Boring emo crap, and Writing Challenge
9 years ago
Hi boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen.
(Just putting some boring "me" stuff that no one cares about anyway. Skip to the bolded part if you want)
It's been, what, about a year and a half since I first posted my first story an what do I have to show for it? 12 stories and barely any progress with my skill. Not even 1 by month, and that's if counting each chapter as a separate story.
To be honest, it's not what I thought it'd be when I started. At first, I wanted to be at least semi-regular and get 1-2 by month as I got used to things. However, it seems that I grew way above that line.
Be it story research, school, job, or even just procrastinating; I'm always leaving behind my writing and it shows.
I know that an inconsistent publishing schedule is not my worst issue (especially when taking into account: lack of vocabulary, lousy descriptions, predictable storylines, etc.) but they can all be resumed in one way: if I don't write more, I won't improve.
Therefore, I decided to do a writing challenge.
Throughout all this month, I promise to give you a new story every day. I know what you're thinking, how can a procrastinating bad writer hope to accomplish doing 3 times as much in one month than he does in a year? Well, the answer is simple: I don't.
Nonetheless, I'll do as much as possible to fulfill that promise and, who knows, maybe that'll help me get the discipline I so desperately need.
Though, due to the time constraint, this'll mean that I'll be popping out several stories with barely any editing (a few typo corrections here and there) and that'll mean a drop in quality from my part.
To the few people following me, I apologize for flooding you for this month; but I need to do this for me if I want to continue with this hobby.
(There's no need to read any longer, but do as you wish)
As for the rules of the challenge, they are simple (to be updated as required):
1.- I, Togo, promise to deliver one story per day for this month (making it 31 stories in total).
2.- Said stories have to be posted one per day as long as the challenge last.
3.- If I were ever to be unable to write a story one day (be it a medical emergency or just that I had an event with some friends), I'll have to write and/or post the corresponding stories the next available day. Not matter how many stories they are or how long it takes me to finish all of them.
4.- While editing will be minimal during the week, I should at least try to put as much effort as I usually do during the weekends/vacations since I'll have the time to do so.
5.- Multiple chapters, prequels, sequels, sidestories, etc. do not count as stories for this challenge. Also, if I were ever to think about having multiple chapters for a story, they all have to posted during the same day (except when I came with them a few days later, when I'll have to post as many as possible during the same day).
6.- I can cheat in the sense that I can use previously written, but not published, stories for this challenge. As long as I write from scratch and follow all other rules.
Again, sorry for the inconveniences this might cause, but hopefully it'll all be for the best. Also, if you ever wanted a badly written version of something you like, this is the perfect time to ask it. It'd really help to have a few ideas to use for the remaining stories.
