So. tips of your fingers bruised from all the speed-typing?

Congrats on meeting (almost) your deadline! Now on to your speed-reading first readers...

You know if I could get 2700 words a day every day...

I would be exhausted.

[bondo-ba.livejournal.com]

Wow. Those 22K words sure came quickly! Congrats!

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

Now I have to go back and see how badly they suck! Still, plenty of time to repair it before the end of the month.

[joelarnold.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It was a hard haul.

[kmarkhoover.livejournal.com]

Woo hoo! It's always a good feeling with a story is finished....

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed. I think I'm going to reward myself with delivery for dinner tonight.

1. Congrats!!!! I'm so jealous... but so happy for you! As soon as it comes out, I'll buy a copy and read it. :) I'm curious how a weird west steampunk novella reads. Never read one before.

2. AWESOME icon. Heehee... so appropriate! Here's my 'over did it' icon.

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

I think right now the publisher is look at an end of October release.

I love that icon you used! Poor, tired hoppy bunny.

[mela-lyn.livejournal.com]

That soon? Fabulous!! Just make sure you post where we can get out hot little hands on it. :) (And by 'we', I totally mean that in the royal inclusive, of course...)

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

That soon, which is why I have been writing like the wind for the last two weeks.

Wish I had written that many words today, but instead (kicks stone) I had to go to stupid work...still, the evening awaits.

IMO, sometimes the title seems to come first and sometimes it turns out to be the last and most difficult thing to find. Does that happen to you?

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

Yes. Either I have the title right from the start, or I have hunt around and look for it after I've finished. Rarely do I start without a title and find it in the middle of the draft.

[beth-bernobich.livejournal.com]

Outstanding!

*applauds*

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

[pjthompson]

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

That was exhausting.

[cristalia.livejournal.com]

Wooo the draft!

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

[csinman.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I can't wait to read it.

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

i'm looking forward to reading everyone's stories.

[donein.livejournal.com]

Ta-da! Congratulations!

BTW, I think you somehow gave me what you had. I'm feverish, dizzy, and I have a stuffed up nose. Is this another way to have a computer virus?

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

There are several members of my flist right now who are sick with what I had. I probably shouldn't have coughed on the monitor while reading my friends list...
