I attempted to finish a book this weekend. Now I am attempting to finish a book this week. I have been chronicling my writing progress on twitter (at all times, you can trust that I am somewhere on the internet). Here are some of the highlights:

This blog is going into radio silence until next Sunday night because I HAVE TO FINISH THIS BOOK. I want it DONE. But because I am locked into five billion social networking sites, I am unable to silence myself entirely, so if you want to follow my progress, I’m sure I’ll be twittering about it every step of the way. Mostly because I guess I am still in the honeymoon twitter phase (120 updates since early June! I must be the most annoying twitterer ever!). Anyways. I’ll be getting back to emails and doing my best to keep up with you wonderful lot but for the most part, I’ll be getting MY FACE EATEN BY A NOVEL, IF I DON’T EAT ITS FACE FIRST.
SO WISH ME LUCK BECAUSE GOD I NEED IT.

Ok, that makes two of us!! I HAVE to finish these revisions THIS WEEK! I was supposed to finish this weekend…dammit. Things like eating and going out into daylight are starting to become major annoyances. They stand in the way of my words! Word.
If you finish, I’ll finish!! :D :D :D Ah, delusion!!
BEAT THAT BOOK’S ASS, COURTNEY! You can do it!
Nova: Thank you! And to you and your outline! We can do this! *Rocky music*
Briony: Thank you, my C-P! I need it!
Emily: WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER! AND WE NEED A THEME SONG.
Ula: AHAHHA. I’m trying! Thank you!!!
How about Sex Bomb?
Hahahahaahahahahahahahaha, I kill me.
Go, Woman!
Hello, hello, and good luck!
*Wishes Courtney luck all wrapped up in a package under a Christmas tree* I know what that feeling’s like – you just want to finish something so badly you don’t care what it takes.
Interesting way to take out your frustration, though. ;)
There is a lot of face-eating on this blog. ::holding hands over face::
Good luck, good luck, good luck.
Thank you, everyone, for the luck! It was needed.
But… ultimately, I failed my goal. SIGH.
(Emily, Sex Bomb should totally be it!)
