It seemed a very fluid name, easy to remember, and fit him well.
Word count: 620

Total word count for the day: 620

It's funny that I'm using this story to rack up the word count, seeing as I don't really know where it's going. I just write and it just happens. =)

Gah, another last minute day! I think maybe Chrissy's catching up on all that sleep she missed! I hope she wakes up soon and helps me write! I need another 1000+ word day or I'm not going to make my goal! *nudges fairy*


message 409: by Paige (new)

Paige Miller | 4362 comments *hands Elaine huge barrel of pixie dust*

Here. Stick Chrissy in that and she should wake up and want to write.

WARNING: PIXIE DUST CAN CAUSE EXPLOSIVE SNEEZING AND INCESSANT GIGGLING IF INGESTED. CALL PAIGE AKA TINK IMMEDIATELY IF SUCH REACTIONS OCCUR.

Elaine (caladhiel) | 1020 comments THANK YOU SO MUCH, TINK!!!!!!!! Now where is that fairy...?


message 411: by Paige (new)

Paige Miller | 4362 comments LOL *gets out muse detector*

DUN DUN DUN DUN!


message 412: by Snow (new)

Snow (kdskid007) lol, i got the 5th Gardella book. the first one is called... *goes to check* "The Rest Falls Away" and OMG it ROCKS ^^ plus, plenty of fun romance stuff ^^ kinda like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, back in the... 18th or 19th century. i can nvr remember which XD


message 413: by Paige (new)

Paige Miller | 4362 comments Really?

A trick to remember the century is to remember that it is always one century later than the the first two digits.

ex. 1600's= 17th Century
1700's= 18th century
1800's= 19th century
1900's= 20th century
2000's= 21st century

etc, etc, etc


message 414: by Snow (new)

Snow (kdskid007) yeah, bt i dont remember what the century is. im not mixing them up cuz i dont know if its century or yr, i ust dont member if its 18th or 19th century. lol, i stopped confusing years and centuries last yr, during ap us history ^^


message 415: by Paige (new)

Paige Miller | 4362 comments Oh, that makes sense.


message 416: by Andrea (new)

Andrea | 620 comments Sounds like you're doing really great on your word count, Elaine. Don't let a couple of off-days upset you. I've just had several, hence my just now commenting on this :)

message 418: by Elaine (new)

Elaine (caladhiel) | 1020 comments I found my writing buddy and dipped her in the fairy dust that Tink gave me! After a fit of coughing, she woke up and sat and watched me write. I think she must have inhaled some though, because she was giggling the whole time and I ended up writing about someone yelling at a gold fish, "I hate you!" and then feeling guilty about it. Oh, Chrissy! She tries to help. =)

Elaine (caladhiel) | 1020 comments Tink, do you know what to do for Chrissy? I think she inhaled some of your pixie dust and her giggling fits are starting to get out of control! For such a little fairy, she sure can hold a lot of laugh!


message 432: by Paige (new)

Paige Miller | 4362 comments Uh oh...

*hands Elaine anti-giggle potion*

WARNING: THIS POTION CAN CAUSE LONG PERIODS OF SERIOUSNESS AND UN-FUN IF TAKEN IN TO LARGE A DOSE. GIVE ONE SPOONFUL AT A TIME UNTIL GIGGLES STOP.

Paige Miller | 4362 comments :) I have my own room, but it's tiny. :( My little brother's room is twice the size of mine! All I can fit is a armoire, my bed, my nightstand and my bookcase.



UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish I had a tiny room growing up, too, but thankfully, it was ALL MINE!


UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish Imagine my daughters who had to share. They were 10 years apart!


UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish Yep, and the younger wouldn't keep her hands off the olders things, but like I told the older, if it's important to you, put it away.

Love your siblings, someday they will be all you have left of your parents.

Elaine (caladhiel) | 1020 comments Sharing a room isn't all bad, but I still feel for you. I have my own room (a large one too!), but I've had to share rooms before. Hope everything goes well with your new home Cat!
