That qualifies for ragging brights, if not the other.

Running out of ink 500 pages into a 700 page manuscript makes that less likely in the short term..

Tonight I get my ducks in a row and start a trial run of 2000 words a day for the next month and a half. Just to see if I can do it.
Out these efforts should come a short story followed by a Novel.
Time to put those 50+ pages of notes to good use.

Good hands, nimble fingers and clean shotguns to ya.
Madd:
I've been collecting my thoughts/making notes since about '98-'99. Right now I've got two major things stopping me from making headway on writing:
1) This is the BIG reason for my struggles. Try as I might, I cannot turn my notes/thoughts into STORIES. Things turn out sounding more like a bloody history book. At best it reads as a narrative. Boring, and uninteresting stuff. The good news is that this hasn't gotten me down, I know I'm capable of better work than this, for some reason I'm just stumbling.
2) Most of my word processing time is spent on college right now. I'm finishing up a masters, one that blends business and chemistry, so in addition to having to switch my brain back and forth, I also have to write a helluva lot. I wrote 4-5k words this weekend, from friday-monday. In addition to that, I spent many many hours doing research and reading textbooks :( All of this was school related, not a lick was for fun, or in pursuit of my own writing.
By the time I sit down to type I am severely burned out. I don't even have the energy to play video games, let alone type something coherent and meaningful. Despite all that, I still lay up at night with my ideas bouncing around inside my head. A lot of you have more on your plates than I do, how do you do it?
