So what's up with the sword of justice
🕑 Added 2023-04-02 22:10:22 +0000 UTCOr, why aren't you working on noobtown?
Writer's block mainly. I have a beginning (done), a middle (done, and an end (working on it) but the connective tissues between the middle and the end were annoying the crap out of me so I slowed down to a crawl trying to get them in and up to standard.
So I stopped. I'm taking 2 weeks off of noobtown and working on another project which brings me to the 10k a day challenge.
Basically, a writers group I was in said that by significantly upping volume, you can increase your overall weekly word count so you should strive for a goal like 10k a day to get your production up.
Since I need to write Sword of Justice anyway, I figured I'd use that as the test project. It needs to be 120k words, it is currenly 40k words. I'm going to finish it in the next 2 weeks or die trying.
It is supposed to reinvigorate my desire to write and keep me at a higher word count in the future. No so sure about that, but it is blowing the rust off of several mental processes and I'm discovering that I can still write like I did when I wrote Mayor.
Mayor took me about 2 weeks to finish. That's it. I've never been able to write that fast since, until now. Hopefully I can keep up this pace, so far so good.
So expect the first draft of this to be done in 8 more writing days (M-S) Sunday is your rest day.

Sword has the same feel as Noobtown and Toasty. I had a hard time with Crabby and with bad roll I could not get Caverns and Creatures out of my head

Our gain! Thank you and keep writing it. You're blowing the doors off with this one and not just the rust. :) It's got your trademark voice/humor and love of the game. With a good adventure storyline and great characters. Love the sword
