A million of those words is a walkthrough for the last stage, so I don't need any codes.
aspro said:Does stage five involve you setting the only copy of the manuscript on fire on YouTube?
Manuscripts don't burn.

Emoliate then.
When your book goes stellar are you going to drive a DeLorean like the guy who wrote Ready Player One? That's how authors show they've made it these days.

At 5 cents a word I could drive three of them.

No, you didn't miss it first time around:

By the old numbers this is stage 3/3. Nothing has changed except that the description of the stages is more detailed.
gamingeek said:What's this about?
My magnum opus (I hope; I wouldn't want to write anything longer than it, or anything anywhere near that length ever again lol). After almost four years I finished writing it this month, and thus the editing has subsequently begun.
I hope that answers both your and Vader's questions somewhat.
gamingeek said:Whoa. When I was younger I could write a book in under a year. About 3 pages a day usually.
Nice. Any of those survive?
gamingeek said:Yeah 2 and a half did. The second one I had printed into a few copies. Publishers said it was more genre and was more suited to a genre publisher. My third would have been the best and most sellable but I gave up after years of no gos from the industry. It's not worth it.
Didn't follow up on it with genre publishers?
SBR forever, bro!

Until the second line I didn't remember who you were. 
It will be finished before Double the Body. Blairney can quote me on that.

Couldn't be jacked. I screwed myself with my first two novels, set one in the future, then tried to retrofit it to current day. Set one in the past, tried to retrofit it into current day. 3rd was gonna be good. Very Steven King Dean Koontz esque.

Because I think I remember what his name is here, and his location gets flagged: Old Aberdeen, Scotland.
Stage 2 was completed on the 17th of November when I reached 3,600,358 words. That will grow a little as I add the few remaining pieces, but not drastically (and some are contributions from my sister), so it is now time to begin the editing process.
I'm too lazy to even post an esoteric picture this time because I just spent several hours editing 8,500 words of the 3,600,000 odd that I have to get through. So this is probably a bit pointless, but I'm pleased nonetheless. Which is not much good to you. Oh well. Stage 2 (initial editing) started yesterday.
The first stage began in December 2009. Estimated time of total completion: 2019-2022.
