I've just dumped mine onto yet another wonderfully supportive and patient beta reader, and I'm ready to throw myself at the artist side of things once the summaries come out. Am a bit worried that I'm watching Hawaii 5 O right now though, when normally it would be Pros. Are there any tablets I can take?

I'm assuming that My smug face means I'm past 20,000. Yes, that would be so, but the story, she ain't anywhere near done yet.

I did however did get through a pivotal scene yesterday, which made me happy. Now Bodie and Doyle have to unravel the problem!

But H5O is fun, too. You just have to know how to divide your time. ;-D

Oh god I am in so much trouble at this point, still I console myself with the fact there is still time for a miracle and with this:

Oh and love the ones you made, maybe I need some Murphy and Elves in my story :D.

I only have 418 words. *headdesks repeatedly*

Still, thank you very much, Ask Cowley has been a BIG help:

Bwahahaha! I love that 'incentive poster'!

There's always time for a miracle, right up to the last second!

*puts cushion on desk* You won't be able to write at all if you give yourself a headache!

I'm officially very impressed! Wow. Past 20K and not even close to being done?

Go you for presenting the lads with a problem to unravel. ;) Here's hoping they can get it unravelled on time! :D

I think I'm intimidated by your work ethic. ;) Sounds like you have everything well in hand!

Lovely incentive posters... got totally stuck on the mental image the second one gave me!

I've managed to double my previous word count... but before anyone gets too excited, that only puts me at around 3,000 words. *g* I've cleared the deck though, so the next four weeks is going to be solely devoted to my story... mostly. ;) (Just got asked to do some artwork for someone)

Thanks, but don't worry, I've already beaten all of my brains out for the other BB rough draft due *this* weekend.

Well I'm impressed. *salutes you*

My beta-ish read my draft and it's not the utter crap I was thinking! yay.

I'm just south of 60%, which sounds more impressive than mygodihavetowriteanothereightthousandpluswords.

I'm also a little stuck - as I posted on my LJ a couple of days back, "when I explain the plot it sounds actually pretty interesting, but when I try to write it I get stuck" - but I think it's more I need to put it down for a couple of days. It's a three-day weekend here starting tomorrow, so maybe around Sunday / Monday I'll see if I can get some writing done.

I'm pretty sure I'll make the word count. But, considering the characters have really changed since I started, and I'm trying to write rather than revise right now, the first draft is going to be oogly.

Journey - 1,000 miles - one step - grasshopper, etc.

Everybody's got to start somewhere, and you can do it!!!!

And: LISTEN TO COWLEY, YOU KNOW HE'S RIGHT.

I keep trying to snatch the pebble but I'm pretty sure you just painted it on your hand...

There's a large part of my brain that's infamous for settling determinedly on a story I have no business/interest/too much sanity to write... but it won't relinquish my handful of braincells to let them think of something else. So I stall in the vain hope that another... nicer idea might come to me. Hah! Anyway, that's where I am right now.

I normally limit my PWP writing activities and all I can think of when I think of 20,000 words of PWP is poor, exhausted, sore lads.

Yay for your beta being enthusiastic, that's always nice.

When in doubt, I have the lads drink tea. There, I thought you might want a quick tip on how to inject more excitement. Ahem...

The premises would be for me but in another fandom's (very old and forsaken for ages) challenge but the solution wouldn't suit: it's a gen story. My B/C story is going on fine though very, very slowly: if it's ever finished, it will be next year (with some hope).
