That's nice, Brett. Meanwhile, I'm hoping for a JaNuEdMo marathon this weekend at some point, but I can't say when or how yet.

This is it. Between updating the RP sections every couple of hours, I intend to start editing the crap out of my story. First order of business is finishing descriptions of people and working them into the text, next I go through beginning to end making everything mo' nicer.
I think. If I can. My fingers feel weird.

CHRIS NEEDS A NEW TITLE, so vote? "Swine and Camus" - too similar to this? "Don't be Tardy" - Kelly's idea! "Son Rocher est sa Chose" - so pretentious! "Your Idea Here" - you know you wanna! ---and, good night.

I'm partial to Swine and Camus - at this point in time, it's hard to think of a title that doesn't resemble something already out there (and referenced on the internet.) I just wrote a vignette titled "First Ride of the Day," which is one word away from a Nightwish song.

I'm leaning to Swine and Camus too. Perhaps something connected to absurdism?
Two days with Camus, is just an off the cuff idea .

"Absurdism and a Pistol" - jokey reference to ancient anti-drug story "Marijuana and a Pistol" "Two Days With Camus" - Indea's idea! "Christopher Seems Pathologically Unable to Edit This Joint" - inspired by a true story!
But srsly, this is pretty tough. How about u guys?

It's pathologically slow on my end, too. I'll probably pick up the pace when things become more desperate. Stress is a good motivator.

Yeah... about 1 month to go now until the deadline, unless I'm remembering that wrong. Also, at the end of this month, they're announcing the winners for the Wrimo Accelerator prize and though I'm sure it ain't me on one level, I'm all tweaked out about it anyway. I guess I'm not in contests very often.

I'm going slowly, but at least all the chapters will be finished by the 14th. It would be nice to start posting here again with the new stuffs.
No surprise here, but I'm not one of the winners either. I think they bit off more than they could chew. It doesn't get better than you guyseses novels.

I want to finish it, got to try and start it. All your stories, DeeK, Chris and Kelly were amazingly good, it's their loss.

SWEET FANCY MOSES! FEBUEDMO NEVER ENDS!
DeeK, I'm muddling through the formatting process / nightmare, and think we should try to share our experiences about that here. Hopefully one person's pain helps spare the others.
I downloaded the templates and got the cover stuff finished - Or did I? Apparently, there was supposed to be a spine design that I didn't have a template for. Did they skip that because it's a rather variable proportion? As for the word processor template, I can't get all the little formatting quirks to do what I want - particularly page numbering at this point keeps wanting to just alternate. How many books have you seen that are numbered 1,2,1,2? I'm stuck using Open Office, not that fucking with Word seems especially more appealing from where I now stand.
How's it going for you? Did you finish and submit?
