You can turn off the 'quick reply' box in the User Control Panel, if that helps. (see 'board preferences' and 'edit display options') I did that when I found myself looking for templates in the wrong place.

We'll get back to our discussion of boxcodes and templates in a moment, but I want to post this up to give myself incentive not to quit NaNo just yet:
I only need 8,700 words to reach 50,000! Over 82% of the way to 50,000!

Improving a bit on yesterday! I'm finally-- FINALLY-- up to Tarot's word-count goal for the day. For the first time all month, I'm a few hundred words over where I need to be.

I didn't think it was possible, (or impossible, I simply didn't know either way! I kept and open mind!) and yet here I am. Four days from finishing, and I simply have to do Tarot's daily 1,666 increments. I will only need 6,150 words to reach 50,000! Over 86% of the way to 50,000! ~=- Quint

Woot! Go Quint! Just push yourself for the last little bit. Now is the time of the sprint but it's also when you need to push yourself. Getting there though :)

[Quint's Scrapbook] New Start on a New World

Postby Quint Caravel on November 27th, 2013, 7:38 am

I don't think this is interesting enough to go into the chat quote thread, but I liked Evanie's comment so I'm posting it to my own scrapbook.

===========================================

(00:01:19) Quint_Caravel: Well, I admire any storyteller or moderator. It's not a position I'm capable of.
(00:02:21) ChatBot: Evanie_Song logs into the Chat.
(00:02:33) Quint_Caravel: Hey Evanie!
(00:02:35) Evanie_Song: Salutations :)
(00:02:38) Bolivar: selling yourself short?
(00:02:54) Bolivar: Greetings!
(00:03:01) Quint_Caravel: Nah, Bolivar, I never sell myself short. 10 Mizas is the standard price.

(00:03:16) Quint_Caravel: But I lack the 60 days, so I'm legally not capable of being a mod.
(00:03:22) Evanie_Song: So I'm looking for where to have my thread graded for Zeltiva, but I can't find it... can anybody help me out?
(00:03:57) Quint_Caravel: Ok, I'll help.
(00:04:18) Quint_Caravel: http://www.mizahar.com/forums/to​pic19251.html
(00:04:49) Evanie_Song: Woah, hey I've seen your posts like everywhere, Quint. You're a very intriguing writer, and thank you.
(00:06:28) Quint_Caravel: I don't know what 'intriguing' means in that context. But anyway, you're welcome.
(00:07:35) Quint_Caravel: (Which is to say, I haven't gotten any PMs from people who say they are curious about something.)
(00:08:35) Bolivar: interesting quint
(00:11:15) ChatBot: Trickster logs into the Chat.
(00:11:32) Quint_Caravel: Hey hey it's the Trickster!
(00:11:59) Trickster: Hello hello~ how are you all doing?
(00:12:25) Quint_Caravel: Apparently, I'm being very intriguing

(00:13:15) Wanda_Endust: Quite.
(00:13:38) Trickster: Intriguing is good ^^
(00:14:54) Evanie_Song: Well, I've read your blog, and to me it's intriguing, I don't know, it's just different from what a lot of people write. You made a good point about the chat room, how some people are more active on this site than others, and how some people are more comfortable acting as a character behind a keyboard as opposed to being themselves.
(00:15:19) Trickster: ^ very true
(00:16:02) Quint_Caravel: And yet no one ever writes things like this: "There were many things Wanda could handle. She could navigate the majority of the castle-city's roads and alleys with ease. She could heal a migraine with a touch. If she wanted to, she could even implant a fleeting thought into the mind of a stranger.

One thing she could not deal with was the intriguing Quint Caravel." :-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(
(00:16:33) Ignotus_Everto: *ahem*
(00:16:47) Trickster: So many faces...
(00:16:58) Wanda_Endust: Herm hum huh?
(00:17:50) Quint_Caravel: Well, thank you very much, Evanie.
(00:18:03) Evanie_Song: You are very much welcome.
(00:18:33) Trickster: ♪

Improving even more on yesterday! Yesterday I was finally up to Tarot's word-count goal for the day. Today, for the first time all month, I'm almost a full day ahead. So now it's not a questioning of if I finish, it's now a question of when. :)

So, two days from finishing, if I do Tarot's daily 1,666 increments. Or three days if I do about 1,100 words a day. Either way, I only need 3,500 words to reach 50,000! Over 93% of the way to 50,000!

It is odd for me to be this close to doing something this awesome. I've been writing since July, creatively writing I mean, and for the first month or two I was only averaging a few days a week, 250 words a day. It's taken me almost five months to reach this level, and never before in my life have I been able to sustain writing more than 1,000 words a day.

Like all women, the spider with the Australian accent realized that she wanted Quint. She needed Quint. Someone had bought her coconuts and she hated them and needed someone who liked them to eat them.
