NaNo wordcount, after an extremely productive day, now stands at 13232, almost two day's worth ahead of the par. Total wordcount stands at 19031.

I was informed by one of my betas that they were still upset over a character death a full day after reading that section.

It appears I'm doing something right...



The sad thing is, I found myself trying to invent another character to stand in for and thus save the one that got perished, but then I realized they'd have to be just as likable and engaging for it to still matter.

Yes, and some of us are still miffed, PG.

AG - be careful what you post where in this section.
We're not suppose to post original ideas where JB might run into them
unknowingly and without warning.  You might inadvertently use an idea JB wants to use and
then he'd have to not use that idea because there would be no way to
prove that he had that idea first.

TWO!  MWAH HA HA HA HAH!  Didn't realize it had hit you too.  Now I just need to figure out how to give the Shecky a sad...

[Snowleopard]

Good luck on that one - oh illustrious master of snark.
I'll just observe from that bunker.....waaaay over there behind the blast shield and the force field.

You didn't have to take it out, TAG.
You could just have put it in spoilers.
Sorry, wasn't meaning to rain on your parade.

Do you need anymore Betas Payne? I'd be happy to help if you do, if not then no biggie

I'm pretty well set at the moment, the one's I've got keep plenty on my plate as far working in their edits and the feedback goes.  When I get the first draft completed and am looking for more eyes on content/storyline/flow then I'll keep you in mind though!

(My betas are also kind enough to act as poor man's editors, pointing out those types and broken thing senteccebroken thing senteccbroken thing sentences that crop up.  THANKS, GUYS!)

"...and I snorted it sometime in 1967."

It was a literary allusion; I was actually born in 1973 so I'm not as much older than you as taking that comment literally would imply.  (Nor am I in the habit of snorting things. Caffeine and sugar are pretty much my limits as mind-altering substances go.)

[cenwolfgirl]

that makes you... 39?
i might shut up now

glade to know your a sugar and caffeen junky

[the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh]

that makes you... 39?

indeed. And I have a stepson who already has the "making me feel like an old fogey" thing totally nailed down, thanks. (Sweet tentacled gods, he's six years older than you.)

[cenwolfgirl]

you give us strait lines ... if you exspect me not to take them... well then you need a brain check

DING...SMACK...YEOUCH!!
You have just been hit by the age Fairy, Neuro.
Welcome to maturity.

Kids have a way of doing that without even trying.
