NaNoWriMo anyone?
j3nnee:
I managed to fix it where my main character will not die (wasn't going to kill him actually) but the main heroine will find out through another person that's in the same group that she and the main guy end up together and that's why everything happened. It wasn't a mistake atleast that they met. They were both together in separate time streams but her seemingly innocent trip to his possible time made it so that they were meant to leave and go to the one possible time that they can both be on without a conflict. Or something like that... still working out how to get there and have to throw in a fight between now healing hero guy and a rival. Plus the mirror room of possibilties.

Thanks for all the wrist suggestions. One possible problem is where I write--I have one of those slanting laptop desks on rollers that I pull up to my bed so I can write propped up on a couple of pillows. It's comfortable for a few hours, then it starts to play hell with my lower back and sciatic nerves (whine, whine.) I should probably move it into the guest room where I can sit on the futon couch instead (and not bother my SO by keeping the light on at all hours while he's trying to sleep.)

40k, and the good guys have the box and the girl, but one of the werewolves has been killed. *moment of silence for Sean*
I'm so going over 50k for this, but hopefully not more than 60. Next up, the meeting at Kelly Fox's irish pub for a strategy session, then the trip out to Father Christopher's house for the big fight. I'm really very excited about the strategy session because I get to write the following sentence:
"A priest, three werewolves, and two witches walked into a bar."
You gotta take your little pleasures where you can get them.
Since I'm at 2500 words for the day (a smidge less, but still), it's time for lunch and a movie. My reward for doing well, a movie featuring many large explosions and special effects! Yes, 2012 is out in theaters and I can't wait to gawp at it, drooling an obscene mix of Diet Coke, half-masticated popcorn, and Milk Duds. Ah, Saturdays.
Kali:
This is not the holy water/hypothetical corn dog scene, but I amuse me and I'm getting a little punchy. I've realized that if I hit 50k today, then I'll make goal in exactly two weeks. I'm goin' for it.
In the meantime, I crack me up.
Rachel is in the car with Ethan, Fascist Asshole but basically a good guy for all that. He hit the vampire with handfuls of black goop he was pulling from thin air, and Rachel, intrigued, has to ask about it.

I looked over at him. “What was that, anyway? I’ve never seen anything like that stuff you were throwing.”
He scratched at his chin and the whiskers that had grown during the day. “It’s … it’s isn’t. It’s not.”
“Oh. What?”
“It’s the stuff between spaces,” he tried to clarify. “It’s like… Ok, they say that only so much of the universe is solid matter. Most of the universe is actually empty space, the space between molecules. It’s not stuff, it’s not-stuff. That’s the spell, sifting out the not and then throwing it. And when not-stuff hits stuff…” He shrugged.
I stared at him. “Ok, so that actually makes science books weep.”
“I’m sorry, did you or did you not work a spell that sent your consciousness into the past where you tangled with a vampire who left a psychic link in your mind a day into his future?”
“Yes,” I said guiltily.
“Then shut up.”

Ah, humor. You make it worthwhile.
Back to work.

Grin,
Not trying to take your plot, in my case, the story still has two reversals for the "Good Guys tm" and then the MC is rescued by his dog err AI.....
Regards,
Kevin
