Sunday, February 8th: 284 words.Writing: Some bullshit short about grocery shopping, just to get the ball rolling. Exhaustion cut me short.
Mod
More like I made my goal a plateau that I had already surpassed when I got to thinking: "What should my goal be?" I'm cheap like that. In any event, thank you for the welcome. I appreciate it.
Monday, February 9th: 292 words.Writing: Depressionesque zombie lit that I have very poorly described.
Mod
way to go Matt :]
Thanks. Sooner or later I'm going to need all the encouragement I can get.
Mod
Thanks a lot. Show me the ropes. What do we do around here?Tuesday, February 10: 231 words (ugh)
Writing: Fellatio, cup cakes, daddy issues.
Is that all in one story? I'm intrigued
Mod
We write, eat, dance, and read amazing stories.
Networking is very important, and we do a lot of that...But, mostly, we write :)

It seems like there's a good deal of support around here. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be needy at some point or another. I sometimes have very little motivation.

No lolz I haven't been able to stick with one story just yet. That'd be a little strange, I guess.
Wednesday, February 11: 262Writing: observant children, God, and matches.

If you are looking for inspirational muses...this group is overflowing with them.
Rather like the Borg in that aspect, we are the collective...and resistance to inspiration is, after all, futile.
Thursday, February 12: 801Writing: alcoholism, old friends, filial disputes.
That was a fluke, and it's probably the shittiest stuff to date.
Friday, February 13: 208 D;Writing: Thing-inspired paranoia, trading galley, the antithesis to The Terror
This is getting difficult. I wake up for work, I get home at around 10, and then I don't have much time to write. It's brutal.
I hear ya Matt, I work 3-11:30 and it's tough to get up so i can squeeze in some writing before work. Sometimes i write when i get home but i'm easily distracted.
Mod
Who needs to eat when they can have "food for thought" instead :)
Keep up the great work. Remember, if you can write one page a day, but the end of a year, you will have written a novel.
Happy Valentine's Day
Yeah, I'm working 12-10 these days, usually, with only a 30 minute lunch break. It's a bitch, in a totally non-misogynistic way.I'm trying to keep it up. A week will be an achievement for me. Thanks for the encouragement.
Alas, I cannot maintain. Thanks for the encouragement while I tried.
Exeunt.
Mod
Just shorten your word count, do not exit stage left. How about writing 100 words on the weekend? Or...maybe 25 words a day.
We are here for you :)
yeah, mark, don't give up. just adjust your goal to fit your life
:( I think he left. Leslie did that too...
He might come back...reminds of a story about a cowboy...
Mod
i'm an underachiever, so i'm going to set my mark at 200 words a day. i'm in the middle of writing something that already exceeds this limit, but lest i fail and be expelled from the group, it's safer to go with the 200. (and no, i don't typically write like ee cummings, i'm just too exhausted for proper capitalization and some grammar.)
