[Lizards of Renown]

Inspired.

 

[Imrahil]

Wordcount-wise I am allowed to enter my story, but story-wise it needs some more words.

Grrr, Imarhil

So, do you need to trim some words to make room for the ending?

 

[Scalenex]

I have a very busy weekend and a free day with no work or social obligations on Monday.

The new contest deadline is Monday noon, August 2nd.

 

[Killer Angel]

Horray!

I meaned that I have 500+ words, but not yet a complete story.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

[Killer Angel]

The real problem here is how much words do you still need...

Okay meneer! You've got three days! Let's do it!

(I've stopped posting on flickers about the contest as, unless people are already mid writing, no-ones going to write a story in three days)

If you already have an idea, it's doable.

 

[Scalenex]

I've done a story in one and half days before.

This time I'm setting my sights to doing a poem in one and a half hours.

True, but not for the type of people that I'm promoting to who haven't even been interested in the contest.

This I don't doubt, given your prolific outpouring on Scarterra/Scaraqua.

This time I'm setting my sights to doing a poem in one and a half hours.

[LoR raises eyebrow and makes mental note to check after the competition finishes as to which poem is Scalenexes...]

 

[Paradoxical Pacifism]

I remember completing a few stories in about 3-4 hours. I think loosening the definition and criteria on what counts as a story can help quite a lot. For the past month or so, I wrote 8 short stories for my thread, and I'm currently writing another one (it's about fleshing out Nakai as a character before the great catastrophe happened). Anyway, most of them aren't that fancy or complex, but I think writing them was really good practice imo.

 

[Y'ttar Scaletail]

Normally I would have managed it in the single day yesterday, but ran into some writer's block.
Hopefully should finish by end of today.
