It's almost August as I type this update and that means we're getting closer to another year of NaNoWriMo. Ahh, November - that month of the year when I join the hordes in building up a wordcount. I made 84k words last year which is my highest total yet. If I were the ambitious sort this is where I'd pledge to go for 100k. I'm not though. Instead my cynicism merges with my arthritis to remind me that the goal is 50k words and if I reach that and don't break a new records that's perfectly fine.
The irony (perhaps?) of that sentiment is that I took the time to get my word count for Beyond the Beyond up to date and the total, as of update 81, is at 314,215 words. I swear I didn't start out with the intention to write an LP in half a million words! Act 3 is the wordiest so far at 95,953 words total.
When this post goes up I'll go back to writing update 83. That brings me to an immediate update. I'm not planning on posting said update this Sunday, July 31. The reason is that the internet connection in my home has been unstable. A new modem from TWC is only one part of the solution. A line outside has to be replaced. It's getting a lot of interference which has been knocking the modem offline. With any luck that will be complete within 48 hours and things will be stable. Since I can't make any guarantees though I'm just going to use the time to make update 83 a bit more interesting (or at the very least proofread it a few more times).
That brings me to my last point. What to do after Beyond the Beyond? Hmm, that's a good question. My recording options are limited. Should I do another narrative LP? Beyond the Beyond has been lengthy but rather fun for me.
