp, now I have a more acurit list of my work. It's always easyer to remmember when you just post it on your site. :D
Total Work: 20,372 since July sixth.

_____My big problem is that I can't simply place my work into the workshop. I finaly came up with what I need though and I can't seem to do it on my own. Need to know if there is any missing punctuwation. Then I need to know if anyone gets confused when reading. Last, I need to be checked for wrong word usage and misspelling.
_____I think those are all things everyone here is much better at than me. Problem is, who wants to read a 80,000 word book on a web-site? I may have to get a few books printed off and send them to people who offer to help me out. Who knows, that's all at least a month from now if not two or three. :D
_____Fight the good fight and all that rot.

[whitehawke]

wow,
that's a lot. Think I'll go hide. I ain't be done no words taday.

[AngelAzariah]

_____Works, work. I think I posted that I only did 18 words one day.

[Hisart]

I posted I did zero this week. :o
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[AngelAzariah]

_____And a brave soul you are. :D

[AngelAzariah]

_____And a brave soul you are. :D

[AngelAzariah]

_____I got a close to 300 words done today. Nothing for the past two days. I got stung by a bee under my toe, so I'm a little hacked off at the momment. Still hurts, and after half a day going by. Anyhoot, I'm listoning to music and trying to keep mello in this heat.

[Chiara]

A record 402! And in just an hour and a half! :)

[AngelAzariah]

_____Nice, work, there!

[whitehawke]

A record 402! And in just an hour and a half! :)
Nice one. !thumbsup! Keep up the good work.

[whitehawke]

I did a light skim of 4000 or 5000 words yesterday. Was killing the cry-baby look that had somehow been piled on top of my main character. Now my book and mc are starting to look stronger and I am well pleased.
Have a great day all.

[AngelAzariah]

_____Sounds good and well.

[AngelAzariah]

_____For the past few days I've done nothing. I've been to busy tending to my bee stung foot, helping organize a shed, and trying to sleep. ;)

[whitehawke]

Angel and everyone,
may you all have a good day. I am just about to start editing for the day. My child went back to school.
Yee ha!
It's Monday here so don't be rolling your eyes at me. lol :D
Muahahaha

[whitehawke]

Ah well,
I be back me laddies and lassies, arh. :D
I edited 3,191 words Taday. Not a bad start for the week on this fine Monday.

[ArizonaWriterBJ]

But I fell behind on Friday and Saturday so today was make up day. I'm at the stage where I just need to make myself do it - I'm producing some, shall we say kindly, garbage, at the moment, but I need to work through the garbage to get to the good stuff. 8-) No matter how long it takes.

Happy writing everyone.

Brenda 8-)

[AngelAzariah]

_____Glad to see others up and running. I'm still helping out with cleaning a shed, and other retarted things, so I'm stressed and not working. Good thing I'm still way ahead of my set scedual.

[whitehawke]

Hee hee hee,
1,803 words before breakfast and the day has only just begun.
Muahahahaha :D

[whitehawke]

Wha whooo!
2,000 words before breakfast.
It's 7:45 am Wednesday morning and the sun's not long been up. I'm in a high mood. Life is grand.
I needs me some breakfast now. I think I've earnt it. :D
:cool: Muahahahaha :cool:
:D Hee hee hee :D

[Hisart]

Well after a really odd weekend and ending to last week I'm not doing great.
My Dad had his other knee replaced and I've been setting with him till Mom gets home from work.
I have managed to get some web work done and a little drawing and carving but the writing has suffered. I've got next to nothing done all around.
Words this week 203. wow. :o
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[whitehawke]

Hisart,
what you are doing is far more important than any word count.
May the Lord bless you and your family and may your dad recover quickly.
Rulan

[AngelAzariah]

_____Things just keep getting better for me. Natasha tore my glasses in half yesterday, and I had to get back into my contacts. It makes it difficult to work at all. I'm trying to just get used to it, and I did about 200 words worth of work this morning. I'm planing on getting 1,200 more done tonight I hope.

[whitehawke]

Angel,
our paths havent crossed much lately. Sounds like we've all been busy with other things. Hope you get your glasses fixed soon, or
even better
that you're eyes be healed so that you know longer need glasses at all.
Wouldn't that be grand? :cool:
You have a good day.
Rulan

[AngelAzariah]

_____I'd take that healing in a heart beat. On a side note: I compleated a little more than 600 words last night. Not what I wanted, but it's a good start.

[whitehawke]

Yesterday I did 1,743 words brfore breakfast.
Last night I stayed up late. Silly me.
This morning I slept in. I am so sleepy. It's 1:12 in the afternoon and I wish my eyes weren't so heavy.
Today I have edited 1,404 words and I'm trying to keep my head off the keyboard.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[AngelAzariah]

_____I did a little over 1,500 I think. I'm feeling a little silly right now and I just don't know. All I know is that I'm back on scedual at least. Like normal I'll post exact numbers when I get them together. :)

[ellenjames]

You, WG, and Whitehawke
have me outclassed. I was wondering will you have to add more
memory to you computer to handle all those words? LOL :D
Good job!
Ellenjames

[AngelAzariah]

_____Funny you should mention that. My old computer was a 600megahurts. :D That thing could bearly handle loading my first story. What I have together now would probably make it go boom. ;)

[AngelAzariah]

_____1,200 something words for today. I'm a little flustered though, on acount of having to cut over a 1,000 words from my work. It was all related to a character I'm taking out. I'm kind of hurt, but it has to be done.

[whitehawke]

Well,
it is 11:12 here this morning and I havent even started yet. :)
I am going to go and fill my stumach. Catch you later when I've got some work done.

[AngelAzariah]

_____Well I might go fishing here in a bit. I've started to try out the sport. Hate the fish, love the quite I say.

[whitehawke]

Angel,
you hate the fish? :eek:
Whoa man, send me the fish. Yum yum. Oh, and the quite sounds wonderful.
Say, what kind of fish do you get over there?

[ellenjames]

Hey, Friends,

Maybe we need a "food thread" for this! I like fish; and did you know that fish helps relieve headaches??

Ellenjames

[AngelAzariah]

_____We get bass, trout, blue gill, catfish, and my headake only got worss out there. I ended up half asleep in the car. No one cought a single thing. Oh well. :o

[AngelAzariah]

_____651 for my count today.

[whitehawke]

Go Angel,
yesterday I did zilch. mmmm I think that's how it's spelt.
Oh well, meaning nothing, not a word, not a jot or title. :eek:
Ah, but today, before breakfast, I done didily did 1,375 words of edit. It is now only 6:53 Tuesday morning and the day is ahead of me. I'll get my daughter off to school and rip back into it. Muahahahaha
You all have a great day.

_____And I'm still ahead of scedual by four or five days. Lost more than 1,500 words worth of my orginal story by editing out a character. However, things seem to be flowing better if you ask me. I was even able to save some conversations by passing diologue to other characters. I also added a lot more because of the new story line to go with it.

[whitehawke]

Sounds cool, Angel.
Hope you saved the character you deleted onto a CD or something. I do when I kill something. Never know when it may come in handy for something else.
How have you been? I have been so busy these last 2 or 3 weeks. Hopefully things will settle back into a more normal routine soon so I can relax.

[AngelAzariah]

_____Things really went to pot here for a time. Some domb things where said, and well, I don't want to talk about it. ;)
_____As for saving my work, I have the very orginal story that I wrote somewhere on CD. I should dig that up and show the pain that was my book once. :P

[whitehawke]

Well Angel,
hope your day goes well.
I have done 2,660 words of edit before breakfast. It's now 7:16 am Wednesday and I'm hungry. Look out food, here comes Hawke.... Muahahahaha

[Hisart]

Well I don't know how this counts but I just finished re-writing my web-site.
Did the whole thing in html, 150 pages, :eek: now 80pages were pictures that had to be fitted....but no type. :confused:
God Bless!
Hisart :cool:

[whitehawke]

Well,
I managed to keep going today and since breakfast, I have edited another 1,288 words. Add that to this mornings count that I posted earlier of 2,660 and that makes todays total... 3,948. :D If I had time, I'd round it out to 4 but I have to quit for the day.

Hisart, good to see you going strong. Keep it up.
Catch you later. :D

[AngelAzariah]

Hisart,
_____Love that roadrunner picture. Very nifty. :) I want that dragon skull, just as soon as I'm a rich writer. Can I buy those eyebrows off you too? I could give some looks to some people. Like spock man! :D Did you do that Wired World art too?

whitehawke,
_____Working, good. I've kept from working, on acount of spending time with Tanya on her days off.

[whitehawke]

Angel,
that is a very good way to spend your time. !thumbsup! :cool:
Oh and, he he, I havent done any words yet this morning. :D

[Hisart]

Hisart,
_____Love that roadrunner picture. Very nifty. :) I want that dragon skull, just as soon as I'm a rich writer. Can I buy those eyebrows off you too? I could give some looks to some people. Like spock man! :D Did you do that Weird World art too?

[AngelAzariah]

_____Today was a fair day if their ever was one. Keeping with my scedual (still ahead) but I did over 400 words this day. Tomrow I may get more done. I ran into a small snag that brought my work time down for today. Let's just say I thought to much about some things. ;)

[AngelAzariah]

_____Right now I'm ticked, big difference from yesterday. Odd that I compleated around 1,300 words of work. Good work day, bad day for cash. Dang I need a drink.

[AngelAzariah]

_____Two moons ago I compleated over 80 words of work.

[whitehawke]

Angel
Two moons?
I always thought that two moons meant two months? Am I wrong?
mmmmmmm Perhaps I've got it wrong. :confused:
Anyway, if two moons is two months, I'm sure you've done more than 80 words in that amount of time. If it's not two months well, hey man, we all have times where things don't go to plan. That's life. If those times didn't happen, then we might not appreseate the good times.
May the Lord bless you.

[DrRita]

I've managed to get a few words written in the past couple of days inbetween things. Saturday I wrote 575 and though that seems very small, it's a good start. Today, I wrote 723 and hope to get in more later though that may not happen with all the company I have here at my house now. I was discussing the writing process with WG a few days ago and realized I just need to write the thing. I'll edit it later, rewrite what need to be rewritten and just get the story out of my head for now. I know that sounds elementary but for this picky perfectionist, it's a major breakthrough. !thumbsup!

[ArizonaWriterBJ]

Woohoo! 1269 words today!

I have to make 'deals' with myself to keep myself motivated on this long project - so my deal is, if I write an additional 5,000 words between today and Thursday, I get to take the rest of August "off" this project to work on something else I've been hankerin' to do.

1 day down, 3 to go! 8-)

Brenda 8-)

[AngelAzariah]

whitehawke,
_____I think you're right, but it's rare that I even see the moon, so two days in a row is a big thing for me.

DrRita,
_____Very happy for you. For the count and the brake through. Maybe Jones should inform the rest of the foarm how to write. :D

ArizonaWriterBJ,
_____I used to do deals, but they didn't work out for me. My scedual is much more affective for me. ;) Each to his/her/both own though.

[AngelAzariah]

_____400 something words for today. I'm a little down, so who knows what will happen next.

[ArizonaWriterBJ]

RE: Deals - well I'll know by Thursday night whether this deal worked for me or not - so far so good - 1250 words today.

Brenda 8-)

[AngelAzariah]

_____Well I didn't do anything yesterday, but seeing someone else compleat something put a smile to my face. Tanya is normaly off on Tusday and Windsday, so I take it easy on those days a lot. :cool:

[ArizonaWriterBJ]

2,384 words today - and finished my week's (and month's) writing goals. Now I get that mini-break I promised myself so I can work on some other stuff too!

WOOHOO!!!!!

[DrRita]

Good for you Arizona . . . !thumbsup! !thumbsup! I've been almost hitting my goal of 1100 words a day, but I still haven't made it. I wrote about 800 yesterday on two different projects, most of which I will definately have to rewrite but that's part of the game, right? I will try to make up today.
