1111 words last night; conincidence, but a nifty one. Nice to have my groove back to some extent; that would be a bad Friday/Saturday's writing, but it's good for a weeknight when I have to stop so that i will be awake for work the next day.
Also, it takes the total wordcount on this project over 490,000.

Thanks,
What made it move fast was having a good "Road Map" of what I wanted to tell as a story before the mmonth started. Basicly a list of chapter haedings and a few things that need to come out in that chapter. The hardest writing was for connecting chapters, and the easyest was the stuff I was intrested in...
excerpt,
Set up, Case is an AI but not too bright, think of a Collie Lab cross.

"We'll yes, but I think you'd look better as a representative of the Conclave." Came the computer's reply.
"I understand, but wearing a Conclave of Planets uniforms might confuse the local militia. After all, I only belong to the Militia." Came Keru's patient reply.
"If you say so.
By the way, boss, what's a bumper?" Asked the computer.
"In one application Case? I can think of four or five things that are called bumpers." Responded Keru.
The computer display wavered and changed, it now showed several rectangles with slogans imprinted on them.
"It's for these, they are called bumper stickers, we can put them on our bumper! If we have a bumper." Came the bright reply of the computer.
"I'm afraid we don't have a bumper Case." Said Keru.
Keru thought furiously, if I'm not careful. I'll have a ship covered with stickers.
"Boss? How you make a bumper?" Asked Case.
Regards,
Kevin
