Sorry. I don’t always get jokes. I’m getting better I think, but strange wiring.I am very mixed up, too, but it was more a Polish/polish joke.

Let's be careful not work the poor man to death.

Yes, that would be like a whole series for me.Total congraduations, 32K is a lot of words, EM.
It’s my longest story (32,000 words
I’m a wordy bitch (copyright @MelissaBaby )How is it we've been writing our mutual stories over pretty much the same amount of time and mine only clocks in at just over 18K???
That’s because you don’t speak Latin .And how many times have I missed your jokes? I've lost count.
I'm too tired to answer this properly until tomorrow. But the Jersey Shore: tentacle monsters come ashore at Asbury Park in 1985. They look around and one of them says, "Man, this is just the wrong place to be." Another one responds, "I've heard it's much better at these towns called The Hamptons over on Long Island." "Okay, let's check that out."I just hit submit on a story I have been working on for a long time. RL stuff intervened, plus I was stuck at least twice.
It’s my longest story (32,000 words - which I know is a drop in the ocean for some here). Then, I’ve written a 30,000 word story before. It wasn’t so much the length as the complexity.
So I have:
Again, maybe others are used to casts of 30 plus. But 10 was a lot for me to juggle.
- 2 FMCs
- 5 just a hair’s breadth below the MC level, two male, three female
- The villain of the piece, male, and maybe another rung down
- 2 other supporting characters
Plus the plot is kinda wide ranging with a lot going on. And inevitably a few McGuffins thrown in.
And it’s a supernatural tale, so more world building required than, say, a sex romp set on the Jersey Shore .
It’s - at the very least - rather ambitious for a relatively new writer (a year and a bit since starting).
Just the continuity has been a massive headache. Plus - as we’ve both mentioned - it’s loosely linked to two stories (maybe three in the future) by @Djmac1031 (one existing and one forthcoming) as well as one of my own existing ones.
I kinda felt like my head was going to explode at points.
I think I need to write some nice, simple stroke stories for a bit .
Have you ever taken on a project that you were probably not really good enough (at present) to fully realize?

Post deleted until tomorrow.
What, you mean a million words published in two years? You should see what's on the cutting room floor.

Tentacle monsters do swim in the ocean at least sometimes, right? Or are there different kinds of them? I'm not up to speed on that topic.
As I have said before. Hateful man .I have almost 100K written, proofed and waiting to post also
Actually, I was reviewing my prescriptions and there was one I've been on forever. I asked my doctor why I was on it and she wasn't sure, it was prescribed by another doc. So I quit it. And it was like a dam opening. I've been writing 10 - 12 hours a day since July.As I have said before. Hateful man .

I have one story here with 60 named characters but only 10 of these were significant players in the tale. Most of my stories involve multiple major characters and a large supporting cast.Again, maybe others are used to casts of 30 plus. But 10 was a lot for me to juggle.

Asbury Park is much improved over what it was thirty years ago. However, the Casino is just a shell of what is once was.Poor Asbury Park.
I keep meaning to ask whether you read my Jersey shore homage.

Sorry, I haven't read anything on this site in at least a year. What is the title?

Thanks. A very subtle title!
It’s basically a very long set of puns on South Jersey Shore locations .Thanks. A very subtle title!
