Ooh, need banner.

Congrats

I'm not going to completely give up. I'm going to try another story idea. Different variations of the story have been running around in my head and I want to give it a shot. I'm going to shot for 25k so I'm not too rushed.

7291. About 1000 words behind where I ought to be, but I still have all day tomorrow to catch up, if I can find the time. Work's still coming first, though. My novel isn't really flowing too well at this point. Whenever I get to a point that's giving me trouble, I drop it and go to a more interesting part to write about. This is good for keeping me interested in writing, but it's making the text very disjointed. Restraining...

Just hit 50k. Story itself is juuust about done, but I hit the 50k word mark so I think I'm taking a break for at least a day.

Lagging behind at roughly 2,500. Not ready to give up the fight yet though. We'll see what today brings. __________________ Memories how they fade so fast, Look back there is no escape.
