Close - But No Cigar

[danceswithgary]

I came so close to my first year of writing goal - 400,000 words.

# of fics completed: 37
Challenge fics submitted: 18
Total words including WIPs: ~394,400

5600 words short.

Darn that pesky Gary, dragging me off to Toronto for a weekend in a lovely room, wandering art and music street festivals and Cirque du Soleil. It's all his fault. *grin*

Oh well, better luck next year.

I don't think I could think of a better reason to miss that goal. :D

[danceswithgary]

It certainly made it very easy to shrug and say "C'est la vie" while enjoying a fresh croissant! :-D

oh yes, darn that man, darn him to heck. I feel your pain...*koffnotkoff*

[danceswithgary]

I knew I could count on your sympathy, so I just rolled over in my king-size bed and looked out over the Toronto skyline, basking in the afternoon sunshine, daydreaming of CLex, instead of getting up and typing. :-D

*gasp*
*roxy gnashes teeth--sees her sarcasm has cost her dearly*

I feel your pain.

Oh wait, no I don't! ;-D

Glad you had a fun weekend.

The only bad part was the driving, which I hate. The mildly irritating part is that if he'd driven, I would have had 4 hours in the car to write and I would have come even closer to not making it. :-D

*laughs*

Things to remember for next time, huh? ;->

Wow, that's a huge number! I have no doubts you'll hit 500k by the end of the year. You're so prolific!

[danceswithgary]

It certainly would be cool if I made it and could say, "I've written half a million words!" :-D

Aww...what a horrible, horrible reason for not meeting your goal. :P

I hope you're having lots of fun this weekend.

We're back and I'm typing and plotting like crazy trying to finish the CLFF fic due tomorrow - eek!
