Yeah, well, something in the ocean would eat it. Maybe.

My goal is also to be at 25k by Monday. Hopefully, that will happen, though it'll involved writing 11k this weekend.

Hmmm... sounds like you need a plot complication to me. Although when your story starts writing itself, to me that's a good sign. Means you're doing something right.

Ok, bus time! I managed 250 words this morning, should I feel happy?

Well...I do have something of a plot complication, in that I planned to have her meet kinda the classic romantic lead character - tall, dark and handsome and a bit serious. But then a little goofball of a guy showed up at the laundromat (thanks to the Hobbit Holers) and I think he's the right one. Right now she thinks he's incredibly annoying, though, mostly because he keeps getting in the way of her efforts to meet Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome.

But I'm discovering just how truly lousy I am at writing romance of any kind, even the innocent stuff. I just haven't done it - guess this is good practice in that way! But I don't like my character very much right now. She's not been very nice to her true Mr. Right.

250 words in a sitting ain't bad! 11k in a weekend, though...whew! I don't think I could do it!

I still want a keyboard for my PDA...I think I could get a lot more done away from the computer. But I have other stories waiting in the wings, so if and when I get that, it'll be nice to have.
