Go ahead and put me down for Monday.  :)  It's the second first draft of a short story I wrote a while ago.  The first first draft was little more than a glorified outline, and now I've fleshed it out quite a bit.

Ach! I was waylaid by an English paper. I feel like an idiot because I canceled out last time, but hows about next week? *ducks*

Wait, what? You put writing for RE, writing fiction, to the side over an English paper?

I hope to have the prologue and first chapter of my book written by Monday and ready to submit.

Signing up for Monday.
I've already conquered the world. This is exactly the way I want it.

Due to the high volume traffic, I'm going to have to ask that my name be removed as a reader, at least for the time being.

Thanks,
It was fun,
Renoard
You can always get what you want if you never count the cost.

Uh, I'd like to remind everyone to adjust their submissions fields. My email filters the submissions and automatically saves the attachments using strings from the subject field, and I'm getting some submissions that do not even include the string "Reading Excuses", making the emails hit my normal inbox. Others just hit the folder without the date or username, which is less annoying, but still a bother.

Reading Excuses - [username] - [date] - [title] ([content tags])
If I were to submit today, the subject would look like this:
Reading Excuses - sortitus - Sep. 4, 2009 - Deimos (LS)

Yes, that's been annoying me slightly, too. Also people, remember to name your submission files in exactly the same manner, just without the "Reading Excuses" part.

While I'm nitpicking. Erik. Lordy. Please post here when you're planning to submit, okay?
