Okay @Daeus, I got 870 words edited. Not too bad. What did you get?

@bluejay You can have half of my cookie. It’s everlasting, so it won’t matter.

I’m sure you’ll think up something soon. Maybe try reading a novel. I get all sorts of ideas reading other people’s writing.

*stares hard at everlasting cookie*
I just thought I’d let you know @daeus, I’m not writing simply because I have run out of ideas. Momentarily, of course. 🙂 Hopefully it won’t be long before I’m back though.
*continues staring at everlasting cookies. Mouth starts drooling*

@Daeus yup. Here goes. See ya then.

@kate-flournoy As I nibble on my everlasting cookie, I remember that I should be writing now. Can you go till 9?

Do you mean hooks @gretald? That’s what I’ve always heard them called (though there are many names for everything). You mean some sort of exciting first line/paragraph that really catches people’s attention, I assume.

@kate-flournoy Ha! You need to take math again, but before you do I’ll quickly except that bargain.

Give me my gold back and I will bake you one big everlasting cookie.

@Daeus

@Daeus wow, talk about revenge! 😛

Hey… you accidentally left all your cookies in the process of stealing all my gold and making off in your schooner. Can I have them? Thanks. *eats all cookies*

@kate-flournoy That be ok matey. I steal all your gold and makes off in a schooner.

Aye aye, Cap’n— shiver me timbers, but we be editing too. *pauses, takes off pirate mask and squints thoughtfully at word-count*

*wonders if it will be wise to disclose said word-count*

*decides pirates don’t have to worry about being wise, slips mask back on and grins*
