The man's a genius, a writer of enormous talent who comes along once every 100 years.<br />Do your own thing - you're going to make it - and it's gonna be mighty good!Joseph A.

I wrote day after day, a steady 1700 words, and all was going well until someone picked up my ms and read what I'd done. "All work and no play," I wrote, "makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play..." over and over and over and over.<br /><br />Luckily I had my axe with me to deal with the critic. "Here's me," I shouted...I.J.

Toothache troubles derailed me mid-week and I've only churned out about a hundred or two words per days since, sticking me at just under 6000. I like what I have, though and there's still time to catch up! Thinking of trying to write parts I have better worked out in my head instead of continuing in a linear direction. Good luck!Bookstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797445163866512849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-50637265729216423812009-11-09T08:01:14.230-08:002009-11-09T08:01:14.230-08:00I was wondering how it was going.

As for me, I just have my dogs, who'd rather chew on a bone than chew on a storyline.<br /><br />Keep us posted - good to hear the practical side of all this.Laurie Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429604692700662254noreply@blogger.com
