Excellent--output and a goal the tyrant is pleased-- because Lady Jay would be pleased and nobody wants her displeased!!

As a reward you get to pick which horror hound gets 20 roundhouses
PICK BOSTON

Post or rep you choice--which ever you like.

And horror hounds, I'd be extra nice to Cranky

I ain't crazy, DL. Not THAT crazy, anyway.

I'll take the roundhouses myself...fallin' on my sword, so to speak.

20 roundhouses for you--good job Cranky

1500 word count--gave myself 20 push-ups

Boston reported at the Aw refugee camp-- but said he would beef up his count.
Already did his 20 roundhouses either way.

Post your count and goals.

goal 1100 word count.

12 words, not counting blog posts, which would actually bump me up to around...900? Not sure offhand.

Yes, 12 words. Two six word stories.

Goal for this week - write and edit 1000k for Episode Two.

20 push-ups for the lovely Cranky. Cool about the six word stories--not easy to do. Goals posted--awesome


More output, please.

DAMN it was hard to get here!

First it was AW, then my computer, then the internet, then my computer again.

And just now the internet kicked me off so I had to go and drag myself back...

Ok. I finished the edit and I've done everything I've been told. I proofed it again, re-did the synopsis and the query and it is ready to submit. I'm going to try to get it in the Amazon Contest before I inflict it on the world.

I did some editing on Shiva, but I was reminded that I do have a task I did promise I'd do, so I stopped and I'm working on that until I finish.

I'm brand new, and i write dark more'n horror, but i could sure use a deadline-checker. Please, please consider letting me in on all the details?

thenk yew.

There is no death or desertion here, only some serious whip cracking and a heeping helping of GUILT to motivate even the staunchest procrastinator. I should know.

BTW - I eeked out a couple hundred words this morning. I've missed my goals by light years thus far. This year started out easy enough then reality came at me again full throttle. I'm getting a little tired of things falling apart around me. Bout time for a break over here.

Critted 3 large pieces.

Started the outline for the *major* horror rewrite.

Goal this week: Finish the outline. This could run to 2K words. (I write little summaries in each section of my outlines.)

Sounds good--20 roundhouses for the lovely Cal

I managed three subs this week, worked some more on the blog and kicked out about 600 words on the new short. I think I know where I'm going with it now, so after three other abortive starts and stops I'm finally happy.

Happy where is the 10,000 word report--young hound!
10 pushups for Haggis. We need goals

Hang in there Pike. Try to release some of those frustrating things into your writing. And if you need an ear you can use mine--drop me a line if you want to chat--or vent--or howl. 1 big roundhouse for you!
