3,000 words to go (I'm thinking sex. LOTS of sex..)

[norfolkdumpling.livejournal.com]

When in doubt...SEX. Yes. I approve :D

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking sex. LOTS of sex..

Good plan, just make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to write as well *g*

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

Well of course, lots of sex. I approve.

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Would that then be a PWP? *g*

[msmoat.livejournal.com]

4000 words to go, but that's close enough to the 2000 "doable" to be doable! Pity there's not anther weekend, though... Of course, I could just follow callistosh65's strategy! Yes. Yes, I may just do that....

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

I shall be thinking of you and sending doable vibes.

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

You're in the groove! put in lots of description of the lads and the word count just piles up. ;-D

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Yes! Go you!

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

Getting there, as in still 3,000 light. Fri-Sun are due to be RL busy... so er, that leaves tomorrow *insert Inspector Dreyfus eye twitch here*

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

Sing the Annie song--Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow....

Ooo, I have an icon to match yours.

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

But that's close enough for the draft, isn't it? Just scrabble together an outline for the rest and Robert's your uncle!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Love the poll. I'm going with the wine and kittens route.

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

Hey, put kittens in your story! Hee hee, yours must be all written, i's crossed and t's dotted.

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

As long as you don't dunk the kittens IN the wine. ;)

[przed.livejournal.com]

I have a rough draft! Or at least I've got 14,000 words and a vague outline of the remaining mumblety-mumble words to come. Now I've just got to work on that pesky summary.

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

I have the opening to a song from My Fair Lady in my head now--"words, words, words, I'm so sick of words, I get words all day through, first from him now from you..."

Tossing in song lyrics always helps with word counts.

[marjorammax.livejournal.com]

All done, just waiting for comments from second beta on a couple of things.

I'm sending positive vibes to everyone - and remember, if all else fails, go with callistosh65 plan. :)

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! And more sex can never hurt.

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

I'm at a (for me) remarkable 13,000 words, but my time line is screwed. And the more I read/write, the more screwed it gets! Aaarrrghh!!!

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

That's what messes me up quite often, as well. Got to write out a calendar or time line diary.

Good luck!

[murphybabe]

I can't do the %*£")&^! summary! I've got enough words for the rough draft, but what happens in it? It would take another 2,000 to tell you!

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

Bodie does this(blank), Doyle does that (blank)--leave the rest to our imaginations. heeheee. You can do it!

[saintvic.livejournal.com]

Okay so I may not be writing but I can not resist ticky boxes and I figured a malt and a ticket to the Bahamas is always good.

Oh and baby animals *flails*.

*waves pom poms encouragingly for everyone*

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

I'd like to go to the Bahamas right now... it's bloody cold here! :(

[halotolerant.livejournal.com]

11,000 words, looking pretty OK except I decided I needed to take it apart and put it back together again, so it's less, um.... comprehensible than it was. But, you know, there's enough words at least *clings to brightside*

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

LOL You had bits left over, didn't you. *g* That always happens when you take something apart to fix it and then put it back together. I'm sure you'll get it sorted by the time September rolls around.

[margaret-r.livejournal.com]

I'm over the draft limit and have a summary - which I have been assured actually makes sense - so I guess I'm looking okay there. The outline for the rest of the story is a probably a bit wobbly though :P

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you're well on track. That's great!

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

The rough draft is done... the first round of (major) edits are done... should only be one more round of minor edits and then I should be all done and dusted. I'm feeling pretty chuffed with myself at the moment. *g*

[maddalia.livejournal.com]

You should be! Good for you! :D

[maddalia.livejournal.com]

I've got 10 000 words, I just want to finish one more chapter before I send. That's one less I have to outline, then. So, as long as the outlining doesn't make my brain explode, I'll be OK!

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

I have no idea how to vote on that poll. :O

I have enough words to send in, but my story isn't finished. I had hoped to write really quickly and have it done in time, but real life things are making that look questionable. :(

I've written a summary. I hope it will fit the story perfectly by the time it's done!! Well, I have a bit of time yet to tweak and hopefully write a few more scenes....
