Wherein there is an actual wordcount

[marycrawford]

I'm not doing Yuletide this year, but I salute those who do, or are doing other challenges like NaNoWriMo. Good writing to you all! I'll be here with the virtual chocolate and reassuring stripy fleece blanket when necessary. *g*

I set myself a little challenge of my own, and since a challenge is nothing without the threat of public mockery, I'll proclaim it here: I'm going to finish two of my stalled Hercules stories before December 31st.

There. I said it.

And I've written 1048 words on one of them this morning, so I'm feeling vaguely optimistic about it.

The biggest trouble is tearing myself away from vidding the Widow Twanky to write. But the Escapade deadline isn't til February, so I have time... (I'm not sure whether I'm brave enough to send this vid there, but I'm still keeping the deadline in mind.)

Clearly I need more coffee because I read the above as:
"...the threat of public monkeys"
So. If you don't finish your stories, I have some monkeys mock you in public.
