that project I was working on --- 72,000+ words and still not quite finished. Sent an Email asking for another day to finish it up, as it was due today. Now I'm wondering if the guy asking for it (Assistant line developer for the gaming line) will either be impressed or think I need Professional help..... :P

Ever see Dead Like Me?  Girl gets taken out by a toilet from Mir, and that was the start of her woes...

Great Show BTW.  An older Inigo Montoya managing a bunch of Ghosts, its great!

(PS congrats on the productivity.  This is just me being jealous  ;))

Lately its been work and family obligations, but thats not really an excuse.  The biggest problem is too many projects that I want to get done all at once, and only the two of them that are writing.  I have been productive in that I borrowed some library credentials to get research materials, but I havent made any progress on the actual word count.  Or on the Electric sword.  Or on the Fusion reactor.  Or on the Tesla Coil.  Or on the kinect powered sketchpad software.  Or on the musical ball bearing fountain.  Or on the EEG controlled Quadrocopter. Or on that thing they call sleep.

But Ive been babysitting my baby niece a lot, which is all kinds of fun :)  Its looking like she might actually be walking before she crawls, which will be hilarious!

Project #1: Three pages into a planned ~30 page short story.  I've got about 90% of the scenes and details already fully mapped out in my head, just have to pound them out.  Should finish it this weekend.  Finish the first draft, that is.  After that, touch it up a bit and send it out to my betas.

Project #2: 0% on rewrite of 11 page prologue for a full novel.  Since I originally wrote the prologue last year, I've substantially revised the plot for the story, so I've gotta do a pretty significant rewrite of the prologue.  I've redone the outline and made new notes, but haven't approached the story itself since the revisions.  Planning to start this in the next week or two.  Once I rewrite the prologue, I'll send it and the updated notes/outline to my betas.

Project #3: At this point, I've got nothing on paper.  This was originally the first story idea I came up with 15 years ago, but totally didn't have the ability to even think about writing the story back then (I was 10 at the time), and lately I've revisited the idea and am mentally seriously revising it, trying to see if I can hash out a workable idea.  If I can, I'll start writing up the notes/outline and maybe the first chapter after I ship off the prologue in P#2.
