6,000 words in one day? Even I would consider that a productive day. I wrote 459 exactly yesterday. So I gotta do my 6,000 tonight, I guess.
Entertaining post. Hope you guys have fun. If you are writing on another Seekrit Project? My nose will be out of joint. Unless you're writing Ray/Ray, in which case...haha...
Dude. I hate being out of the loop. It's probably somewhere in that INFP profile thingy. But I got this Poncho (Ray). :)
*crawls back under rock* *takes keyboard with*
Have fun! {{{hugs}}}
P.S. the taffy medals? I believe it--sounds very Canadian: 1. saves money, and B) taffy is quite hard at the temperatures of a Canadian winter. Even this winter. :)
P.P.S. It is 35 below in Inuvik tonight (Fahrenheit--which, I know, isn't far off from Celsius on that part of the scale, and I do not know why; even contemplating it makes my brain hurt). Chilly. :)
Yep! I'm trying to start a trend, here! The section may not be particularly a good 6,000 words, but it does give you bragging rights! Get to it, JS!

Um. Uh. Look, JS! Turtles!
Your icon is truly fabulous! Plastacine!Ray and his tiny Poncho of Lowered Expectations has made my year!
And wow, -35. That's not nothin'. *salutes Inuvikians* I still haven't figured out any of the Fahrenheit temperatures. I think it's all witchcraft, frankly.
Nice try, but I'm already looking at turtles. I have a little turtle collection on my desk and on my library shelf. Someday when it gets boring around here (as if), I'll take a photo and share it.

Thank you! *is mollified about one millimeter's worth--which that is not a lot, Fraser. That is, like, tiny.*
Poor guy! I feel that pain, I have that early-morning issue too. Yesterday I got a friend to call me and wake me up, and according to her, she asked me if I wanted to come over for lunch later, and I said: "I would - I don't - I can't - oh God, I don't know, I don't know!"
She was very soothing, to which I apparently responded with "Je t'aime" and fell asleep. I have no memory of this AT ALL.
Oh wow! That's pretty impressive! I mean, you were incoherent, yes, but then you spoke French AND succumbed to total amnesia! Not everyone can do that. You are a special and unique snowflake!
I once had a friend, sweetest woman you can imagine, who would cuss me out in 3 languages if I woke her up, and not recall a word of it in the morning.
yay you writed!!! yay you get a meresy! yay you have the funniest, cutest boyfriend in all the lands! and pfft to the BMI. PFFT.
and then i got hung up on the antelope thing. see, you are going to go, BWAH? when i say this, but antelopes were a big thing at library school, because every single entering student had to read this article: what is a document. my particular cohort got REALLY hung up on the "antelope as document" thing and WOULD NOT LEAVE IT ALONE. if you ever are around us all in a large group, you can get us to CRACK UP by just saying the word. as you did here for me...
Thank you! We really don't hear enough PFFTs in response to that BMI bullshit!
And wow, that whole "What is a Document" thing is hysterical. I can see why it would cause a stir amongst you librarian types :-) I liked my antelope story very much! *clings to it*
I think so too! It's a pretty word, and it makes sense. Oh English. How you fail us.
I'm very intrigued by this record daily output business. I have a sense that you probably write slowly but very thoroughly, and that you're not really one of those "get everything down and then go back and edit" types. I'm one of those folks, only I usually forget the "edit" steps.
I can write really fast, but I probably won't have another burst of creativity like this for a few weeks. *sigh* I would much prefer a slow and steady approach where I got a little accomplished every day.
That is, in fact, exactly my problem. I write, and I edit, and I refine, and I tinker, and an hour later when I'm perfectly happy, I go on to the next sentence.

Yes, it would be pretty self-serving, but I think we could swing it!

And I am way impressed by your 6000 words! That's, like, over twice my record daily output. Yay you!
