I'll admit I've been focusing on other projects lately. I'd already started the story when I signed up, so it's about 8000 words total, 500 new since I signed up.

Don't need help - just need to get some other stuff done first.

That's fine, bb. You got until June when the first drafts are due. And even ten it doesn't have to be completely finished. So you got time.

1. How’s your word count so far? - only 6,500. swim season just ended so i should be able to write lots more soon :)
2. Five words to describe your story - space. murder. mind control. conspiracy.
3. Favorite line from your story so far - "...it’s never easy to catch a planet-hopping, psychopathic serial killer."
4. Need any help or encouragement? - sure! help me not go insane :) also, when should we get a beta by? (i've read the answer to this somewhere, i'm sure)
5. How many stories are you planning to write at the moment? - for the big bang, just this one.

OMG! A mystery and in space?!?!

You can get a beta whenever you want to. You could wait until your finished or you could go get one now so you can discuss the story as it goes. And a beta will usually double as a cheerleader.

1. How’s your word count so far? - about 2,000

2. Five words to describe your story - simple arrangement made more complicated. (lol that's the best i can do on the description front)

3. Favorite line from your story so far - Brad grinned at him. “That’s right: honest to a fault.” He leaned in, and the swift surge of anticipation that gave Adam the sensation that his stomach was now an Olympic gymnast quickly settled-and was tinged with, oh God, disappointment?-as Brad merely kissed his cheek and sat back.

4. Need any help or encouragement? - i'm a notorious procrastinator. Some encouragement would be lovely.

5. How many stories are you planning to write at the moment? - Just the one!!

1. How’s your word count so far? - 1,694. Not too much yet.
2. Five words to describe your story - Poverty, LA, love, friends, stickingtogether-ness (Okay I cheated on the last one - describing it in five words is hard!)
3. Favorite line from your story so far -

He turned the lock on the door and fell onto the bed, staring up at the ceiling. It really needed to be repainted, just like all the other ceilings and walls in the building needed to be. The carpet could do with being replaced too. Everything was stained grey, everything. Right down to the curtains hanging over the window and the panes behind them. Even the sheets on the bed were dull.

4. Need any help or encouragement? - As ever!
5. How many stories are you planning to write at the moment? - Just the one, there's no way in hell I could do more o_o
