V nice, v nice, but must lift editor's hand and say that lightening = lightning. Pet peeve of mine, sorry. *hides*

And I agree with ghettopeach completely. Maybe bc I'm not going from scratch this year, but I just can't get into the groove; I'm only at 2300 as of last night, and who knows how much I can plod through tonight. Sigh. Plot, plot, I'm not good at PLOT, and I am unfortuantely in the v plotty portion of last year's novel. Hence why it's been sitting untouched for 11 months (aide from all the wedding stuff). Oy gevalt. Anyway, as far as writing shenanigans are concerned - this weekend the in-laws (hee!) are in town, and next weekend I'm off in the Bay - sorry! Maybe we can get together sometime during the week. Come over on your way home from work! We can order in Chinese or something and scribble away. Esp since's Matt's doing this too. It could be fun! Best of luck with keeping your wordcount up!
