I got caught up in shopping and gardenwork on Sunday, and mired in my own defeat on Monday, and then this afternoon, Tuesday, I wrote 3213 words, still short of catch-up by a shed-load (and those words were rehashing of prior ideas I'd had).

Still, "Onward!", as they say.

Cheers,
Marc

And still better than no words at all (plus you've written more than me...)

I'm not doing well for numbers (just 900) but so far Doc Vandal has already fought Nazi gorillas in a zombie infested flaming airship in the skies over New York city.

You have a point there... I haven't done any writing today yet though (work, annoyingly, is too busy)

Most definitely!

Oh...

You mean for writing in?

GeoffC · 11-03-2009, 08:56 AM

whatever takes your fancy

Nazi Gorrillas in a flaming airship?

Now that is a hook.

I would read that book based on that sentence alone.

(Seriously, who doesn't love Nazi Gorillas?)

Of course, the only reason I needed to be that accurate was so that I could throw it out the window safe in the knowledge that I knew what I was writing was wrong.

Also, I hate doing dialogue.

Write absurdist comedy. Then accuracy just hampers the overall oeuvre.

Now, I'd pay good money for a story like that...

I'm at 11,108 right now. Can't upload my word count because of technical difficulties (long story) so I have to wait until I get back in range of Sprint 3G to do that. Onward!

I knew this wouldn't work out for me: I'm already halfway into a reference book, and trying to knock off DOS5, and the timeframe was against me. Daig!
