    Good idea my mum writes like a woman possessed. I never thought of that.

    Or ... uh - stab your sister and pull a few 10K days/nights? :p

    Urgh. My writing is BLOODY TERRIBLE at the moment. If my MC's life wasn't so boring, I'd feel inclined to wake her up from this crappy dream sequence, but that would mean the dream would have served NO PURPOSE WHATSOEVER, and as my plot hasn't started yet, it desperately needs dodgy dream scenes to make things happen!

    WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

    Edit2: Right, given up for the night just short of 45000 words because my MC was threatening to have plot ninjas rock up and kill her (not in text mind you)
    She did, however, tell me to get to the plot within the novel, which is really, really crap. And yeah...

    I hate myself and want to die.

    Of course they were! Apparently Poetic Dude steals a jar of pickled eggs every time he visits that place, and he now has an enourmous pyramid of them :p

    I'm almost embarassed to say...*casts eyes downward*...2505 words.

    I guess life just got in the way of writing. I think I'll stick to short stories.

    I stopped at exactly 50000 - methinks I'll continue on sometime later in December. Or maybe wait until January ... or March or something...

    I didn't make it past the mark Aik set, I stopped on it and left it there. I'll continue it and finish it sometime though and post it on the boards :)
