    God I am way behind….

  7. Virgil on 5 November 2008, 01:06 said:

    Me too.. but I’m probably going to restart.

  8. Snow White Queen on 5 November 2008, 01:25 said:

    Restart? Then you’d be even FURTHER behind.

    Although, I think it’s more important that you write what you feel…

    I’ve missed two days in a row…bad.
    However, I’m not dead yet, and I hope to make a resurgence throughout the rest of the week. (But who could miss last night!)

    i’ve set my sights on 30,000… i figured i could do 1,000 a day. at this point, its easier than i thought it would be.

  11. Snow White Queen on 5 November 2008, 22:11 said:

    I’m kind of behind but I’m hoping to catch up over the weekend.

  12. Snow White Queen on 8 November 2008, 16:48 said:

    URGH! I just realized that my stupid MS word counter also included the asterisks that I use to divide scenes and PoV switches in my word count, so it shows MORE than I’ve actually written.

    So now I’m probably even more behind than I thought. :(

  13. Rand on 8 November 2008, 17:26 said:

    Just skip lines.

  14. Snow White Queen on 8 November 2008, 18:35 said:

    I do that anyway though.

    Oh well.

  15. Rand on 8 November 2008, 19:22 said:

    how long does it take for a new article to not be pending anymore?

  16. Snow White Queen on 8 November 2008, 19:24 said:

  17. Billy the Kid on 8 November 2008, 20:35 said:
