I hate being a cynical bastard, but....

[Perversion]

...it's come to my attention that after Postulate Man's new sig, two others so far (that I've noticed) have followed suit.


Now, I honestly wish all three (or more) would-be novel writers all the best, and truly hope that having those counters in their sigs inspire them to shoot for the moon, and come up with something really creative, something they can be proud to say they've created.




But I have this distinct feeling that nobody's gonna get even halfway through.









Please, prove me wrong.






For the record, I'm not going to put a counter in my sig, because I know how lazy and unmotivated I am, and it would just end up being an embarassment.

The point is that when we get lazy people can be like "So I've noticed your counter isn't moving at all" and it whips us in line. xD

I'd rather read a well put-together short story than one filled with words to reach a goal. But good for you guys.

That's what I ended up doing last year because I felt like I was forcing the story.

Make 49,000 of the words just catch phrases Steven Seagal has said in all of his movies. I gaurantee you'll win an award or w/e.

I took my counter out because youre right, Id never finish it, I just open it up and work on it every so often, perhaps if the contest was 6 months Id do it, but smurtles right, it just seems forced

Re: I hate being a cynical bastard, but....

It is forced. That is the whole point, it's art for the sake of art that you do in a month.

Did anyone even read the website?
