So, then, BB-ers: it's the end of March. How goes it?

Has Bodie had a chance to show himself as talk, dark, and engagingly modest?

Has Doyle gotten his expense chits reimbursed yet?

Has Cowley castigated the two of them for wasting good scotch?

Or are you letting the creative juices bubble a bit? :D

Inquiring minds want to know!

I got through the really difficult section and have now come to the big wall (not like Trump's)of how to resolve a major impasse between our lads.

So true. They are both very strong willed - - some would say stubborn. The real trouble is they make think the same, but they don't want to say it. Thanks for the note.

After having read many of your stories, I know your 100 words will be the opening to a great story. I just wish the wall wasn't so formidable. Two macho men who can't just come out with it. Thanks for writing.

Those boys! They'll work it out or fur will fly! LOL!!! I like a nice meaty story so write faster! Oh wait. I have to wait until October! *cries*

It's true 'cause October seems so far away, I certainly hope the impasse doesn't last until then, but our lads are stubborn. Thank you for taking the time to write.

Ah right, yes. An update! Weeeell, my lads haven't actually even met each other yet. Doyle has had a challenging encounter on the first page. Cowley has been very Scottish and unimpressed with him on the second page. Doyle's gone to the pub on the third page. There are no more pages.

But what will happen on page four? Sage bartender? Talking dog? Long-lost sibling?

I'm so excited to read your story! *bounces* There isn't enough JoJo fic in the world.

I'm agreeing with [livejournal.com profile] sc_fossil - there can never be enough JoJo fic.

Research! I'd completely forgotten how much I love research... um, that's pretty much all I've done in the last few days, and it'll be about three sentences come the final product. But wheeee! \o/

As far as the actual fic goes... Anyone else have problems with them bickering interminably? Bodie is about to strangle Doyle, and Cowley will murder the both of them if he ever catches up. *g*

Heh, research is fun! And so is bickering! And your comment reminds me of a meme that amuses me on twitter, in which the punchline is always "and then the murders began." :D

LOL - I'm a bit worried the research is all I'm going to write, but hey!

"and then the murders began."

I can totally relate to that *hg*

I'd love to do research with you, you snoggly little minx. Yes, we're having a bit of a pickle in my tale also.

LOL - I get so messy when I start digging into old newspapers and such. Newsprint and coffee everywhere! Meanwhile - pickle? Not the gherkin sort I hope? *blows kisses*

Thank you! I got totally diverted by the research, but oh my goodness, it's been fun - even if nobody else ever spots any of it!

Good luck with yours too - my pompoms are so excited! *\o/*

Waiting for news from Australia... Hope the lads haven't been blown away in the cyclone.

I think she's fine. Her daughter was in Debbie's projected path but she wasn't. As for the lads, see her comment.

It was a near thing, Debbie - the hussy - nearly took off with Doyle, but of course Bodie saved him.

In the meantime things are slowly progressing and you might get further news in the foreseeable future (you will notice I'm not committing myself) ;)

So I've finally put some words in order. I'm over the minimum so I'm happy. I said I wouldn't write a long story and I have refused to do so. Maybe. I also have not met my deadline of having my rough draft finished by March 31. I have one more scene to write and I have no desire to write more today. So maybe I will change it to April 2. *bg*

Oh, look at you with nearly all your words (even if not in the entirely right order *g*). I'm so impressed... um, a rough draft finished? Erm... I may need to pull my finger out here *g*

Happy writing - you sound like you're on top of things. \o/

I admit I had no idea when I signed up and suddenly, there it was, for better or worse. It's a crazy-arsed thing but it's all mine!

Thought I had a good idea...got about 5000 words in (not all connected *g*) and now I'm not so sure about the whole thing.
I hate it when the muse goes on holiday!

I promised myself this year that I'd be more active in these weekly posts - two weeks since I've last checked in.
Whoops.

Well... uh, I have scrapped the first idea and am now back at 389 words.

*Shakes fist at plotbunnies and desperately feeds them carrots.*

At least my research has become more enjoyable, though!
