Now, to finish Book Three in and of itself...

EDIT:

The official one!:



*grin*

Okay, okay. I'm woman enough to admit it. I failed hard.

Most of you likely know this, but for the folks who don't - I'm ADD. Somehow, in challenging Chaz to prove himself and then offering to compete with him, I miraculously forgot this one important factoid. It's hard enough for a normal person to focus on one thing for 12 straight hours. For me, it's downright impossible. My brain shut down and refused to function within the first four hours. Even after I tried doing something else and it rebooted, it bluescreened whenever I thought about going back to the new story. (Yes, my brain is a crappy Windows machine. You can't tell me you're surprised.)

So, I failed at writing 50k in 24 hours.

However. Before my brain dissolved into a steaming pile of mush, I was writing at a pace of over 2k an hour. And it was not a steaming pile of feces, either.

Which means that, had I made it all 24 hours - I would've had 50k at the end.

After NaNoWriMo, and after Jubagh is finished, I am trying this thing again. I'll leave myself a few days to write 24 individual hours, in whatever increments won't make my head essplode, and see if I can make 50k.

Granted, I won't be able to say "I wrote fifty thousand words in a day!"

But "I wrote fifty thousand words in twenty-four hours!" sounds just as impressive. *grin*

I'll keep you posted on when I try to drive myself insane again. It'll likely be after December.

Oh Chaaaaaz~! What was your end result, O Claimer Of The Impossible?

That's right, I said it. Jubagh is cluttering up my journal and probably spamming a lot of people who aren't interested in being spammed.

SO!

jubagh! Friend this journal if you want to keep up with the story from here on out. Nothing is friendslocked, and I'm not going to monitor who friends it and friend you back - it's just my journal for Jubagh bits.

I've crossposted all the past bits over to that journal with the original times, dates, and etcs, but I'm not going to delete the original posts off this journal just yet. I'm too fond of everyone's comments! =3

Again, friend jubagh to continue keeping track of the story! No further snippets will be posted on this journal.

To my fellow NaNos - keep writing! =D
To everyone else - you just rule. ^_^

Due to having a social life roommate-ly obligations, Chaz and I have struck a slight compromise on the Chaz Challenge. The 24 hours will be split into two 12-hour periods.

Now, granted, this -does- take sleep deprivation out of the equation, but it still leaves in the "oh gods when will I find time to eat?!" and the "crap I gotta pee!" and "aw man the dog's gotta pee!" issues. (Not that one isn't allowed to eat or use the restroom during the double 12 hours... but each minute one spends away from the keys is a minute without wordcount!)

Chaz states that his two twelves will be taken on Saturday and Sunday. Mine will probably be much the same - one on Saturday evening/night, whenever I get home from Lynx's den, and one on Sunday, after some sleep.

IT'S STILL ON, BABY.

(With the revised rules of engagement, anyone else wanna be crazy and step up to the plate with us? Aiming for 50k, but whomever gets the most words gets mad bragging rights, be it more or less than the goal!)

[discussion of NaNo and writing]
Chaz (platinumetude): If I sit down and type it up
Chaz: I could probably have it done in a day.
Me: What, the entire story, or Nano?
Chaz: Both.
Me: ... you think you could do 50k in a day?
Chaz: mhmm.
Me: Alright. CONSIDER YOURSELF CHALLENGED. I wanna see it happen.
Me: I'll even see if I can do it with you.
Me: WALK THE WALK, BABY
Chaz: I SHALL
[insert banter here]
Chaz: 4:35 PM*
Me: Read and witnessed!

*EST, November 6th, 2007.

He's starting this RIGHT NOW, and I'm going to see if I can't beat his end number. I'll fall off the face of the earth on Sunday (11/11 - hah! auspicious) and write like hell for 24 hours. (Probably midnight to midnight... I will so need sleep before work on Monday.) It won't be Jubagh, though - it'll be something else. I don't wanna trash Jubagh. I wanna start fresh with something this crazy. 8D

Anyone else up for the challenge? *mad grin*
