I solve this problem by not writing a book and masturbating.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 61 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yes. It is very easy to masturbate while not writing.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Easy for you to say. I struggle with this.

Bro. I swear to god me, you, and a user called “the piccard manoeuvre” are like the only three users on here.

Like I see y’all everywhere. I had discussions with you in many places at this point.

[–] Denvil@lemmy.one 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Only 3 users? Don't you count us lurkers out, we're here too. We're always here... always.

I have a lot of free time at the moment, although that's going to end next year.

[–] MajesticSloth@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Will you still have time to masturbate while not writing?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

It won't be November anymore, so what's the point?

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What happens next year?

You don’t have to share. Just curious is all.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My daughter starts a new online school program and I have to be a "learning coach" which basically means I have to keep an eye on her during the school day and help her when she needs it.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ah nice. It’s nice to have something to do like that.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I think it will be very difficult, but rewarding. Going down to a single income sucks, but she had to be taken out of school because of some serious bullying. I just hope this will make her happier.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You sound like a great person. I’m sorry that your daughter had to go through bullying and even worse, she is the one that has to change her life.

I wish you both success.

You’re right, it’s a terrible time to drop to a single income.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Thanks, I really appreciate it. Have a good holidays!

I hear you can save a lot of time by writing Lemmy comments while masturbating.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I'm here too, as well as VikingHippie

So that's your trick, you write pamphlets instead of book, I see. I'll try that next time

[–] drew_belloc@programming.dev 6 points 11 months ago

Impossible, i've tried so hard and still wrote at least a 3 pages story

[–] M137@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Or you could solve it by nut writing a book. Make it a two birds, one stone thing, but more like "many nuts, one book"

[–] Sondermotor@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

There's a 50k word novel that doesn't use the letter E. Doubling the word count while only using A, C, G, T, & U is on another level.

whats with the book writing thing? First I'm hearing about it.

New Novel November

(November is National Novel Writing month in which you're encouraged to write a 50k+ word novel)

[–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 32 points 11 months ago (6 children)

I would like to know who in the fuck thinks they can write a novel in only a month.

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 25 points 11 months ago

If college taught me anything, it's that I can write thousands of words per night. Typically fastest in the wee hours of the morning.

None of these words are good, mind you, but they are in fact words.

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (9 children)

If you can make time for 1,700 words a day starting on the 1st then by the end of the month you've exceeded 50k

Making time and having energy for 1,700 words a day on top of daily life activities and working a job is the trick.

I’ve done it. You’re not supposed to come up with a finished product in 30 days (although some people do). Mine was a first draft of roughly 55k words.

Nobody said it had to be a good novel.

Does anyone actually do any those challenges? I always thought it was a joke.

Didn't know about the novel one, but I already forgone NNN when doctors said it was bullshit.

[–] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

National Novel Writing Month, often abbreviated NaNoWriMo, is an annual event encouraging people to finally write that novel they've always said they would. The goal is to write 50K words during the month. There are usually meet ups, writing workshops, and other gatherings so participants can encourage each other, share ideas, and generally have fun being part of a thing.

Edit to add: The "nation" is the USA I'm assuming. I'm in the USA and have only heard of it being a US thing. Presumably if you live somewhere else and want to write a book in November, the various online communities would be glad to have you though.

[–] worldsayshi@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Great now I have to write a 50k word novel in 82 minutes.

Since when do you have to write a 50k novel?

[–] voidMainVoid@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They're talking about National Novel Writing Month (aka NaNoWriMo) which is November.

[–] TheSanSabaSongbird@lemdro.id 4 points 11 months ago

Also, 50k words is pretty short for a novel. It's more of a novella.

[–] jerome@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Why are you guys doing this to yourselves?
