Damn, you're on a hell of a roll. I can only claim a fraction of your word count to date.
Writing for you is the way to go.
Cool stuff. Wish I was half as productive. Oh wait...turns out I am. 20k written so far this year. That's not as bad as I feared! Thank you! Oh, and cake and sword fighting? Excellent reasons to slack off imho. :)
I believe it was Stephen King who said to write the first draft with the door closed, for yourself, right? :D
Kick ass year so far. *knocking on wood*, don't worry!
"A Goatish Man" sounds like an awesome title in and of itself...
I bow down to you. I am not worthy :)
beautiful :)
A most productive month :)
I was wondering where my words went. They've defected across the ocean and have cuddled up next to yours. Very well. You've won this round my productive enemy. :)
You are burning it UP on that wordcount. And the acceptance is nice too!
You're right, Anthony. I am on a hell of a roll -- down the slippery slope to madness. Weeeeeee.
Plus your first draft stuff is like my third draft stuff so you are at the equivalent of 60k, Mike.
I always listen to the King, Katey. Must be my British genes ;)
Oh no, don't tempt me, Barry.
No one is worthy, Mary
Thanks, Kara.
And yet it doesn't feel like it, Danielle. The numbers make things seem prettier than things were.
Gef, no words are safe from me.
I set fire to a dictionary, Kate.
