Is your nano word count four digits?
I'll list the actual count once I hit 5 digits.
Hopefully, that'll be this weekend!
Well I'm rooting for you. I've really come to love my story (the mechanics of it are crummy) but its been a great stress release lately.
Or... you could just sit on it while you shower.
Tough since there's no shower in that bathroom. I just don't like it staring at me.
Talon vetoed that idea pretty thoroughly.
Aw, geesh. Well...here's hoping something grand comes your way!
I'd like to read yours when its done. I think I've said that. ;-)
Mine...well, I'm still writing around a huge plot hole, and it's still wayyyyy too big for its britches. If/when I rewrite, I'm thinking of removing one of two first person perspectives entirely (amnesia chick).
I am slogging slowly past the action. About three days behind now I think. But I am about a quarter way through the story, plot wise. Not sure it'll be a quarter word-count-speaking.
There ought to be something interesting to do with it, perhaps even in place. Maybe with some dry ice just before company comes over.
Evenin' folkses...

Well, my place is clean. Property manager inspected. The week is over, and I didn't kill the sox auditors. yet. But it was close.
I really need to finish mine up. And now that the end is near, I dunno how. Plus I still haven't figured out motivation for certain amnesia chick actions. And I don't want to write her character anymore, so I haven't. Originally, she told half and the main guy character told the other half. At this point, she's told about...ten percent, and he's told the rest. Which makes me wonder if her part is even worth bothering with or if it'll just confuse the final product, if there ever is one.
The week is over.
And that's all I wanna say about that.

You had an inspection eh? That would make me feel a little like a kid again... haven't had my room inspected since high school. My landlord hasn't even been here once since I moved in 6 years ago. :~)
Been meaning to ask you.... would you like to come up for Thanksgiving at the beach house, or have you gotten an invite from that brother of yours?... time flies and it's next week!

My characterization is off. Waaaay off. It'll take a fair bit of editing before I'd be brave enough to let anyone read it.
...Sister-in-law said "We're going to my sister's for Thanksgiving. Guess you could come if you wanted."
I suppose I should probably take them up on it.
It's awfully hard to stay consistent. For me, anyhow.
And the whole story is now over 112k. :-\ Most of which is useless frap.
