Yes, I only have a pathetic little 200 posts so far.  I don't normally have much time to post...and even if it shows I'm online, I'm mostly not...or else I'm just reading through threads instead of posting.  Trying to catch up on everything.

Maybe three months is the magic number?  LOL!  We shall see, but for me to post a lot, RL would have to seriously go away...and yeah, that's not likely to happen in this century.  Another Boo. Hiss.

Now I am GONE...   :D  See ya later...

1600 words so far today; taking a break before I tackle the next chapter.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

I'm on summer schedule, so I get off work at 1 pm Fridays; had lunch with some colleagues and was home and writing by 3. By roughly midnight I had another 2300 words done which completes chapter 5.  This is very pleasing.  (My personal records are 14,500 words in 24 hours, and - a different time - 45,000 words in 9 days; the latter was last time I changed jobs, I had two weeks between one ending and the next beginning, and I decided to finish the novel I was working on then.  It was bad for my wrists, bad for my sleep, bad for my back, and not much fun to do that, but it was satisfying to know I could if I need to.)

Oh, yeah...the temp thing...I should have indicated 104 C degrees.  Forgot you go by F over your way.  :P

I just realized that I got these temps mixed up.  Duh.  I told you my brain was fried in the heat yesterday.  I should have said 104 degrees Farenheit.  And actually by late afternoon yesterday we hit 105 degrees of oppressive, sultry, steamy heat.  Ugh.

aw well i have school
aand i could write more if
a. i did not like to sleep for at least 6 hours everyday
b i spent less time trying to be sociable round here
c i did not get so grumpy with RL as i don't do good writing when i am grumpy

Well...
a.  I get by most of the time on 5 hours sleep, which doesn't mean I'm up getting anything actually done.   :-\
b.  Social time is important!  That should come first.   :D
c.  RL is not good for a writer's soul.   ;)  We'd much rather write than do chores, school or any of those necessary evils.
d.  I am trying to blame the heat for my lack of enthusiasm and creativity - and I'm sticking to it!   ;D  It's better than admitting I'm lazy...

But I tried writing a little last night, actually editing a story, and realized I didn't like the darn thing!  I love the idea, but it wasn't coming together the way I wanted it to, so it's back to the beginning...an almost complete re-work, because I refuse to give up on it.  (I have several stories in this predicament on my computer that I believe I can salvage.  "Never say never" is my motto!)

Two more weeks doesn't sound too bad.  You can do it!

And sunny holiday might actually be fun...at least sunny.  Can't go wrong with sun.   ;)

Family functions are another matter.  Some are good and some not so much - at least with my family - and sometimes I'd really like to trade them in for a new bunch of relatives, but so far I have no offers.  Hmm...seems their reputation precedes them.  LOL!   :-\

I'd hoped to get a whole weekend in, but so far spent it in bed with a box of menthol tissues.

You'll find your time to write.
Good luck both of you.
