I Remove My Pants in Celebration, and Also Because It Is Too Hot in This Room

Oh, yes. There were so many adverbs. So many terrible adverbs. But only 156 occurrences of "very," which I thought I'd abused so much harder, and only about 36 each of "rather" and "quite." I guess there are still some lines that my inner editor will not cross, and one of those lines involves text that is more than 0.5% shameless polystyrene.

I ended up with only 56 little red tally marks for my body count, but I did ice three out of eight major characters and leave another two missing and presumed dead, so there's that. And I liked the part around November 26th when I started getting punchy and tossing things just in for the heck of it (like a gratuitously long epilogue in modern-day Yoyogi Park), as well as that part around the 28th when everyone abruptly started swearing a whole lot more.

Now I'm going to hit that little "Archive" button in Writely, I miss you, baby, you were so green and pretty Google Docs and enjoy not poking this thing for a while.
