Pep Talk #3

Jun 23, 2009 14:02

Hello everyone! We're into the final week, so here we are -- the third pep talk!

I also realize that some of you are already done with your stories, or are getting close to the end. Yes, we do have certificates for everyone. More specifically, Troll has certificates for everyone. He doesn't trust me with them ( Read more... )

From where I'm sitting right now (the comfy love seat that refuses to let go of me), you won the 50,000+ mark because you got us started. You are responsible for a lot of words and stories being written this month so you're the top winner.

I didn't make the 50,000 mark and not even going to try. Considering what I had to deal with this month, I'm thrilled that I got anything written. Still when this month is over with, I'm going to popping that bottle of wine open and celebrating all of us. It's going to be a drunk!party with all the TW team and writers with the baby towels sipping their very own bottle of grape juice.

*blushes* I didn't get this started, I just spread the word, silly.

And I know you've had a lot going on this month, but I am so completely proud of you for starting Choices! And I'll so be drinking with you and the babies and the team.

You may not have started this thing but with you spreading the word like you have, you got us started.

And Tosh decked Jack a few moments ago, right in front of everybody. The women of TW know how to defend themselves. *grins*

I got red, white, blackberry, a grape juice bottle. Take your pick or try all four with me. *grins*

Save me four glasses. *grins as well*

*shakes pom poms* Everyone's doing so great!

Shake those pom poms, girl! I know! I'm so very thrilled!

I have to second what Ginger is saying ... there are tons of stories written and novels started because of you :-)

It's not all about word count .... yes some of us hit it early but I'd like to finish this third story and it may not happen (RL) - but Beth started writing again, Ginger is starting a multi-parter epic, and there are other really great stories out there ... it's about writing and that's what we're all doing ... cause of you kid!

gracie_musica June 23 2009, 21:40:37 UTC

Not because of me, silly, because of Troll!

Some people see it as word count -- especially people who do NaNo. But you're right, as long as it's getting started, then we've won the battle, right?

I think everyone is doing fantastically!!! WHOO HOOOO

gracie_musica June 27 2009, 07:27:35 UTC

They are! *cheers along with you!*

You've done a fantastic job getting everyone writing, there was a point when my bunnies did a bunk for three days and i thought i'd never make it, but i did and i have my hands on that glorious certificate!!!!

Good luck to everyone who's still writing and heading for the 50,000, you CAN do it!

ickle18 gave up because her fic ended after 20,000 words ... then she had a bright idea a couple of days ago and is trying to write the other 30,000 for a new fic in the remaining days ...

*hugs tight* I am so proud of you! 50K is so awesome! (I'm aiming for about 35K now, there's absolutely no feasible way to hit 50. But I am thrilled at how well DKoM is falling into place and it's just banging along!)

And YAY for ickle starting another story! Troll was highly amused, and said he's cheering her on too with the rest of us.

missthingsplace June 27 2009, 17:30:16 UTC

I'm proud of myself, i really never thought i'd do it! Shame you're not going to make the 50,000 mark (Are you sure???), looking forward to the next chapter of DKoM.

I have no idea if she'll manage to finish by the end of the month but she was going great guns, She took her laptop to her grandparents last night and has been there all day, so fingers crossed she's got some more written.

gracie_musica June 27 2009, 18:31:07 UTC

I'm not even at 25K yet, there's no way I'll do it in three days. *is optimistic but also a realist* I'm shooting for 30-35K or two more chapters of DKoM, whichever comes first.

*cheers for ickle!* I'm so happy she did it and finished a whole story!
