I will be insane during the month of November.

Maybe you can edit it and it will end up as a story?

Actually, I bet with a little bit of thought, basing stuff on your life in the Phils and what you have been trying to achieve could make an interesting story. I'm thinking something Mosquito Coastish...?

[Aeson]

I could edit it all out and then put a story in their place...

I haven't read Mosquito Coast... does it end happily ever after? I'm shooting for one of those types of stories if at all possible...

[MOBIUS]

Er, depends on the definition of happily ever after...

Well, today the municipal water system went operational again after about 5 months of no service... so I can take a shower without hiking across the rice fields or trucking in water... this is "happily until at least sometime next week". Throw in some ice cream and it'd probably be "happily through the new year"...

[Elok]

You'd only be cheating yourself, not much point really?

Yes, it was a joke.

[Lorizael]

Oh, sarcasm. When will you and the internet finally settle your differences?

[MikeH]

Er... yes. That post was meant to be me agreeing with Elok, not disagreeing.

I'm at 6,755. Hopefully I won't have to write anymore at work. Once I get off, I'll head to the local Panera and hammer out my 1,667.

I just wrote a scene in which two of my characters discuss potential evidence for life on Europa. One character is all like, "Dude, this is totally evidence of something crawling around a hydrothermal vent." And the other one is like, "No way, man, that's just cosmic rays accelerating oxidization." I spent half an hour googling this topic, so I'm sure the science is solid.

None yesterday, none today, away for the weekend... going to be 5000 words in the hole

[MikeH]

You probably spent too long on research. 30 minutes is just enough to find some over-simplified but wrong theories.

[Lorizael]

No, it's okay, I cobbled together my own theory based on my total lack of expertise in the area.

[MikeH]

[DaShi]

Wow, Lori's become a professional novelist already.

[ColdWizard]

I did two days of research and now I'm up to 106 words.
