I feel like I've just had my teeth extracted.

Two days of being uninspired and (fortunately) being carried away with work led to zero counts on both Thur and Friday. So my guilt had me up and at it this morning. I got a good solid 2,000 done in the morning.

Then I went to the write-out.

While I was considerably LESS productive I really had a great time with other people. We talked a bit abotu novels and I just really enjoyed the companionship. I still managed to crank out another 3,000 at the session, so I'm feeling like a stud. :)

All in all, I think I'm still inspired, so I may push on.

In terms of excerpts, I will comb what I've written for post-worthy stuff, but I'm keeping to myself these days. Don't know why. Uncomfortable, I guess.

Jackie and Greg have completely taken the novel over. I MUST get back onto Carrie and Josh.

These two couples will HAVE to be separated at some point. In their separate stories. But later. Not now.

41K! Wo0t! Go you! That is amazing - and to be able to crank out 3000 words while surrounded by other people, with all the socializing opportunities... colour me even more impressed.

I know what you mean about certain characters taking over. Miss Carstairs has just turned into a matchmaker. WTF is that about? (It's about a certain author not having a clue what to do to create CONFLICT! Gah!)
