I think I'm going to go do some long hand outlining. I'll be around in a few hours.

It all depends on how you're doing it. I know that typically I aim for at least 60k. If you're writing fantasy, it's better to aim higher. But not much higher than 120-130k.

You know what? That scene is now TOTALLY SERVICEABLE.

And WAHOO I wrote over 1000 words! That brings my total to just over 15K!

I haven't been on here in a while.

I'll try to drop by more often if summer classes don't kill me.

21! Hi!

So, I was out on a walk (which ended up being about 2-2 1/2 hours), and I think I may have a bit of an idea how Shasta from Horse and His boy felt. The part(s) I'm talking about are when he's waiting at the tombs, and also when he's riding up the side of the mountain. The part with the "cat." I had my own little kitty escort, who would stop every now and then and growl and hiss at something I couldn't see, but then catch up to me. All the way home. ...I love cats.

ETA And now I'm going to sleep. G'night!

"Have you been taken over by caffinated space aliens?" XDDD

Hoping this episode will give me more ideas for Chapter Five. If not, I'll have to wait until I have music on sorting out my DVDs, and that can be a bit of a pain.

It's My Life/Confessions = Win.

Also, what's Archie's last name? I want to put that in my favourite quotes section on Facebook.
