A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Not insane! It's great.

I can take a look at it. I can't get to tonight, tonight, but during the week. Profile addy is good.

Like erika, I haven't seen the rest. Also, my writing skills are dubious but I'm not afraid of giving my opinions.

I finally burst out of the revised chapter 12 logjam, despite recovering from some minor surgery. Also, I downed chapter 13 which yay, didn't change a lot from the rough draft. I'm now working on revising 14 in which romance rears its scary head.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I don't think I'm gonna make it. Chipping away at France. Desperation is kicking in.

Our wings are not tired.

Viva La France! You'll make it. We'll keep kicking you in the butt until you do.

If you need another set of eyes, I should be able to look at it this week, Allyson. Profile addy is good.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Allyson, send it. If you need another reader, I'll be glad to take a look.

Gud, on your stuff tomorrow.

Um. Complete sentences may return eventually.

Still working. Getting there.

Why oh why did I decide to make that story for Steampunk Tales a serial? WHYYYYYY? How the hell am I going to write the next section? MY DEADLINE IS IN THREE DAYS. I am half-convinced that writing the first part was a lucky fluke. I spent all day re-reading the first installment I wrote, then staring at a blank document. I finally started getting words tonight, and have just sent the first 1K words off to my sanity check people, because I have no idea if it's any good. WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF?

AND I need to write a proposal and polish the sample chapter for the YA book/series I want to do, because my agent wants to see it. Ohgodohgod. Why am I so scared of writing fiction?

t the whinycakes writer tag never closes, sorry

Deep breaths. You'll do great.

At chapter 14, I've realized my revised version is on track for something like 70-80 chapters. Is that an insane number? On the positive side I try to end each chapter on a hook of some sort so I'll end up with a lot of hooks.
