How much have you written so far?
Just shy of 1k. I would normally scrap it, but at this point I only have 31 days left to finish it or Fen will eat my soul.
Trying to finish up my SFFSSWTFDS9TRIANGLE story so I can get to the revising/de-suckifying phase.

Here, here.
It was beautiful today.
Then it started raining.
This is winter, not spring!
Agreed.
Signed a contract for my short. It will be published soon. I... I... I...
This is AWESOME!!!

My hair now has pinkish-purple roots and silver/gray tips.

It isn't that his writing is "bad" (he can string sentences together admirably), it is merely that he is incapable of dropping a fact into his books without somehow mangling the truth - leading to a critical research failure type which... is actually rather difficult to square with his "everything I am about to show you is real" rhetoric.
We've been on this topic before.
My head nearly exploded the last time...
After the first paragraph of the Da Vinci Code I quit reading it for truth and decided to enjoy it for the fiction that it is.
ION: So I spent most of my morning researching for my SS SFF SS project. I don't think I did this much when I was writing my term papers in college. No actual words, but good ideas are now in the works.
