I worked on my novel today. It's 171 pages and 70, 014 words now. Oorah!

I'm resisting the urge to put a pony reference.

Do it you wimp.

Nice! Mine's just shy of 19, 000 right now. What kind of story is it?

@edvedd - Hahaha, maybe I will. Couldn't think of any myself, though.

@Wryte - It's about Paul Carson, a college sophomore in a fictional university (although heavily based on Princeton University). He harbors a lot of pent up anger, tired of putting up appearance and frustrated at not being able to settle a score with his enemy in the past. This anger drives him to try to kill one of his instructor, but fails. Things snowball after that.

What's yours?

Ooh, sounds dramatic. Are you self-publishing?

Fantasy adventure about a gay prince, repentant sorcerer, arabic amazon, and Slendermen.

Yes, plural.

@Wryte - Ho, you have my interest.

@edvedd - No, I intend to publish it the traditional way, going through publishers and all. Frankly, although I know that things have changed a lot, I still have a less than positive opinion on self-publishing. Yes, I know that I might have no choice on the title (it's called The Cemetery Girl, by the way) and the plot, and get at least a dozen rejection letters, but this is what I signed up for (well, figuratively speaking) and I'm sticking to it.

Also, yes, it is dramatic, but it is also ridiculously silly at times. In one scene Paul dropkicks and wrestles with a river god. Oh, and this is completely non-speculative.

Oh, cool. maybe I'll be seeing you in a bookshop near me.

That, or in a scathing review from the New Yorker. Just kidding. I hope it works for you.

Why, thank you for the encouraging words.

I intend to finish the first draft by the end of this week.

Can I do it? Find out in the next week's episode of dRoy Goes Crazy!

Bluh. Sounds like I need to get on your kind of time table. I've been working on this thing since April and I'm still only this far.

Got what I wanted from Build-a-Bear :D

And it was what exactly?

A plushie of Dashie.

Brushies!

We don't get Build-A-Bear. I'm not big on plushies, so that's all right I guess.

Also, I just want to whack whoever decided it was diaper day on Derpi. Screw that guy. I blocked 'diaper fetish' but not 'diaper' apparently.

Huh. Well, retag them appropriately and you'll never have to see them again ;V

STILL, though.

@Wryte, D Roy: You're both still further than I am. I'm still putting the worldbuilding together.

Also, I don't really follow O Cs so I have no clue who's in that video.

Ahoy. Work was great today. I was on the Quick Responce Team. A full day of just driving around with the occassional bin lift. The only bad thing was the lorry itself. It's a little small thing barely a third of the size of a regular with not much room in the cab, crappy fussy lifters, and the most annoying reversal warning sound I have ever heard. But off tomorrow!

Also my dad went to court and only got three points and a 180 pound fine. Best outcome. So it's all good.

Glad to hear that worked out.

Whoa, your dad went to court? What happened? I must have missed something...

The bastard police pulled him a month ago for bald tyres and other faults on his van. Which he couldn't afford to fix because he was trying to keep in top of his tax bill. He just can't win.

Superhero!AJ

Exposed neckline...nice?

Well, glad to hear things are resolved.

If she was a human... well, that still wouldn't even be the MOST revealing thing she could wear.
