Right then.

Sooooo I had a sex scene I'd been putting off and putting off and putting off writing because I hate writing them. And I thought, I know! I will use it as tonight's 750words.com words, because that keeps me on task and makes me keep writing.

And, okay, I got the scene written! It's pretty first-drafty and a little elliptical, but it's the scene that needed writing, more or less...





...I feel like I may need to do some editing. (Topics that did not come up on the topic analysis include "Relationships", which is sort of alarming, but on the bright side also "Death", which I get nearly every time.)

...But you wrote it! That's good, right?

[dira]

Yes! Writing is good! Fixing it is what betas are for. :)

[iadorespike]

Wow, I know a few people writing the 750 words daily, but I didn't know that the site would do this. Analysis of the words...who'd have thunk it? :)

I'm glad you didn't get "Death" in your sex scene analysis. ;)

[dira]

Oh, yes, all this and more! Also word clouds, graphs of typing speed, assorted other writing analyses comparing e.g. your use of swear words, adverbs, and negation to the average of people on the site, and little animal badges for length-of-writing-streak and a few other accomplishments, like not getting distracted while writing your 750.

It is, in short, all the enticement a nerd girl needs to keep writing every day, even if it keeps her up past bedtime. Er, at least for me.

And, right? Because I got Death in the scene where there was baby-cuddling and quiet conversation, and that was bad enough.

A winner is you!

And the editing is the fun part :)

[dira]

You would say that. :)

But, yes! Written! \o/

oooh, thanks for the heads-up re 750words.com -- it is just nagging enough to get me writing! And I love the stats (though am disappointed that my own bit o' smut only scored PG13)

[dira]

Yay! I am loving the site.

And, hmmm, maybe they have a weird rating algorithm for sex scenes, then. I haven't been able to get it above PG-13 either.

[gloriamundi]

Have written 760 words of P0RN and still only PG! What am I doing wrong? <g>

Four days in a row now. Thank you for posting about this site!

[dira]

HA! I got it up to NC-17 tonight. I guess with "cock" as the fourth most-used word you can get there eventually? *g*
