I wish I could apply myself like you do. I am officially jealous of your progress. Congrats though!! :)

Thank you! Try it next year, that's all I've got to say to jealousy. It's fun. It's insane and it starts to get strange around day two, but it's a lot of fun. Sort of like people who run 10k marathons think of fun.

Actually, try during Nanowrimo where if you get a whole lot done in one day or two, it adds to the total, but if you don't, then you still got ahead on your Nanowrimo. Anyone who hasn't done three day novels, Nano is about the best way to try for "what will I get if I start writing and don't stop for anything but the bathroom for two or three days on end?"

Yay, you! What a brilliant idea for uses for the work, too. Had I really thought of all that, I might have dove into Predator (which rather desperately needs renamed) since it will have so many rivers and tributaries before reaching anything like the sea. I haven't emailed as I knew you were busy and thought I'd hold off and send something quite long Monday evening for you to tackle on Tuesday ;) I'm going for baby steps this weekend as a way to conquer some of that overwhelming stuff to do. And now I'm a bit stymied as my desktop computer is having some sort of issue, so I am on the laptop. I'm just not going to stress about that - or anything else this weekend. Sit back and drink wine and watch you stress ;) j/k Maybe I'll break out my new oil pencils and play with them, and some ACEO stuff later tonight.

Oooh purr, looking forward to your long letter on Tuesday when I come back from spending Labor Day Weekend in Arkatyr. I've finished today's Goal For The Day, 50,000 and am well on getting even more ahead before tomorrow. It's been up and down between getting totally lost in it or having to force myself to do the next paragraph and scene ( ... )

Awwww how could I turn down that face? I'll get her Cat-Ass-Trophy print listed tomorrow! Right now I'm sitting here reeling with my annual "I can't believe I wrote the whole thing" brainfuzz moment, but I will do prints tomorrow. Promise. It will go up with a Buy It Now price too so you can grab it fast ( ... )
