I'm stealing almost everything I do today from San. The title and the format. Since everyone loves my book, and since this is the first official post I'm putting in my livejournal and blogger accounts, here's the semi-self-explanatory rundown of how the writing's going:

Noble Quest...
Words today: More or less 1000
Words total: More or less 73k
Reason for stopping: Reached my goal and was hungry.
Favorite: "You're obsessive-compulsive," Shay said.
"So's the Count on Sesame Street," Sarah answered. "I'm in good company."
Abusing my power: One of my characters is a frustrated writer. I know, I know.
It's aliiive!: Every time I get these two characters in conversation, even when I end up deleting it all, it really flows. I think it's the ability to think in modern pop culture references rather than fantasy-mind-mode.
Embarrassment: Looking at San's blog numbers. Am I the only person in my writing group who takes two hours to write one thousand words and thinks that's good?
