Connor, don't tell us that you're starting. Come back later today and tell us "I wrote ___ pages today!" if you want us to take it seriously. Then do that constantly throughout the month to prove that you're making progress and sticking to something.
 
Okay, fellas,

I'm aiming for a daily quota of ten pages, which is roughly 2500 words, depending on the number of words per page, usually around 250. So far, I have 614 words in the manuscript, with 1886 words to go. I can do this.

You do understand that books are literary works and art, not your highschool essays, right? Just meeting a word limit doesn't make it good, and no amount of words make up for a lack of talent. Sometimes the most potent writings are very short.

"The last man on Earth heard a knock at the door."

That won a competition for short horror stories. It doesn't use many words but it does convey intense meaning and feeling to the reader. Poems are sort of challenging because they require every word and punctuation choice to be meticulously chosen, since the goal of a poem is to convey a meaning or feeling as succinctly as possibly. There's a really, really famous saying by William Shakespeare that goes along the lines of, "brevity is the soul of wit". Being wordy doesn't always equate to being smart.

You seem to have no understanding of what writing is or why people do it. It just seems like you think you can be some hack author and live off that instead of having to get a real job or an education. You see novels a sustainable, long-term income instead of the product of wanting to tell a story.

These are your flaws, Connor. You are short-sighted and naive.

I'll say it again, I'm participating in Camp NaNoWriMo. Quantity, not quality, is the name of the game. It's only a first draft, man. It's going to suck.

A little bit of both. I have a very strong idea of what I want to accomplish, but there are times where I have to use the Indiana Jones technique to achieve my story goals.

you know what would be awesome? After you finish a draft of Alphaboy you should collaborate with someone who is artsy to adapt it into comic form. I think that'd be pretty sick.

It's kind of surreal to see Dear Leader dropping some deep truths when you typically stick to glib remarks, heh.

Everybody has the right to be grossed out by Nick Bate. Half the posts in that thread consist of "ewwww gross" anyway.

As for the ADF thread, well, no matter who's doing it, it's still stupid, and it's not really wrong to point that out. Hell, perhaps seeing how stupid Ahuviya looks when he threatens suicide will teach Connor not to do it ever again.

All I'm saying is that not everything Connor does is stupid and mockable, and we shouldn't hound him everywhere he goes. The posts he made in the other threads are pretty average lolcow discussion posts, and are only really getting attention because Connor made them. If they were written by any other person, no one would bat an eye.

We should mock Connor when he does mockable things, not merely for existing.

Yeah we all have our faults. If only perfect people could laugh at cows, the pastures would be silent.
