The Official AmGayDuWriCha Post!
This is the official site of the
First Annual
AmGayDuWriCha
mbiguously Gay Duo Writing Challenge)
This is where Aaron and his trusty sidekick Greg (Yeah, that’s right, I’m the leader bitch…) cum to hang out and show off they’re daily production. From December 1st, 2008 till December 31st, 2008, we are challenging each other to bang out at least a thousand strokes of the keyboard each day.
If a day goes by where you don’t write, it’s your responsibility to come to this official page to explain just why it was you were too fucking busy (read: LAZY) to write on that given day.
The Rules are simple: Put a minimum of 25,000 words on digital paper, creating a story that has a completed Begining, Middle, and End. Unless your story has all 3 of those components, it just don’t count mother fucker.
Is it a Bird? Is it a plane? No - It’s the OFFICIAL RULES!

Official AmGayDuWriCha Contest Rules*
Ambiguously Gay Duo Writing Challenge
· Starting December 1st, you must write 25,000 words in a quasi-literate novella, to be completed by December 31st.
· There will be daily word count updates… (To ensure that even if you aren’t writing, you’re at least making excuses.)
· You can NOT start writing the story until December 1st, but you CAN outline and make as many notes as you want.
· You can’t use a story that’s already started, and just add 25,000 words to it - the novella that you write has to have a beginning, middle and end that was written during the AmGayDuWriCha month.
· The contest isn’t to see who can write 25,000 words first, but rather who can COMPLETE a story first, so while word count has to be a minimum of 25,000, you aren’t done until the Story is DONE!
· While this is a friendly competition and there isn’t a “WINNER”, if you don’t complete the contest, you will be considered a “Pathetic Loser Homo-Fag”…
· If you by some miracle finish your story, with the required minimum word count, before the 20 day mark, it will be assumed that you cheated, and you will be forever considered Gay.
· After the end of the AmGayDuWriCha contest month, stories (completed or not,) will be traded and read, with constructive criticism to be provided. (And only serious, helpful feedback will be allowed, any thoughts that ‘he can’t write for shit’ must be kept to yourself.)
· Winning contestants will have their completed novella Published on the prestigious website, www.Full8Me.com with the author’s byline, and the opportunity to include any illustrations that the author might like to include.
· AmGayDuWriCha contestants will have a forum to discuss their projects, and taunt their competitors online, with the objective of annoying their competitors into either being more productive, or giving up and admitting their homosexuality.
*All Rules are subject to change on a whim, and are only legally binding in Alabama and North Dakota.

This is where we will post our daily writing counts… If I can come up with a better plan, I’ll keep you posted!

Monday morning, December 1st - Don’t wanna brag, but I will!
I just sat down and in 38 minutes, knocked out the first 995 words of the story, finished chapter one!
I’m going to continue writing all day as I can (I’m also working my regular job while doing this, so I can’t promise anything, but shit, I should be able to get at least 2000 words before midnight!)

Well hell. Technically it’s 12:45 AM on Tuesday, but I did all but 500 words of my writing on Monday, so I’m going to count all of it as a First Day Total!
I wrote another 2,237 words from 11PM till now, bringing my grand total for the day to:
3,232 - Eat that mother fucker!

Well, I only wrote from 6:30 to 8:00 PM today, so I didn’t get as much done… It’s a little after 10 now, but I’ve been watching my programs and I doubt I’ll do any more writing for the day, so I’m gonna call my official Day Two Word Count as a paltry 2,567.
Grand total to date: 5799

OFFICIAL DAY THREE WORD COUNT
All right, let the excuses begin…
Like I said, I was sure that I my prolific writing would start to decline as the days wore on. That’s exactly what happened today. I didn’t even start to write until after 10PM, and at first I tried to write while the Victoria’s Secret Modeling show was on. I had it on mute, but apparently even silent snatch in panties and push-up bras is enough to distract me!
Around 10:30 I turned off the TV and got down to business, (jerked off) and then I started really writing… I wrote all the way up till Midnight exactly, which is when I realized I was out of gas, and had no idea where to go next in the story.
So, today is my least productive day so far, but I feel that I have heartily defended my reasons, and will now share my grand total for the day. My Day Three Official Word Count is: 1,919. That puts my Grand Total at 7,718 words so far.
If I can keep this pace up, I should have the minimum word count of 25,000 done in 10 days. Whether I’ll have a finished story by then is another thing altogether.
So, it’s your turn to tell the tale of the ticker. What’s your word count bitch? (I haven’t forgotten that you neglected to give a count for yesterday, thereby indicating your homosexual tendencies…)

Well, once again my numbers today aren’t stellar, but what is impressive is that I wrote more than half of them while watching The Office, 30Rock, and House on the big screen TV that is literally only 18 inches away from my face!
Just goes to show: you can shovel shit while doing anything!
Tonight I finished chapter 5, and this chapter included both Starbucks coffee and golden showers! A couple of my favorite things.
Anywho, the Official Day Four Word Count is: (drum roll please…) 2,120, which brings my Grand Total to date to: 9,838. Not too bad if I do say so myself…

OFFICIAL DAY FIVE WORD COUNT
I was going to go out tonight, maybe go to a nice upscale bar to try to socialize (Kim’s suggestion, and not a bad one,) but instead I stayed home and watched a Survivorman marathon while writing Chapter Six.
My neighbor in the duplex is having another redneck Hoedown in the driveway, with a big bonfire, and all the neighbors standing around talking about Garth Brooks or Dale Earnhardt or shooting stuff. I could be out there, pretending to be one of them, but I figured I’d rather stay inside by myself, banging away on my keyboard, churning out talentless drivel.
Speaking of which, I was able to shit out a respectable amount of poo yet again. Technically I still have half an hour of writing time tonight, but I finished a chapter, and don’t know exactly where it’s going next (I think I’m going to be hanging out in a strip club soon, in the story, not in real life… I’d never be caught dead in one of those places personally…) I might start up again, but I’m also thinking about watching a movie, so I figure I’ll just call it quits for Day Five.
So, on to the Official Day Five Word Count: — 2,984 ( I tried to squeeze out another 16 words, but I just couldn’t find a place to stick them in the chapter, and I didn’t want to start a new one.)
This brings my Grand Total to Date to: 12,822 – I’m officially half way! (Unfortunately, even though I’m half way on the word count, I’m probably only barely a third of the way there in the story. I figure I have a minimum of 12 more chapters just to get to the big finale. – If I’m not careful, I might end up with a full length novel – 70,000+ words. I’m on target for 80k words at my current pace, and if I can keep this steam up, I don’t see why I can’t do it. Of course, I just know that any day now I’m going to peter out and die…)

OFFICIAL DAY 6 WORD COUNT
Oh, The irony… I started writing early today (around 6PM, with the idea that I could get more done, and then maybe even go out on the town…) well, not only didn’t I get more done, I did the least amount of writing so far, AND I DID NOT go out on the town… I’m a LOSER!
I think I’m becoming an anti-social recluse… But I’m going to try to force myself to go to Denny’s in the morning for breakfast. I haven’t been there in over 2 months. (It’s now a 12 mile, 20+ minute drive to get there from my new place in the boonies.)
Enough babble, on to the Official Day 6 Word count: 1,389 – I know, pathetic for me… So, that brings my Grand Total to : 14,211.
I really am going to try to step it up a little, since I only did half a chapter today, and I stopped writing before the three way lap dance with Zoe and Meshan the strippers! (Remember them?)
So what’s going on, I haven’t heard from you with a word count since like Day 3?? Don’t even tell me you have a life, I know that ain’t true!!
