Probably because the mod who did it had no reason to believe that you were being serious. Hell, I don't think you're serious about it.

Also, judging by the quality of your posts, your writing skills are probably substandard. Writing typically requires punctuation and good spelling, so if you can't do that, you have no reason to be writing a novel, especially one with a premise that's there just for the sake of having a ridiculous premise, not because it'll make an interesting story.

I deleted your first post because you're trolling.

Stop.

Literature is not a forum for meaningless posts about how you like to get off.

And besides, this forum is PG-13.

thyraxicmole · 11-15-2006, 01:53 PM

ive already proven here that i can write normaly i just dont realy care 2 do it. specially on forumz. plus btw omg msword has specheck! lol duh. and im serious about that i am rally am riting my story baout that. even tho its only 800 words. dont call me a likar! and im onot a troll either, dont be mean im not that ugli

**Squeek** · 11-15-2006, 10:16 PM

A troll on forums is someone who posts in topics simply to incite flame wars, or a situation where people are just throwing around insults.

Also, forums are expected to be a place where you write out words and sentences, just like you would for a story. Since it's not a chat, you have the time to spell out words and even run it through a spell check.

Anyway, I'm closing in on 6,000. 2,000 words just in two hours, and I've got a lot more time ahead of me.

Seriously, once I got the plot down, this became so much easier.

Oh, and I found out today there's a group of people at my university doing this. How did I find out? My English professor told me when I told him that the quality of my papers would suffer since I was doing this event (in a joking manner). It was then that he told me he was also doing the event and was at 20,000 words.

=(

MalReynolds · 11-15-2006, 10:27 PM

Now, I'm not doing this, but I can do around 2,000-3,000 words an hour, if I'm really going at it.

Stupid work. It's alright, I would have lost motivation anyway.

**Squeek** · 11-15-2006, 10:32 PM

Don't get me wrong. I have a ton of work to do this month. I don't even know if I can finish, but I'm trying anyway because I really want to succeed.

I have a 12-page research essay due on Monday that I haven't started. I have work on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Wii launches this Sunday, and company comes down for Thanksgiving on Tuesday.

So, I'm trying to get as much as possible done before all of that and then finish up in my remaining time after the Thanksgiving break.

Yeah, I've noticed that if I don't take breaks, I can really crank out words. I just spit out 500 more between these posts and I've been interrupted a lot.

Like I said, once you get a plot going, 50,000 isn't that many. My biggest problem is going to be to not make the story repetitive while still making it long.

MalReynolds · 11-15-2006, 10:37 PM

50,000, while not a terrible number, is still something that's difficult to achieve. Given enough free time in a week, I could probably write something 75,000, but that's what the challenge is: People who have other stuff to do trying to turn out something that resembles a novel. They say that's the hardest part, getting it all down.

Shyeah, right. Hardest part is getting it read.

thyraxicmole · 11-18-2006, 05:21 AM

guys im still at 800 words. that means i have to write like 3000 words a day thats bull****. what about you i dont think ill be able to finish my goal unless i drink a unch of monsters a couple nights.

whatever2900 · 11-23-2006, 03:20 PM

yea.. no. I have no balls at all... but i am editing my friend's novel.. and as payment i get to be a character in the story! woo!

**Squeek** · 11-28-2006, 06:29 PM

By the way, I gave up at about 8000 words.

Wii, school finals, Thanksgiving. Not enough time or effort on my part to even bother.

They chose a bad month for this event. Try in like June or July. That would be much better.

MalReynolds · 11-29-2006, 11:22 AM

You would think it would be, really.

But it's still difficult to write a book.

Chrissi · 11-30-2006, 10:23 PM

Yeah, I lost. Stuck at 2500. November is over in 7 minutes....

Oh well... maybe next year.
