rpwrimo: day one;
YAY RPWRIMO!

I have two goals here - the 30,000 words goal that everyone doing rpwrimo is aiming for and my own personal goal of 50,000 words because I wanted a NaNo comparable word goal, even if this is the equivalent of two stories because it's two different game worlds (which doesn't count PSL or near-PSL).


→ I have the six (soon to be seven) characters that I regularly play. I don't know what goals will be met, but if I somehow meet both, I still intend to keep going, as the reason I wanted to do RPWriMo was to see just how much I typically do in logs/threads/narratives a month.

→ Since OpenOffice appears to be counting some of my HTML, I'm using www.wordcounttool.com for my official word count. I don't know if it's the favored online tool or anything, it just seems to be popular.

→ I've made a spreadsheet of all my characters and all their wordcounts (logs/threads/narratives as one section and everything else (any drabbbles, any backstory narratives that can't be posted to the games, etc) in the second section) to see what each individual character's counts are for the month. I think I may be taking this too far. :P

→ GOAL ONE: So far, managing the 1,000 doesn't seem to be anything more than what I would typically write in a day. Given that it was Sunday, there were first-person plotty things and I was distracted by IM more than I usually am, some of my tag time did go to that.

→ GOAL TWO: I was mid-tag when midnight rolled around, but I figure this is RPWriMo and not NaNoWriMo, so actually completing the tag (and posting it, if it's a thread and not a GDoc) should be what I aim for in considering my total count? IDK, just my feeling. Without that tag, I didn't get to 1,667 to meet the day's goal. Still, I'm not too fussed about it because of the above.
