In other news – I just crossed the 20,000 word mark on Theatre of Curious Acts with these words:
The dragons skittered about their ankles leaving scorch marks on their uniforms and setting Harvey’s shoelaces alight. The man jumped down into the sludge to put himself out. The dragons rolled onto their backs and released a sound akin to laughter.

Congratulations-- both on the story (I really do need that for my golfer-husband, don't I?) and on the 20k mark. Those are some pretty cool words for such a landmark, too :D
HAHA. Okay just read it. Cate, you are made of awesome <3
A zillion thanks, Katey. It's good of you to take time away from your book - this is one bad month to have something published online. :)
Two thumbs, up!
Thanks, Jodi.
People really don't use the word "skittered" enough.
I agree. ;)
I just 'skittered' across the 20,000 word mark myself, although not quite as eloquently as you. Now I can go read a golfing story.
Whoot on 20K! Off to read "The Flat-packed Golfer"...
Okay - just read it. Fun site by the way. Love the voice, delivery--perfect timing with that last line...
Good one Cate! Enjoyable story, after I conquered the mouse-fooling page turning thingy. Cheers!
That story is a lot of fun! Not at all what I expected, either. :)
Congrats on the 20k!
I hate it when dragons immolate my shoelaces.
Snarf.
Jamie, we are doing so well. ;)
Thanks for reading Aaron, Ian & KC.
Carrie :)
Congrats! The Flat-Packed Golfer is a fabulous title. :)
And... I see you’re reading The Graveyard Book. I bought a copy on Monday and put it right to the top of my TBR pile. Can’t wait!
Thanks, Mary.
I don't think I need to say that The Graveyard Book is very, very good, though I just did. :)
What a way to pull the guys in...golf... my husband will "read all about it" - when it involves golf.
You have to have a plan. :)
Congrats! I'm following Nano like crazy and you're doing awesome. Great golfer story, too.
Cheers!
