WIDGET TIME!

Kelly, Milo and Christopher will strive for 50,000 phat wordz



DK, Indea and Brett will strive for 25k + other important stuffs

[◊◊BLOODBEASTER◊◊]

I will write bare minimum 50 k, but more importantly I will write to the very end of my story.

[∆§Indea§∆]

Here, here I am going to endeavour to write the full 50 and more importantly like Kelly, finish the damn thing!

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

YESSSSSS! FUCK YESSSS! We need more peepz to go for 50 to make this a proper disaster for our personal lives. So Indea, I think Milo, me & Kelly. Word up my NaNobodies. Let us ride this strange torpedo into the grave and beyond.

50 K for me!

[◊◊BLOODBEASTER◊◊]

Yes yes! Go Indea!

[Sir Milo Quartermass]

I'm aiming for the full 50k! I want this book finished! I mean, that's not too much for a kiddie book, is it?

[Dr. Maneep Pamplemousse]

I'm going to limit myself to 25,000 words, with photos counting as below (I may revise later, but not to weasel through):

Photos with no touch-up beyond a crop job: 0 words.
Photos with mostly automated touch-up: 0 words.
Photos with cropping, automated touch-up, and color range or area specific adjustments: 150 words.
Photomerges which always require all of the above, and then some: 300 words.

If I find that my photos account for 50% of my content, I will retire in shame.

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

Milo -50k is about the length of The Great Gatsby, they say, and is less than half a typical paperback novel - and yet, it's just a bit higher than the highest wordcount typically regarded as a "novella," so still counts as a novel, I say. YA would usually have a lower words count than a Dean Koontz joint, so you're solid.

Brett- With that low of word count awards for pictures, I think it's safe to say most of your count will come from text. Just include any irrelevant information that springs to mind while you compose, babble, whatever.

[DKender]

I solemnly swear to complete at least 25K NANOWRIMO words in 30 days. Furthermore, it's my solemn duty to write my dissertation fellowship essays and at least 50% of one scientific paper before December.

Excelsior.

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

That's serious, dogg. RAWK

[Sir Milo Quartermass]

50K it is then! Let the wild rumpus start!

[◊◊BLOODBEASTER◊◊]

Aw yiss! I'm excited. I updated the widget so rumpus we shall.

[Kristi is prescribed skeletons]

I'll be cheering on the brave fighters while I do my own thing.

The photo albums for my blog posts are generally pushing 100 photos. Probably 10 panoramas per country average, that's 3000 words x three countries (9000), and then another 50 per worth 150 times three countries (22,500)...

I think it is more likely that I have the opposite problem, and I'm giving myself too much credit. My REAL goal is to select, edit, and post photos for all four countries and also blog all four countries before the end of the month. The word count goal was a guess.

@ Brett-- Dag, yo. Yeah that's the trick with any of these things, decided how much something is worth. On the Getyedone site you gotta decide whether something is hard/easy/boss etc, and that can be tough to gauge. Well whatever works, maybe even just a flat 'this many per day' thing. It helps to have something concrete, so your deadline will feel complete and not 'well I guess I sorta did it...' at least that's how it is for me.
