If I wrote like this every day...
...I could finish, edit, and polish three books per year and still have time to sit around taking photos of my plecostomus.



I'm trying on other people's writing progress formats like hats... I semi-ganked [info]stillsostrange's this time::

Noble Quest...
Words today: 5,894!
Words total: 28,844
Reason for stopping: Take photos of pleco. (And the scene ended. Also, it turned into July 9.)
Favorite: The courtyard around the tower reeked, though it wasn't really a rotten smell. It was more of a thick, musty aroma, like wet grandma.
Abusing my power: A floral venereal disease (don't ask).
It's aliiive!: Jint decided he's afraid of heights, which will come in handy in about two plot points. Therefore, I approved his phobia and let him crawl on his hands and knees while the others pranced upright across a narrow, stone sky bridge.
Embarrassment: I wrote "stactatite."

28844 / 80000 words. 36% done!

That fish would take over the world, if only it had thumbs.

I had better get started making my list. I know you will want to shower your mommy with gifts when you are rich and famous, at least until it's time. ;)

Mom, I hate to tell you this, but writers do not get rich and famous. If they're extremely freaking lucky, they might be able to quit their day job and still be poor.

This is about advances.

Once your audience gets a taste of your brilliance, you will be writing and selling under 3 different names and at least one of your series will be so popular a bazaar toy company will offer you a deal so they can start making dolls of the characters (even though they may be creepy or X rated) and fun things to hang from rear view mirrors and key chains and the income from all of that stuff will allow you to take me on lavish trips to the jungles and far off beaches and we will stay in cheap motels even though you could afford lavish ones but we will eat only natural, healthy foods and our bond will be strengthened in enumerable ways and as an added bonus you will broaden my vocabulary (and work on my spelling too)!

(What does puerile mean?)

Puerile is one of my favorite words. ^_^ It means foolish or immature

And you are one of my favorite moms. This comment is hilarious and brilliant, and I will treasure it always.

Haha! I'm glad you like that. I wish you'd like the rest of the book, but I'm pretty sure you'll think it's just foul and puerile. I'll send it to you anyway, when I finish. ;)
