Sorry, I've been flaky about posting numbers lately.  I've had to work on ELANTRIS a little bit, so I haven't been steady with my new writing.  I'm around 8k somewhere--I'll catch up next week.

Well I am sitting a little bit more comfortably on 6051 words. Sadly enough, this is almost as much as I have ever written on a story. I have been writing for years, and on the story that I got the farthest on, I got a few more words than on this one. I am pretty proud of the way this story is coming along.

I wrote about 10 words today.  And why?  Because I was researching.

I think maybe I'm missing the point of this whole thing.   ;D

What were you researching for?

No, it's more of a weeding program. To test and see those who can write for days and days and days, and words and words and words, to those who can start words and words for some time until they faulter off.

I wrote about 80 words yesterday. Trying to figure out a couple problems. Think I have them down, so I should be able to move ahead now.

How did Prom's count go down? I know he didn't work on anything yesterday, but he didn't delete anything either.

Day Seven: 7990.  Doing slightly better.  

Archon: I was doing some research on nautical terms.  My characters spend a good portion of the book on a ship, and I realized that although I know alot about ships, I don't know quite enough.  Unfortunately I haven't been able to find the information I need online, and the people at Barnes and Noble couldn't think of a book with the information I need.  I think I've found an out-of-print Eyewitness Book online that should help.  I'm all about children's reference books, because they don't take quite so much brain power to understand.  Hooray for the juvenile section.  

But anyway.  So yeah.

MsFish, ask Mad Dr Jeffe. Seriously. He's in the Coast Guard and has spent a huge chunk of that time on a ship. He can definitely help. Looks like your pace is picking up! good job!

Day 7 numbers up.

Is Jeffe looking at this thread?  If you are, I have some questions for you.

You might want to make a "Hey Jeffe" thread in "everything else" or something like that. Or refer to his AIM name in his profile.
