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.

I'm really psyched about this one.

And I still have remnants of a remembered bit of chocolate (very small, alas) in my mouth, so I'm extradoublesuper content.

Ooh man, I totally know that feeling, that chocolate-memory <3 Good times.

I'm secretly resenting you right now.

Except--that I'm not very good at the secret part...or the resenting part...

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.

You did rather...huzzah me, at Facebook. But maybe this is just your ploy to cover up your blatant resentment with even more blatant blandishments?

Nah.

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. ^_^

people who speak yiddish always lie.

Huzzah isn't Yiddish, is it?
>.<

{I say random comments deserve random responses.}

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

Rock on! That is excellent!

I'm so happy with this stuff! I can't explain it, but it's different.

I would be in withdrawal, since I'm not starting the next for a month, but I have very few days off between now and November...

Thanks for your earliest encouragment. It was really great to write it with other people excited about it for me besides my obliging but busy mum.
