Here's what really kinda bugs me...

[joegoda]

I knew that I was not gonna make 50 thousand words. I'm about 1/2 way though the darn thing, I'm grumpy, I don't feel well, my sinuses are trying to burst through my head like one of those Alien babies and the story is yelling at me to write, and I'm yelling back I don't think I can do a very good job at it right now, thank you very much and here's where I'm at so you can darn well eat it for a bit, I wrote 2000 more words tonight when I didn't really feel like it, so there, you stupid storytelling thing person:

40,316 / 50,000 (80.6%)

No.. I'm not gonna make 50 thousand words.. I'll probably be lucky if I can do the thing in 100 thousand words. *sigh* and that's just the rough draft, and I *KNOW* that even after the rough draft, there will be subtractions, as in clean up, scenes that really don't make sense in the story or even detract from it. BUT I also *KNOW* that there are parts I need to ADD to. Heck..

Sinus issues stink! Here's to you feeling better! I know that you can complete it, even if you don't make the deadline. And to boot, people will line up to read it!

I'll be fine hon. Probaby just too much pine smoke in the air. Figure a good night's rest, some Nyquil, and I'll be fit as a fiddle, if a fiddle can be fit. And I'll make the deadline.. it's just that I thought I'd be just a little over 50 thousand words.. I mean, the object isn't to complete it, but to reach the 50 thou mark. But this thing... it's just really big for me. my poor lil fingers are just gonna be twigs. I think I need pizza.

Pizza solves everything. I am convinced!

then I'm gonna order pizza for tomorrow while I work. I could wait til tomorrow night, I could go pick up some djorno.. but I think I want some quality over priced pizza delivered in a pampered fashion to my door. Poor Sherry.. If she feels close to what I feel, and I know her's are ten times worser than mine, then she feels really really crappy.

See, now that you brought it up, I'll have to just put you back on active duty, unless the postings become too inane at which time you'll just go back. Congrats on the New Position! Least there aren't any angry stupid parents involved with it. Maybe.

I'm debating on who to unfriend next.... there are some pretty inane conversations out there, you know. And I sincerly believe it doesn't really matter if I read them or not. Most folks, like ME, tend to write just to hear themselves write, and hope there is a response to it. Or not.

I am there with you on that last comment. Though, my journal is mostly a way to keep in contact with people when I am extremely busy.

I can't promise I will always be exciting, though..lol
