FMwSS?

That's right, isn't it? ;-)

I really must learn not to encourage the dwarves, even accidentally...

I'll have to do a word count on some of my stuff, and see how it stacks up!

Speaking of which...I've at least hit 1700 words for today...I think I'm gonna watch an episode.

Probably way beyond! 50k is a pretty short book, but it IS a lot to write in a month if you have lots of other stuff to do in your life. Doable, but it takes some buckling down. Good fer me, I guess!

Good point.

My novel probably weighs in at 75K. The ep I wrote for "Star Trek" I wouldn't even dare try...

Maybe short stories? That's possible.

Yep! That one. The Show With The Cute Shinigami.

I'm actually getting somewhere! Woot! I think I'll write on and off for the next few hours until aforementioned manga finishs downloading. Am at 33,551 and counting.

The actual novels I'm sort of working on, now and then, will be closer to 75k than 50k if they are ever finished. Not sure how long this year's NaNovel will be. I might finish at 50, or not...

Argh, but this is so fascinating - I wish I had found the Hobbit Hole earlier!

Don't worry, we'll never go away...

Hmm. There is a most curious noise, as though my downstairs neighbor were playing a dijeridoo.

I wonder... perhaps it was a train. It was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike the usual sound the train makes but maybe they play a different sound in bad weather or something?

Speaking of bad weather, I just let the dogs out for a few minutes and it's sleeting like crazy out there.

Ick.

I'm almost at 34k and the scene is getting easier, yay.

It's still snowing here. The road is covered... hopefully by the time I go to church tomorrow it will be clear.

Coincidence: the troops down the hallway have their "music" cranked up to seismic levels...

I don't think I can ID it - it's a kind of street music, but there's almost salsa to it...

Oh, so it's almost music, rather than not-at-all music?
