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.

Yep. "I'm starting..." "I'm planning..." are lines we've heard from Connor many, many times before.

"I've finished..." will be a first.

do you even know what's going to happen or are you still doing that flow of consciousness bullshit

I don't know if that's entirely the best advice to be giving, to be honest. I did National Novel Writing Month for three years, and in all cases they were stories I wanted to tell, but the actual production of the novel came through religiously spitting out 1667 words every day. It's true that my writings aren't published, because since that happened I realized that I don't actually fancy writing as much as I thought. But given that Connor struggles with writer's block, spitting out words is a good way to make something happen. Revisions come later.

Unless you're saying that you believe Connor is not going to revise his work any (probably true), and just throw the draft at us and say "LOOK IT'S MY MAGNUM OPUS", in which case I agree wholeheartedly with everything you're saying. But I don't think it's entirely fair to say that National Novel Writing Month (or Camp NaNoWriMo) is not the proper approach to take to writing.

Writer's block flow-of-consciousness is different than just writing a book like you would a forum post. Flow of consciousness is for writing flesh when you aren't compelled to make any. If you do your entire book like that it's gunna suck.

Maybe, but writing a sucky book is better than writing no book at all. Connor has problems finishing what he started. Actually getting a story down in full would be a big step forward. No, it wouldn't be publishable or even that fun to read, but it's a process, and Connor is right at the beginning of it. You're making the perfect the enemy of the good - well, I guess you're more making the good the enemy of the barely acceptable, but my point stands.

Again, NaNoWriMo is explicitly about volume alone, for this very reason.

Better hurry, you only have 2 and a half hours until bedtime!

Fuck bedtime. I'm not crashing until that first chapter ends, with Sean Gillespie getting on the bus to school, followed by a black four-door Audi with tinted windows.

@Ruin : I'm doing great in math. Thanks for asking.

If you go to bed on time you can earn three good boy points. Good boy points can also be earned by filling out a resume correctly and taking more than one college class at a time.
GBP are redeemable for fantastic prizes such as chicken tendies.

So, @Connor I thought I should let you know what I've been working on.

It's been very hard for me to get back into the swing of writing (or even being creative at all), but last night I finally reach over 8,000 words on this short demo I'm writing. It's up to 16 pages and while I was aiming for 20, it might run over that. It will probably need some editing, though. I can get a bit verbose, but this is something I've been working on for the past few weeks and I'm finally starting to feel it again.

How's yours going, buddy?

I'm just about done with the first chapter of Alphaboy, and I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm about 1,261 words into the story, and I'm hoping to get 468 pages done before the month of April is up. Go ahead and rate this optimistic if you want, but I'm determined to get this bad boy out of my head.

Hey you go buddy. I'm glad to see you're really making a run on this and I think it's great you're determined.
Here's hoping for the best mate, If you want to share it afterwards you know most of us would be more than interested in reading it.
 
(catches up on thread)

I'll be dammed. He's actually serious.

Connor, first of all props for shelving Redesigning Eva for a while. That story was an albatross around your neck. When you're stumped on one project, moving on can add some clarity.

Secondly, what Null said was absolute truth. Quantity does not directly equate to quality- and unless you're writing about some drug-addled-screaming-in-your-face gonzo journalism H.S. Thompson/William Burroughs life experience- the stream of consciousnesses act is just a cop-out.

And finally, Get. Shit. Done. We'll be here to beta-read if you want us to.
 
Well, I'm pooped for tonight, and I'm starting to get tired. I'm just about done with the first chapter. I've got 1,493 words so far, which is just over seven pages.
