No, that's in November. I'm just writing. I've neglected my writing horribly lately, and I decided to kick myself into gear over the long weekend. It worked! I've written close to 15k of words. My story should be half-done in a week or so, since I don't think I can keep this pace up much longer.

Of course, it'll take about seven years to edit into what I want it to be.

I give you my admiration!! I am waiting on my sis-in-law to come down because she wants to write as well, and we hope to use each other as muses. She has a few ideas for some comedy books and I need someone who would be willing to be my sounding board while I try to talk myself out of some of the tangles I have created. You sound like you have the same problem i do with narrative and description : I hear the conversations a lot better than seeing the imagery I want the reader to see.

And I am largely kerflempt because it seems like no matter what I devise, someone says "oh yeah, that's in LOTR as well, isnt it?" ARGH!!

Anyway, I wish you good luck on your writing!
