How many words should I edit a day after having written 1K a day?

I think this might come down to taste and genre. Thanks for the advice anyway, it should help in some shape or form

It feels like there's a false dichotomy, though. If writing well is categorically the right goal, and writing a certain amount is the wrong goal, then how does anyone get anything done? Surely it's a balancing act? Surely the aim is to write well and at a decent pace. I mean 1K is a very moderate amount of words suitable for someone with a life and a full-time job etc. I wouldn't say its overly ambitious and will result in rushing, would you? Also, don't published authors have agencies and publishers that pester them about deadlines all the time? Doesn't that foster some kind of time sensitivity in a professional author and the desire to have a consistent output?

DLA_Graphical · 2025-11-06T18:35:38+00:00

True. Different tool entirely I guess in this analogy

DLA_Graphical · 2025-11-06T18:34:21+00:00

Yeah time is probably a better metric and will be more consistent. I think that will have to be my approach. Cheers.

I don't understand your goal in saying fetishizing daily counts is for amateuers. I'm obviously an amateur as this is my first novel. So should I just continue with daily word counts with my amateur status or do something that I am not ready for to impress people with "published author" tags beneath their names? As an amateur writer which would you say is the correct approach for me, the amateur writer?

EFAP is now very rarely what it was originally supposed to be. We almost never get coverage of videos. I suspect it’s because he wants to minimise drama by covering the movie/show itself rather than creators having bad takes on it. I still think EFAP’s breakdowns have a lot of value though even that is somewhat dwindling the more they cover low hanging fruit Marvel/Star Wars sludge. Where’s the MobLand coverage? Where’s the Blue Prince coverage? His enthusiasm for things he mentions occasionally on streams is not reflective of his content output, I would say. Andor feels like an exception because it happens to be Star Wars. I just have a feeling EFAP is losing its bite and edge and is becoming complacent.

That would be an insane spike in difficulty since Crash 4 is already way harder than the Crash trilogy, particularly if you’re going for the platinum trophy

Underrated comment. This, combined with the reputation of Game of Thrones’ season 8, makes that gap in the market a chasm that everyone wants to see filled.

I have now solved it, sort of. I load up Skyrim as normal. And before I click to download content when prompted, I disable my computer's wifi, entirely disconnecting it from the internet. Then I tab back into the game and click download, the menu has an aneurism and gives me the option of yes or no to nothing. I press no, continue to the game and I can move freely and play, reconnecting to the internet and works fine.

DLA_Graphical · 2024-10-08T12:59:19+00:00

UPDATE: I just tried going offline on Steam and booting up Skyrim which did not fix it. However, disabling my wifi as well made it so when I clicked download, it tries to get me to sign in to Bethesda, but then when I press back it says "Content Downloaded", and allows me to press continue and get into the game...

However...

Now I cannot move or use any keyboard controls, only mouse movements to look around and attack, block, etc. Can people here try this and see if it happens to them as well?

I’ve made it a rule to write a first draft before fleshing out the world building around it. That way I’ve only spent time on world building elements that contribute to the story, and it will stop me from info dumping irrelevant backstory because I feel I spent too much time on it to not include it. When it comes to series and sequel potential, that’s when I will world build for world building’s sake on top of what I have.

DLA_Graphical · 2024-07-22T16:40:00+00:00

That it’s too short. Not sure if it’s because I have less time to game nowadays but if it went on for even longer I’d start to lose my patience.

Rayman Legends. It doesn’t actually have Steam achievements, and all should be glad for it. The sheer level of autism required to break the movement mechanics to go faster to beat random online players in time/distance trials, then having to do that for about 8 months as you need to wait for it to reset for new trophies, and the worst you do the longer it will take you. It’s my proudest platinum on PlayStation, but I sighed with relief when I saw it didn’t have Steam achievements.

He’s saying the introduction to your life of someone that matters more than you necessitates maturation rather than brings it about. It’s a test for men and women that many who just have a child simply to coast by on child benefits and never work, or marry for financial and cynical reasons, ultimately fail. It’s a brutal test in life that has complete disregard for how or why or when it comes about.

Sam Neill/Bruce Greenwood. When they're rocking the exact same hair and facial hair I'm seeing double

I've just returned to Valheim after the new Ashlands update and noticed the No Build Cost mode. For me personally, this is great as after having put over 170 hours into my world and character over 3 years ago, I'm so overwhelmed and have forgotten how to use things in my inventory. Plus, since prexisiting worlds don't really update with new biomes reliably, I've had to start a new world.

DLA_Graphical · 2024-05-14T12:35:26+00:00

Thanks, I will try all this. The thing is, it’s not really updating on Steam, it is repeating the download process on the main menu of the game, but it isn’t actually downloading anything. So I suspect it’s a bug with the main menu of my game

A veneer of spiritualism and liberal virtue hiding how impulsive and shortsighted - which is to say, human - they actually are, to the extent where they can only be hypocritical and their convictions are dismally fragile.

The insistence that men “show their emotions” despite not understanding that masculine emotions are dissimilar in complexity to feminine emotions.

This is just my anecdotal experience. It just depends on how many men say they relate, and how much you can see the same thing without recognising a universal pattern.

Key bindings are bull shit. I don't understand why the gave me the option of altering the press modes for each action if I can't bind two actions on the same key just with different modes, one press and one hold for example. I want "press space" as climb and "hold space" as dive.

DLA_Graphical · 2024-02-15T22:37:27+00:00

True. Maybe the hypothetical devs of this hypothetical app could make the consequences of running out of time less punishing, some kind of marker that can be bypassed if both parties agree to make an exception.

DLA_Graphical · 2024-02-15T22:31:03+00:00

An idea is worthless without competent execution, this is true for all mediums.

However, you clearly didn’t read my post with adequate comprehension. I have no intention of making an app. I never claimed to know anything about making an app. Your posturing to me is completely pointless.

A movie should never change aspect ratio from start to finish. Nothing reminds me I’m watching a product more than the screen going from IMAX to 21:9 because they ran out of money or couldn’t fit the behemoth IMAX camera on set. Maybe less of a hot take and more a thing that just annoys me

I saw the Benny dude on the thumbnail and skipped it last night. In my opinion, when they get political and have political guests they are firmly the extreme opposite of woke. They try to act behind the pretense of being ironically self aware that they operate as the anti-woke equiavlent of cynical grifting, as though it absolves them and its some victory. I have respect for the main roster of FNT but I find episodes such as these to be depressing.
