Oy! I hate Mondays, but since I worked yesterday, and I don't work tomorrow, does that make this my Friday? Should I be excited or frustrated? Someone help me!

It's obvious the novelists are ignoring us. I say, we go back to the Horror forum where at least they like our flavor.

Actually we're editing you.
You're not what you were before. But we're being careful about consistency so you won't notice.

With novels there's all the rewriting and editing and then the whole to or not to outline question. It's just a whole lot of work.

Someone tried to eat the Haggis again, didn't they. I believe they were all poisoned, so the thread got booted over here. The novelists know what's good for them and stay out.

Yes, I know I just quoted the same post twice, with a different spin. That's how my mind works after 16 and 24 hours with no sleep, respectively.

Wait until you see the next stop.

Happening: (1) An action, such as a dead thread that surprisingly goes on for more than 250 pages. It could be an interesting action or a boring action, which means "happening" is in the eye of the onlooker. (2)Something that's hip.
Add on at any time.

Well, hell. Since we're here until Saturday, we might as well write a novel. You start, OFG.
