To help us all along,  and inspired by the F*** Yeah Fanfic Flamingo Tumblr   (NSFW) (thanks [livejournal.com profile] draycevixen  and [livejournal.com profile] mikes_grrl ) I've created a little meme generator...

Who better to ask for help with your story than the Controller himself - that's 'Mister' Cowley to you and me. *g*

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!

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:

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)

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.

All I can say is ... I'm glad there are other people with a word count as low as mine is at the moment! I'm not even going to mention the fact that most of mine is also rubbish that will need major rewrites:0
