Ray's House of Love Party

Elaine,

That's what this is about. Ray and I are "sort of" having a writing match.
We're posting our weekly word count.

Yeah, I agree. Someone could have a bad week and it's all over for them... Never can tell what's going to happen. I like it!

I think all of the contestants are good. We'll just have to see what happens. It's kind of nice for me now cause I'll be voting for the first time.

Sara,

You better not be whispering my count to him. LOL

Nope!

We're waiting on Ray to post his count. The deadline was 10.
Ray, hellooooo.

OK, I didn't do a lot of typing today... so my end of week word count is (drum roll... dummmm dummmm): 7464 (according to MS Word). Except the 620 for my column, everything else is for my WIP. I didn't count anything else, because I want to focus on my WIP count.

There.

Did I win a kiss, at least?

and I didn't count the 2700 words on my WIP

Joanne, that was thoughtless of me. You are a wonderful writer, hell, all of ya'll are! Blue Tx has just had the stories both times that I liked the best.

She beat you, Ray!

Yes, Joanne is the resounding winner. Give her a kiss, Ray.

:faint:

DING DING DING

AND THE WINNER IS....





Me, no seriously


JOANNE!!!!



(Actually, I did about 12,000 this week and finished the first draft of my book.)

I know she would beat me. She has to keep typing to stop her from wanting a cig... meanwhile, I don't need anything to stop me from wanting sex...

Bwhahahahaha.

I'm happy, anyway, 7400 words. Wow. I'm this much closer to finishing my novel.

Ray. Want to go again for this week? Deadline Sat. May 7, 10 p.m.

Yay, Elaine! Wow, 12000 words? That's phenomenal! And finished your first draft! Congrats!

I still have a long way to go.

No problem, Denise. No offense.

Wow, Elaine. That's great! With all the shorts and article plus my WIP I had a total of 10, 883. And that didn't count the 1,000 for the Idol piece.

I'm looking forward to the contest being over so I can concentrate on my WIP.

Yeah, but it sucks at the moment. I changed my mind on the plot line three times during the process. It's just the foundation at the moment. I'm planning on going at it again next week and putting TONS of descriptions and add ons (which will probably take more time).

Funny thing about it is: It's a Fantasy Novel with magic in it, but I have no real scenes involving magic till the last two chapters. Means I have to get my bu** in gear and put it in the rest of the book.

Hey! Can I get into this competition? I'll try to keep track of my word count. Promise.

Well, even though I gladly concede my defeat, I'm really happy with my word count. That's a break through for me, considering I'm also editing my soon-to-be-released novel to meet the production deadline. I'm almost there, just need to do the line-by-line, pain-in-the-ass proofreading.

So, even with that, I still wrote over 7000 words. I feel accomplished.

I deserve a kiss, a hug, and a nookie...

"... meanwhile, I don't need anything to stop me from wanting sex..."


Have you ever seen that movie about Robert Crane? Just finished watching that. What a sex maniac he was!

Sure, why not. Ray you still in for a 10 o'clock deadline next Saturday night?

The sure, why not, was for Elaine, not the nooky for Ray. LOL

Sure, 10p.m. nexst Saturday. Same time, same place.
