This will help your tender ego:  I've been throwing up all day long, and can hardly sit up for more than five minutes.  I haven't even thought about my book.
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.

It's easy to write 1200 words on one thing. It's a little more difficult to write 50,000 about one thing.

Well, it also helps that he has the book to refer to things also. And we instead have to pick and choose, rip and pluck, and tenderize all from the inside dwellings of our mind.

So next time you do that review of yours Sprig, do it from the top of your head without using anything from the thing your reviewing. Then try and get 1200 words. =P

You plan what you're going to do while DMing EUOL? But yes, tomorrow night should be good. I get to impress Pat with my creativity with creating the goofiest of characters possible. Plus the awesome voice talent I provide to them.

Ick.  I'm only at 4039.  That means I've written like 700 words in the last two days.  Everytime I try to write, someone has a crisis (like literally).  Alas, people are more important than my word count, so it's taking a beating.  

Hopefully tomorrow will go better.

I'm only at 7214 at the moment. Hopefully I can get a little writing energy boost sometime today.

well, everyone was pokey with getting their numbers in, so I'm doing it right now. I"ll take that number Prom gave as his to-date total.

because I forgot that your evenings are in my morning, so that you had posted your day 4 stats before I'd posted the calendar for day 3
I'll fix it.

edit:
There. I fixed it. Happy?

You know the above was just an excuse. I really left you off because I hate you.

You got my count right, Saint Ehlers. I was going by your standard, but looking back at the post, I phrased it poorly. I threw that up right before I ran out of work, so I guess I didn't consider exactly what I was putting down too closely. I have 8172 total.

Excuse me for the double post, but I need to beat my self-editor down some more.

*BAM!*

Thank you. Let's proceed from there.

let's hear it for minesweeper and chatting! I came up with a brilliant idea while doing just that. MoD kept me just on target enough to have my new character (y'know, the one that became immortal on me) on the periphery of my mind, but minesweeper freed me enough to wander with it. Brilliant new idea. He fits in even better now, and it adds a new layer of complexity. go me!

I love it when that happens in writing or whatever else. Over 500 words so far today, although I wasn't certain where I was going to go with things when I came to work today...I need to do some more plotting work on this soon and figure out exactly how what I've done so far will fit into the rest of the story concept.
