I solve this problem by not writing a book and masturbating.
At the same time‽
Yes. It is very easy to masturbate while not writing.
Easy for you to say. I struggle with this.
I’ll send you a pamphlet.
Bro. I swear to god me, you, and a user called “the piccard manoeuvre” are like the only three users on here.
Like I see y’all everywhere. I had discussions with you in many places at this point.
Only 3 users? Don’t you count us lurkers out, we’re here too. We’re always here… always.
It just I notice those other names a heck of a lot.
I have a lot of free time at the moment, although that’s going to end next year.
Will you still have time to masturbate while not writing?
I hear you can save a lot of time by writing Lemmy comments while masturbating.
What happens next year?
You don’t have to share. Just curious is all.
The Picard manoeuvre is everywhere, don’t know if I’ve ever seen you guys.
I’m here too, as well as VikingHippie
Some of the meme gods of !risa@startrek.website will grace other communities with their fire hose of content.
So that’s your trick, you write pamphlets instead of book, I see. I’ll try that next time
Impossible, i’ve tried so hard and still wrote at least a 3 pages story
Or you could solve it by nut writing a book. Make it a two birds, one stone thing, but more like “many nuts, one book”
whats with the book writing thing? First I’m hearing about it.
its called NaNoWriMo
Nah, not writing month
I’m so dam good at that challenge.
Does anyone actually do any those challenges? I always thought it was a joke.
A lot of people do No Shave November, I assume anyone who says they do No Nut November is joking and I’ve never heard of the book one until now
The communities for both of those challenges are so far apart that I doubt anyone does both.
Does anyone actually do either though?
Can confirm, at least one person has done NNN and no shave november. It’s really easy, you just have to not do a thing and you’re set

I’m doing no shave and trying to grow a beard. It’s not going very well lol, it looks like shit
It takes at least a month to get past the itchy and scraggly stage into something dignified.
Why are you guys doing this to yourselves?
Masochists

But I am.
NaNoWriMo? It’s a push to get that writing project out of your brain and onto paper, it’s super helpful for some people just to have something telling them to do the thing.
NNN? Test of self control. “I can quit any time I want” is something addicts say when they can’t quit any time they want. It’s also super easy; if it feels like masochism to not nut for more than a week, you’re addicted.
No shave november? Pure, unadulterated laziness.

I know I know. Not a lot of synonyms that start with N

Didn’t know about the novel one, but I already forgone NNN when doctors said it was bullshit.
National Novel Writing Month, often abbreviated NaNoWriMo, is an annual event encouraging people to finally write that novel they’ve always said they would. The goal is to write 50K words during the month. There are usually meet ups, writing workshops, and other gatherings so participants can encourage each other, share ideas, and generally have fun being part of a thing.
Edit to add: The “nation” is the USA I’m assuming. I’m in the USA and have only heard of it being a US thing. Presumably if you live somewhere else and want to write a book in November, the various online communities would be glad to have you though.
Great now I have to write a 50k word novel in 82 minutes.
You got this bro, I believe in you!
Some ridiculous percentage of all currently publishing novelists in the US have an MFA in literature or creative writing or something similar. If this makes you feel a little suspicious about how the publishing industry actually works, it should. It’s very much a closed ecosystem that’s all about recycling the tried and true and that is highly risk averse in terms of straying from the norm. This is why it’s almost impossible for “regular” people to get a novel published unless they self-publish.
Since when do you have to write a 50k novel?
They’re talking about National Novel Writing Month (aka NaNoWriMo) which is November.
Also, 50k words is pretty short for a novel. It’s more of a novella.
Millennial problems
So is self-flagellation, if you’re into self-denial and masochism. Make of that statement what you will.
That doesn’t sound like self-denial. What are you denying? That sounds like an indulgence.
Illuminating manuscripts on vellum November
Why do Americans ruin everything?
It’s not no shave November is Movember. Moustaches for Novemeber. Optional sideburns but they can’t touch the moustache. Just like the cool old timers. It’s been very clear when this started what the rules were.
And it isn’t about doing it as a challenging it’s about raising awareness and money for testicular cancer.
