Robinski he/him Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 A message primarily aimed at our new members, of which there are several in the last few weeks. When submitting, please label all of your files with your username. It just makes it easier to keep track, especially when there are multiple files attached. You'll appreciate the wisdom of this if you are here for a while. For example, I have an RE file on my Mac that has 1,621 files in it (folders per submitter, of course), and you'd be surprised how often being able to track back and check earlier comments or passages of a story comes in handing (for ongoing projects). You will also see that regular members are in the habit of including the submission date in the file name, which again helps when there are many weekly submission progressing through the same work, and submission of revised versions of previous chapters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah B she/her Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Can I have a slot for October 12th? I'm hoping deadline panic will kickstart my editing brain for draft 2-3ish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snakenaps she/her Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 I would love to say I'll have a chapter done by Monday but, let's face it, odds are low. Besides, I need to catch up on critiques. So, pass for Monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sniperfrog he/him Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 I think I will be ready for my first submission on the 19th. I am still working out a couple of kinks, but it should be ready by then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger_reckoning Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 May I have a spot for the 19th as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah B she/her Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 If there's room, I would like a slot for the 19th as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk she/her Posted October 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Looks we have @sniperfrog, @ginger_reckoning and @Sarah B up for tomorrow. Quick reminder as we have a number of folks who've joined recently to keep your submissions to the upper limit of 5k. This will be especially important as it looks like we're heading into another busy period; critiques suffer when the volume becomes overwhelming! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski he/him Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 ...what Silk said. As is typical with hard word count limits, you'll see there is some discretion to go say 10% over without anyone giving it much of a second thought*. If you absolutely have to go longer, good form is to ask if anyone would mind reading a longer submission in a given week, and to try to avoid doing it on a regular basis. (* Does not apply to publisher submissions!!!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinski he/him Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Good luck with the new job, @sniperfrog. Hope it goes well And good luck with NaNoWriMo, @ginger_reckoning. But of course luck has nothing to do with it, just write 1,667 words a day: no problem . Glad you're subbing again, @Sarah B, I'm really enjoying your story. Was it you who said it was your first time looking at it? Anyway, for anyone who's listening, free advice: (1) get out in front early, you'll really appreciate having a handful of thousand words in the bank for those days you just can't do it; (2) Be ready to start on the first day. Don't start planning on the first day, unless you are going to write character background, and count world building narrative towards your word count, which, I think is reasonable if it's proper narrative that adds to the story, even if it's not going to end up in the finished work. I stopped doing NaNo in 2017 because it wasn't really working for me anymore, but it's a powerful tool to get you moving, a powerful tool for building the writing habit. I still use it as a motivation to me today. Pretty much the first thing I think about every day is writing. (I don't get to show these off much, humour me, will you? ) Edited October 27, 2020 by Robinski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been pretty sweet so far. Only four days a week and I get to work with all my friends. @Robinski What a legend. That is amazing. I can see why it has lost its appeal for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
