Have begun Very Cunning Plan ™

I can't admit defeat on this! I absolutely canNOT miss this deadline, so I'm rattling out the basic plot for the rest of the chapters as fast as I can go. There's going to be no prizes for Literature on this version laugh.gif BUT (and this is the all important but) I should make the deadline with a hastily scribbled rest of plot.

It does mean that the chapters should go up pretty quickly in December, because all I'll need to do is rewrite them so they're readable for you and have all the emotions and such in that I want. Then I can start the proper rewrite in January. The proper version looks as if it'll be about 70,000 anyway, so there's no harm in waffling it out 20,000 words of sketchy story that I can use as a framework for stuff to be posted here.

So, here we go... I'm currently 33,000 words on file and pounding the keyboard.

Keep going Bart! You're nearly there!!!

I've just crossed the 40,000 word barrier this morning (the writing is truly terrible; honestly you don't even want to see how bad this is!) and I've set aside the rest of the day for gabbling through the remainder of the plot.

LOL I must learn to give up on projects. This is just insane...

Still, at least it means I get to wear the t-shirt wink.gif

LOLOL. If you're extremely good I'll get chapter 7 posted for you all tonight. That chapter's not so bad - it just needs a bit of brushing up. It all goes horribly downhill from there!

I'll make them slightly more paletable before I post them, right now it's not much beyond the basic plot, but it's all words, words, words...

And a solid 8 hours of writing later...

laugh.gif teehee.gif biggrin.gif teehee.gif ohmy.gif hug.gif

FOFLOL I can't believe I made it to 50,000 words like that. My padded plot notes did the trick and I've the structure of what really needs to be written up typed out and finished!

I'm laughing so hard - it's been an insane few days but it's FANTASTIC to hit the end of it. I know I'm heading back to draft chapter 8 now and I've just posted chapter 7, so the work is a long way from being finished.

Today feels good!
