    Lambda everything happens so much

    Nothing like realizing two of your main plots have conspicuous, difficult-to-fix problems in the middle of them, which inform a million other things, the day before nano starts.
    I'm going to have a great time.

    Look. Look. Last time I completely fucking forgot to mention the thing that set up the connection between my nano and the rp that spawned it. Half my cast just apparently didn't have a motivation to be cooperating with the people they were supposed to be helping, much less to show up in the scene they need to show up for in the main rp
    You can do this, things will flow

  10. Fuck yeah guys let's do this shit

    I'm incredibly out of practice with writing in general (I wrote 20-ish chapters of a fanfic over the summer, before that I hadn't written for anything but my job since college in 2014) so I'm just gonna write a 50k-word story about my gemsonas. But let's do some writing! I'm so excited to try this!

    if anyone's signing up for 4TW to cope with this massive amount of writing hell, here's my invite code: VXCPB01793
    you'll get 20 crystals if you end up joining after your trial date is over and iirc I can send "motivate!" packages that give (I think) items? I super need to check that :|

    I am doing this despite having a barest resemblance of a plot (it's more of a concept than a plot but I'm trying) and a brain crammed full of Hellenistic Egypt facts and a full time job

    1811 for the first day isn't bad seeing as it's barely coherent text, about ten unconnected scenes, and already more than I have probably written this entire year

  14. I'm at just over 15oo after day one, about to start day two. Wish me luck
    Update- Day three, 46oo words, not quite ten percent. Tomorrow is a day off, hopefully I can push things a bit.

  15. Just realized I said "15k" instead of "15 hundred", I'm an idiot. Still, I'm at almost ten percent after three out of thirty days.

    I'm a little in shock
    shit...went fu(c/n)ky
    and I lost almost 10k
    of my nano writing
    and I can't get it back
    and the backups I thought I had are...haha. useless? unavailable.
    god.

  18. What writing program do you use? Does it have a "restore previous version" option? Does your computer store temporary files anywhere?

    I was using 4thewords which is unfortunately all online...for some reason my file shows up as what it was before? so I've emailed the devs asking if the old version is stored because it's still showing the information from the old version (word count, preview, etc), but they haven't gotten back to me yet

    thank you I'm trying to
    I mean if it was regular shit I'd just...rewrite it? but it was SUCH a huge chunk of my nano ><
