Welcome.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

yeah, I think everyone knows that I want to read other people's work, but it doesn't matter when no one else has something.

[Mr_Pleasington]

If I didn't have this group project on Wednesdays I'd be there.  My problem is that I'm stymied.  I just can't make myself write anymore...even though I still want to.  I haven't made much progress on my story at all of late, thought its over twice as long as the first draft that was sent out...

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

well, I do know what you mean. I've written like, 1000 words in the last month. That sucks. I keep trying to force myself. Too bad we're not local to each other so we can't gather just to write.

[stacer]

I am interested in starting back up, just not for another week or so. My deadline is March 1, so after that I'll be much freer.

[Mistress of Darkness]

Saint, are you looking for responses to Chapter 8?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

yeah, I suppose I am. Anyone showing up Wednesday?

[stacer]

I will be there. (Yay! I'm done! Whoo hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Yeah, can I tell you how much better I feel today now that it's done? Yeah.

Saint, can you post the link for the manuscript again in case I didn't download the new chapter breaks? I can't remember if I did. I have a lot of catching up to do.

So that makes three, since Kije always shows up. I prefer four. Gemm or MoD showing up tomorrow night?

[stacer]

So do we have enough? I have two options on how to spend my evening, and if we don't have enough people, I can spend it cleaning my room, which I've lost complete track of in the last month. I need to find the floor again! And I need to weed. But if there are enough people I'll spend my evening reading in preparation. Which is it?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I'll be there if we get 3 or more.

KIje and I usually show up, if you show up, and possibly Gemm and MoD... well, that's plenty.

I'll plan on being there for now.

We should have read up to chapter 8 of Peks. No one else has submitted lately.

[stacer]

Okay. Then the house-and-heart cleansing, complete with blasting of loud country music, will be postponed to tomorrow night.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

well, you can still blast country music while chatting with us,... just don't sing to me

[stacer]

Aw, but that would be half the fun!    Plus, it wouldn't all be country music. There'd be disco involved, specifically Gloria what's-her-name's "I Will Survive." That's such a girl-power song. But then, there's also SheDaisy's "Get Over Yourself." That's a fun one, putting me right back in country.  

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

y'know what, unless you want me to counter with Rob Zombie, Morphine, and Eels, don't even go there.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

a few things: next week is Peks 9. Plus something else if someone jumps on it soon and distributes it. I'll be emailing this chapter, as in my manuscript online the chapter has not been completed.

We also talked about moving it up an hour. The reason we do it at 10 is because of MoD, and she hasn't been showing up anyway. Since my body is apparently unhealthy and i'm dead exhausted by 10, I thought we should move it up to 9. If no one objects then that's what we'll do next week. Wednesday at 9pm easter (7 for you Utahns).

Naturally, since MoD can't make it that early, if she says she wants to come, we'll push back to 10 again.

Also, JamPaladin said he might like to join, I told him that would be great.

And finally, you don't have to have a finished story. If you want to talk about some ideas you have and want to solidify, or you're stuck and want help on how to move on, we can talk about those things on Wednesdays too.
