@Daeus thanks. 😀 *takes half of what remains*

@Dragon-Snapper *laughs**winces* That sounds painfully familiar. 😛

@Daeus @Dragon-Snapper I’m at a good stopping place, so I’m stopping a bit early. I got 1,106 words— yay! 😀

Ha.

@Daeus count me in.

@Anne-Swiftblade hey, you like a lot of our favorites. 😀 BBC Pride and Prejudice… Seven Brides for Seven Brothers… Court Jester… we like all of those. Not to mention It’s a Wonderful Life and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, which we already brought up…

@Dragon-Snapper yi—!! Oh wait. 😛 Still though, that’s quite a bit. Good job.

@Daeus that’s great. I got 651 words— not stunning, but not too bad either. Besides I’m working on a scene I really like, so I’m having fun at the same time. 😉 More fun than usual, that is. Funny how some scenes are like that.

JUST ONE???!! *holds head, groans* @Mark-Kamibaya um… can I pick twenty? What?! Why not??
Oh dear… okay… hm. I really like It’s a Wonderful Life. For flat-out timeless, that’s probably on the top of my list. There are others I really love, but that one never gets old.

@Michael-Stanton undoubtedly the forum and the home page. I just keep both separately open in my browser and reload the page as necessary.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien yes, I’m afraid I have a reputation for turning very respectable people into nutcases… *sigh* I don’t mean to. It just… happens.

@Anna-Brie ha! Yes, I have— I didn’t remember that until just now. 😀

Come to think of it, I guess that wasn’t an observation so much as it was… philosophy. Hm. Is there a difference?

@Christi-Eaton hm, you have a point… 😛

@WarrioroftheRealm yeah. What he said. 😛

Oooh boy I am really not the person to be giving advice on editing. 😛 But let me see what I can do… hm… *thinkthinkthink* How did I overcome this problem?
*makes wry face* Did I even have this problem?
Well yes… in some small measure anyway. Okayyyyy… I’ll give this a shot. It’s easy to view editing as simply a drudgery— boring because…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper I’m still writing but I think I’m not gonna race, because I’m getting to a really tricky plot-twist and I need to concentrate without feeling rushed. Good luck though. 😀
