750words, Bakuman ending

[lucathia]

I've been trying to write with 750words, a site where the goal is to write 750 words a day. You earn points and badges for writing daily, with points going back to 0 if you break your streak. I've been failing pretty hard, only writing a day here and there. My longest streak so far is two days. >__> The problem with my use of the site is that I write and need to go back and fill in details and description, but once a day ends, the words are then frozen... so I can't go back and add in details. I haven't been able to log most of my words because I end up needing to finish the rest in my own word documents. I suppose the site will be nice to use for slapping down ideas... it's supposed to be like free writing.

750words is pretty cool in that it keeps track of how long it takes you to reach 750 words, how long you spent actually typing, your words per minute, how many times you get distracted... it also gives a rating for the writing (so far, the next part of Bittersweet Sweetness is rated G! XDDD) and 750words tells me that it mostly concerns Religion (haha, it's really not, but I can see why...), with the mood being "upset". XDD The most frequently used word is "his" (orz), followed by "he" and "Adair"... I'm pretty amused because when I wrote Lessons in Demeanor, 750words told me it mostly concerned Religion and Food. XD; I suppose Legend of Sun Knight fics would mostly be analyzed as concerning Religion with how much I throw around the phrase "God of Light"...

I'm not done with part 21 of Bittersweet Sweetness yet, but the words are going to be frozen in less than twenty minutes. =/

I've been skimming over some of my old fics... I really should finish some of my older WIPs... leaving them hanging is such a bad feeling. I might try to poke at one of them along with Bittersweet Sweetness. Need to review canon though...

Aside from fic writing... BAKUMAN HAS ENDED! ;____; I will be very emotional when I read the last chapter, chapter 176. It's great that the series came to its natural ending though, and the series ended on a high note! ♥ Events in the series mirrored real events quite a lot! Aaaand I am so proud of all the characters, omg. They came so far. I'm also very impressed with how Ohba and Obata saw this story through to the end without losing the focus of the story.

edit: Oh? I think the old LJ-cuts are back! I hope it's permanent. :3

I was actually surprised when I read that news about Bakuman but then, like what was pointed out by some readers, Ohba and Obata did a good job to end the manga this time, than making the story longer but will suffer from the plot.

And really, the old LJ-cuts are back? :)) Lol, after all, they received a lot of negative responses. :))

Ah! The 750 words website! I did that in November NaNo since I knew I'd be writing lots everyday... and then I accidentally missed Day 28 and there went my goal to get the 1-month badge. =.= I haven't picked it up since because I had a week or so off and then Hetalia, January sorta off, Feb was NaFE but I was started splitting between computer and writing journal... Yup...

BUT THE BADGES ARE SO COOL! I hope you enjoy that site and all of its fun stats.

I don't follow Bakuman, but it's nice to know that a great series ended well (that's always the best!). Whooo \o/

Ah, let me go remove that CSS now. :D

I'm on 750words too!

You know, I often have the same problem of wanting to add in details later, but what I normally do is write in advance and paste in as I go. I have issues writing 750 at one time and if I don't do it all at once, I forget.

I don't want to break my streak. I'm at 106 days in a row. I'm so close to my pterodactyl. :D

Good luck though!

Waaaaaiiitttt...that was the ending of Bakuman?! I didn't even pick that up. It's a perfect place to end but I wish it had gone longer.........I freaking love that series...D:

*just crunched through the final TPA and submitted it and oh my goodness I need to pass out* Well no, I just decided to sneak on LJ for a little tiny bit and I'm so far removed from it, but hey that sounds like a neat site. :D

Hey Lucathia, I hope you're doing well. <3 Have about a month and a half of student teaching left and I -can't- wait. *phew* It's all downhill from here!
