so I do most of my writing on 4thewords.com. It's a site that turns writing into a game: you get quests requiring you to fight monsters that require you to write x amount of words in y time, and get loot and win prizes and progress through several plotlines and all that. Great motivation.
they've just started their annual halloween/not-nanowrimo-because-screw-their-recent-face-heel-turn/winter event. And one of the quests—a quest that will only ever be available during this one event and which expires 44 days after you pick it up—requires you to write 250k words.
that's 5,682 words, per day, for a month and a half.
and, my friends, when I play a game, I am a completionist.
so goodbye everybody, you won't be seeing me until December.
(this is a lie. I've decided to count my tumblr posts toward my word count since they're usually worldbuilding & character development, so I'll probably be here infodumping to fluff up my daily progress.)
(and if I've somehow sold you on the appeal of 4thewords my referral code is ZIUQJ49028)
