If any of you've noticed my long embarrassed silence, yeah, I've dropped out. Not up to writing in my current creativity slump. I'm cheering for the rest of you guys, though!

I'm just going to make 50 pictures instead.

Seriously, good luck for those who have the time for this undertaking!

I'm behind again, and I keep getting ideas for things I think would be more interesting to write.

NOT a good time, brain!

I seriously did consider doing that, except hat my creativity slump is all-encompassing. *steals some of Vort's inspiration*

I'm catching up! I am!

My decision? Screw the plot, I'm gonna write backstory!

And then I spent around 2,000 words describing a library.
Libraries tend to feature a lot in all my works.

I'm almost at 5K. My goal isn't 50K anymore, its just to hit 10K while I'm simultaneously doing about 2 or 3 research projects due by the end of the month.

Libraries are lots of fun even though I don't have 2,000 words in me to describe them.

I only found out about this yesterday, but I'm insane so I'll give it a go.

That's 50,000 words in 14 days.

Current status. Whee.

I ended up doing this. :lol: Now I'm behind again and trying to catch up before other fun things begin. Doesn't help that I've gotten back into playing Neverwinter Nights 2

10K is acceptable novel length, go for it!

Ow.

11,345 words in three days, but two of those days were the weekend. I wish I'd found out about this sooner. Working full time is going to take a major chunk out of my writing time...
