Hi Mel and Karla!

AWWWW! I wasn't TRYING to make you all look that way....I'm just sooooper excited about finally getting to the end of a project....not just partially through....this is a definite milestone for me....I've now updated the ticker again.....2,008 words til goal....I might even go over...which is ok because revisions will most certainly take quite a few of those words away!! LOL

Ok.....I thought that I'd be cutting it close & not making it to the 50k goal....but it seems that I'll be going OVER that goal! I've got 892 words left according to my ticker....and I still have another scene or three to write! UGH!! LOL To have this problem huh??

50K is just a goal. It's a good minimum for YA, but totally okay to go over.

As for The Librarian, Judas Chalice was probably the best, and is the one with the girl from Castle, but I think it's best to start with the first one when Flynn was clueless.

I once heard that they were making a fourth Librarian movie, to be shown in theaters.

Yeah...I was just trying to aim for that...initially I thought that I was going to fall WAYYYYY short...now I'm not so worried!

I think that I need to start over with the Librarians....I missed the first one....caught the end of the second one....and sorta watched the third one....I'd only gotten to see bits & pieces of the first on a long time ago....So it'll be nice to start over again!

I started over on this WIP again today. Got 4K in and I think I'm finally hitting stride. I had trouble with motivation last draft, but I think I've figured it out. I hope.

Start my fake-internship tomorrow so going to go to bed now! Night all!

I might be a bit late here. Popping in to wish you a Happy Birthday, Karla!

I think my computer might be overheating. It's only been open for half an hour, the silly thing. :S

Ugh, expensive gas. Boo.

Also: Happy birthday Karla!

Moni: Whoa. Crazy word counts. All of you put me to shame. I am super proud of myself if I get 2k done in a day. I need to learn to focus better.

Hope everyone has a great week ;)

Thank you for the well wishes on the word counts folks! I think that my pinkies have finally calmed down. The swelling is down...OOOH! I need one of those programs where you talk to the computer and it types for you! Although I'm not sure I could do that....since my writing is in my head.....I never even catch myself mouthing the words....But I DO catch myself scowling or smiling depending on the scenes I'm writing. When I realize I'm doing it I laugh at myself. (Ok....never said I was the sanest creature on the face of this planet! Especially since I teared up during a sad moment...I'm in here blubbering and typing! LOL)

OK. Time for me to end this puppy so I can have myself a glass of wine with the cat! (HEE HEE! Like in Romancing the Stone! LOL)

I'll have this up for my breaks! By the way....I LOVE YOU GUYS! (No, I'm not drunk...just appreciative!)

Go, Moni - you're nearly there! I'm cheering you on. :D

Thanx Nettie Netz! My elbow isn't cheering me on though...and neither is my right pinkie....that danged congenital thing is really hindering my life's work! ROFL~! But I'm very nearly there...so that means you'll be getting a message from me about taking you a look-see at what drivel I've written! Hee hee!

*yawn* so tired.

What time is it where you are?

Aww....as Netz would say...is it time for a kip?

Absolutely, lol! How many words have you done today, Moni? Your tickercounter hasn't updated yet since I last flew by this thread (been lurking in QLH, looking for pointers, lol!). And have you had any sleep in the last 24 hours, vampire buddy??! :e2teeth:
