It's done

Have you ever had one of those nights when the words just seem to flow? You can't stop yourself from letting the story come out? I was lucky enough to have one of those nights last night. After finishing with Musha, I decide to break out the first line of the new novel (which I'd written down on the stub of a movie ticket), and from there, woosh! 40,000 words later, and I've got a first draft. Who knew a person could write so much in one night? Here's a quick excerpt of what I accomplished:

Happy April Fool's Day. ;) I only *wish* I could do 40,000 words overnight. I think kazaraxa is right: we need writer's elves. I mean, if the shoemaker had them, why not us?

I just checked to see what it was you drank before sitting down with the first line of a novel and finishing it in one night. Cuz I want me some of that!

Hee hee - nice. I've already been fooled once so I am on "cautious" mode.

So close and yet so far. :Þ

I don't suppose y'all rewrote Musha for Spycraft?

Ha! Cute, but lacks imagination and planning. i meant to reveal to people this whole Australia thing was an April Fools joke but overslept so I have to live on the streets of Boston for another year. Now that...is commitment to a good joke.

Nope, just d20--with some additions of backgrounds and bloodlines to spice things up. :)

Hmmm.... must have been one of those crazy caffiene drinks. Maybe... Brawndo!

I woke up with warning of April Fool's, so I'm proud to say that no one got me all day!

If you hadn't had such trouble getting rid of your condo, I might believe you. ;)
