I had a six-day work week this past week, which wasn&#8217;t bad before I got internet back on Thursday&#8230;heh, guess what I spent all Thursday night doing? ;D 4k left doesn&#8217;t sound too bad when it just turned the 29th here, but like I mentioned above I have a business trip on the 30th and 31st and have to take my crappy little laptop with me that will shit itself at the thought of opening Word, let alone verifying a huge 50k document. So I hope to have it finished by the time I leave! It&#8217;ll happen, I&#8217;ll just have to sit down tomorrow and pound out that 4k in little 1k increments<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">. <\/span>I still wrote 12k this past week and that&#8217;s nothing to sneeze at.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><\/p>\n<p>CROSS\/\/Revenge<\/p>\n<p><\/span>Reread the first 100 pages that I&#8217;ve written so far to refresh myself on where i&#8217;m at so I can get to work on drafting a bit of an outline for the remainder. I&#8217;m still not quite sure where in the story I&#8217;m at, or what kind of climax I want it to have a the end. I&#8217;m not worried though &#8211; this is how CROSS\/\/Rebirth started in the writing process, and I ended up writing a climatic conclusion that I&#8217;m very happy with in terms of events and characterization. Sad lack of gratuitous porn, however. How am I supposed to be amused by the such easter eggs I leave myself when there aren&#8217;t any?!
