Alyssa (shyluck13) | 54 comments If you guys are on the computer writing your stories, how many words are you at so far? It's easy to find out, if you're on Microsoft, at least. All you have to do is go to Tools and then Word Count. It'll tell you how many words you're at.

So...how long is your story so far?


message 2: by [deleted user] (new)

From Brooks to Oceans (one chapter so far: 2,437

Unanchored (3 1/2 chapters): 4,737


message 3: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa (shyluck13) | 54 comments I'm at 29,167 or something. it's dragging, considering I started this at the beginning of July. I should be way past this by now. :( It's only at 67 pages, even though I'm not counting the extra scenes I've been working on.

In my radtastic fantasy that is in desperate need of re-plotting and a makeover and a new title, I have 11,639. That's for three chapters (one that isn't finished) and a short prologue.

In One Last Look, which has been discontinued but I'm counting anyway because I need to feel accomplished, I have 15,585. It has six (one unfinished) chapters and a prologue... I think?

I don't have many in my stories that I'm concentrating on.... ehehe....


KittyKitty Fompledump (Courtney) (eurosweetheart) | 1536 comments Why did you discontinue One Last Look?

Errr... I'm estimating because I'm on my iPod. Also remember I have 4 or 5 other stories running in my notebooks that I have no intention to count by hand. :)

Destiny: 52000
Pure Ridden; 2100
Changing shadows: 53000
Chill: 5000
Skyborn: 11000

Every time i think of wrapping it up-another plot point comes to mind.
I swear, it has changed so much form the original plan.
Estimating about 10000 words left...

Because it was crapola. I wrote it back before I knew anything about character development or plots... haha.

Coool I love new stories!


message 22: by Laura (new)

Laura  | 911 comments :) My friends are always ecstatic when I show them one at school...and then I stop writing at the climactic parts. It irritates them very very much.


message 23: by Isaac (new)

Isaac | 8014 comments I don't show anyone my writing but the internet... for some... reason....


message 24: by Laura (new)

Laura  | 911 comments Maybe because we can't start yelling at you, and in the back of your mind you're sort of thinking none of us are real. :3

Hey! I'm quite real!


Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives] (mariachhile) | 8772 comments Mod
Yes, but when you see somebody's icon, unless like me if you've video chatted with some of then, if you see their comment you don't try to imagine another person on the other side typing up something, do you?

But it's usually just a kid or something staring blankly at the screen typing away. BLEH SCARY. And whenever someone is telling me about something they did their picture is them.


message 33: by Laura (new)

Laura  | 911 comments So I'm like the little yellow Pon, standing in the rain under an umbrella... XD


Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives] (mariachhile) | 8772 comments Mod

Yup. Like if you said you played a game of soccer, Pon would be the one playing. Yes, with an umbrella.


message 37: by Laura (new)

Laura  | 911 comments lol...I guess maybe I would do that. BUT I AM GOING THROUGH AN UMBRELLA PHASE RIGHT NOW. I wanted this one: http://www.amazon.com/Kikkerland-Eye-...
But my mom wouldn't let me buy it cuz she was all like "It never rains in AZ!" But then there was a giant monsoon thingy that came for 2 weeks. >.>

Okay, but I'm changing it back. Well, it's sorta dark so tell me if you can't see it!
