I did this for nanowrimo and it ended up working out so in order to try and hold myself further accountable: I have 50k words of a book written. Before december ends I will finish writing the main chunks book so that I can begin rewrites and revisions. "Finish" is not as strict of a deadline as 50k words but I have a good goal in mind. Scrivener has been incredibly useful.

Remember that someone, sometime, somewhere, said that the definition of insanity was doing the same thing but expecting a different result?
I too thought about throwing a junta chat, but I thought the named starter and the back up both have 15 minutes.
Is Narwhal overthrowing the Chat-stitution?
The rule was 10 and 5, then 10 and 10, and now you're telling me it's 15 and 15?
Gosh darn it I should have posted my original version of this thread, where yes, I made it much more abundantly clear that the robot is not welcome in this thread, this is a coup, I am declaring myself dictator-for-life, and we can either resist that whole plan OR we can realize how much easier it makes everything!
Speaking of nano @BeNarwhal I read what you have so far
You should definitely write more! It's conversational and readable and flows nicely. I basically like the balance of anecdotes to lectures, but I think I would balance it slightly more heavily towards anecdotes. Still, the way the two are interspersed and the not strictly chronological way everything is arranged so far is good

like a half hour without chat wouldn't do some of us good.
In my D&D game my character is no longer a shapeshifter thanks to the big bad guy and some die rolls, but is now just a plain old lady tiefling. Well, a crotchety old gnome male who is stuck as a female tiefling... with hooves, a forked tail, and who does not cast a shadow
The DM has had my minion (a succubus that I captured with a true name amulet, currently tasked with running a long con on a group of nobles) offer to hook me up with a devil that could turn me into my original form as a gnome
On the one hand being a lady tiefling isn't really my warlock's jam (as a succubus he could shapeshift freely to whatever so it wasn't an issue), otoh muh soul. Soul vs dick+feet, is tough choice.
We had a scene where my warlock was in the party's keep in wrapped in a blanket in his underwear staring forlornly at the hooves sobbing, spending 1100 gold (thats a lot!) to call an imp from the nine hells to go get me a cake from a bakery so I feel better, and I keep making dexterity checks whenever I dash or something since going from feet to hooves ought to be an awkward transition, leading to lots of falling over and going prone in combat.
The DM loves that I'm imposing disadvantages on my character for entirely RP reasons including wasting significant portions of my gold on coping mechanisms
Also I pronounce Aioua's name outloud as Iowa like the state. Is this correct?

life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
I do like as you progress in AC Origins people will call out "Oh shit thats you!" Like I rescued a rebel leader to help me take over a fort and he's all "Oh shit the dude who fights by himself in the arena? FUCK YEAH I'M TEAM BAYEK!"
As they should, I'm the one good Egyptian cop left. Just me and my mystical eagle solving crimes. By uhhh murdering a lot of people. I did laugh at a mission where I was looking for a singular murderer and in the course of it killed at least 10 soldiers.
"yeah uhh we have to find this singular murderer he's not keeping up his end of the murder bargain."
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
@desc with Get Out, the spoilers part of the end is I guess kind of a silly idea in a vacuum but fits pretty perfectly with the movie and its themes. I can't blame you for thinking its not a great idea from reading the summary but I think that a plot synopsis does the movie a disservice.

Oh! Thank you, @credeiki Yeah, I didn't set any hard rules about what I wrote about during the challenge (aside from the outline you see at the top of the document), whatever topic spoke to me on that day, I jumped on it. And, admittedly, personal anecdotes could be harder to write than the essays, so I probably went in that direction more often than not. The same can be said for the chronology - while I do intend for the finished product to be a semi-linear narrative interspersed with the essays or letters, I didn't handicap myself with any particular rules while I was just getting started
I'm very glad and very humbled that you read it, though, and I very much appreciate the feedback!

hm we got approval yesterday to do a cool technique that we have absolutely 0 training data for and for which it is non-trivial to generate training data and for which training data may or may not exist somewhere in the bowels of academia (maybe with licensing problems if it does)
