Novel in a month

[Mistress of Darkness]

Yeah, mostly FHE group leaders, only you only have to have FHE once a month, and it doesn't have to be on Mondays. We're also part of the ward activities committee.

Well, lunch was a success. I wrote approx. 500 words which is not 1,200, but is still a good contribution. I think I enjoy writing earlier in the day more than in the evening, but that might be a suprious conclusion, since I always enjoy lunch, and I don't spend very long on my writing (only about 45 mins). I'm looking forward to the Thanksgiving holiday to test this hypothesis, even though Fell will be using the laptop.

Thanks SE for telling all us uninitiated what those things are. Like YW or a FHE leader. People nowadays sure don't like to take the time to explain themselves nowadays.

[Mistress of Darkness]

YW= Young Women. The acronym refers to the Young Women organization in the LDS church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints).

FHE = Family Home Evening. Family Home Evenings is designated for Mondays and LDS church leaders encourage all families to set this day aside to spend with family. The event should include a spirtual lesson, and refereshments are just as manditory. Singles wards will often organize FHE "groups" and "group leaders" (often called FHE Mom & Dad) to provide this activity for students who are far from home.

Stairwell leader.

That has to be the most amusing thing I've heard today.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

Yes, I was not only amused but bemused. Hey Saint, wherever you found these mp3's of old cartoon theme's and stuff remade, they kick the bottom out from underneath me.

uhh.... what?

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

I have written 0 words today.

I blame the children.

[Fellfrosch]

Thanks to a lost day yesterday, I had to write 3500 stinking words today--and did it, coming in with a total of 19,520. If I push myself I can hit the halfway mark by Friday, definitely by Saturday, which is pretty scary considering that I'm not halfway through my story. I guess we'll see--a lot can happen in 5500 words.

[Mistress of Darkness]

Wapazah! I did it 2,500! Of course this is the stupidest rescue ever because everything is very convinient, but I don't have time to brainstorm when I'm supposed to be churing out words.

I am also starting to feel the need to plan. I figure I can spend the last 5k words or so on the final battle, and I think I'm going to have to skip a big block of time toward the end of my story since she starts out a beginner and has to be a master by the end so that she can beat the bad guy.

I am so exhausted.

Sorry about the word count Saint.

[EUOL]

Mark me down for 1,654.

Heh.  Kids are no excuse, SE!  

(Which obviously means a whole lot, coming from the guy without any.)

Anyway, you're down by 500 or so now.   You'd better have a good day tomorrow!

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

MoD: give me a total word count so I can update you.

EUOL: more like 400 ish, but yeah, Intend to bust some hump today.

[Mistress of Darkness]

Lazy bum. I sent you the file. Can't you run word count on your own?

Current word count: 13,856

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

I never received a file. So, no, I can't just run word count on it.

[Mistress of Darkness]

Hmm, that's different. I'll try sending it again.

Thanks.

Let me know if you get it?

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

I will. I'll try to check my personal email a little later today. I don't often see it at work and I don't have FTP access here, so it won't be uploaded till tonight.
