Poisson's first draft is finished!
(My inspirational background)
The 9 chapters of "The Carnie's Conspiracy" of the Conspiracy of Cons series (all highly debateable...if you have critique, present it) have been concluded. And typing also wrapped up.
Ben asked me "What's the last word?"
Boy.
Feeling this was overly obscure, I present you with the last line:
There was no having the last word with that boy.
I am thrilled. And tomorrow morning I start herding munchkins and selling pumpkins, once I've done serious damage to the prep work left undone last week. Eep. I wish I had some chocolate about to reward myself, but I dinna.

Hey--thanks for the heads-up about nanowrimo! How cool is that?! I think I will try and wri a no next mo.
I wish it was perfectionism that keeps me from writing, though. It's the absence of presence.

As I said, there's only one way to work those muscles, and it's to stretch them by degrees. Last year's NaNo I realized just how little I expected myself to do in a day of writing. I have a few days like yesterday (generally at the beginning rosy romance, or when I'm racing to the end) where I attain 4000 words...but only very occasionally. I got behind last year trying to estimate how many pages were 2000 words incorrectly. ^_^

I only know some bad words in Yiddish, apparently. It's too bad. They feel so fun on the tongue.
