digitaldisciplineOkay, I have no idea if it's a good idea to compare myself to real, successful, published-type authors, but there are a few of you around these parts, and you all have interesting things to day, and intriguing statistics to share.
Since I'm butt-in-chair and committing to my first novel-length thing (in collaboration, but still, this is orders of magnitude larger in scope than anything I've previously put to paper or type), I will do what has worked in the realm of picking up obnoxiously heavy things, and emulate the practices of the more-accomplished-than-me people in the immediate vicinity.
So, apologies to individuals named Lake, Bear, Priest, Valente, et al, from whom I am shamelessly cadging some bloggardly habits.
Project: Snarky Robot Noir
Deadline: There is no whooshing noise approaching at this time
New words written: 1150
Present total word count: 1150
Reason for stopping: Topped arbitrary 1k bogey set by collaborator
Mean things: Everyone fakes everything, offstage beheadings, shady finances
Fun things: Ceiling squid, robots doing the pee-pee dance
