I've realized that motivating yourself can be one of the hardest things to do, even when it's doing something you love =P It seems like a contradiction, but things don't always go as you think they will

Added you on the nano site. I got about 8hrs left for me =P ha I know your real name! Even where you live! Lol, I could stalk you...one problem how do I get there? With what money?
Sorry for the double post but I just had to say: Wooot first 1800s word it took me just under 3hrs time now being 2:45
And I accidentally deleted a bit and had to do it over, no matter I think its better!
So frikkin happy....gonna go back to word now =P
Edit: also you're doing your book on the Requiem Dawn? Well that's what you called it anyway. Me, I still don't have a name for mine but its set on a land of coastal cities and islands and you guessed it the sea its self... I might post a little bit of it here. Can I trust you guys? Lol I know I can. I may or mayn't do it later.
Anyway back to word as I said before.
Just thought I'd through it out there, but the Skysail Treasures Company Thread has 71325 words. Should enter nano as a collective. lol
It can't already be written, if I am correct.
True. I just thought it neat to see how far we've gotten in the thread...
Awesome! Lol I have just over 4000 words now loooong way to go
Hmmm funny I seem to remember you telling me some thing different once, meaning a particular MSN conversation.Quote:

Its just every RP I enter on the other site seems to die so quickly as it 2/3 weeks if that, though I managed to keep my own thread open for nearly four now so I'm not doing so badly at being a GM I think. Anyway I'm all written out for now, I think my fingers are lead, they certainly feel like it. I bought a new laptop especially for nano yesterday its got windows 7 and its Awe....Some! Good for anything I need it for anyway, games and RPing, and writing too.
What I wrote here, the part you quoted, was in reference to NaNo. NaNo is an exercise in discipline and endurance. Here, we ask for quality over just writing words. It's an important distinction to remember =P
I don't know how you've been writing so much already. Today is Nov 1 for me, and I'm just starting. Anyways, if you want, clean up your first 1000 words that you've written if you want and post them here, and if you've improved then we can welcome you back to Skysail.
Oh but that means I have to count them! Manually I think, still working out the kinks with the new word, there maybe a way and all grammar should be correct already due to spell checking when I couldn't write any more. I will double check it and all that jazz.
Gec: How many words have you got?
I am sorry to all for my absence. I went on vacation to visit my grandparents. Sadly my grandfather passed away shortly after we arrived. Between the services and consoling my family I have not been in the right mindset to post really anything. I will be home friday and I should back on the boards this weekend. Again sorry all if I am holding up progress in Sky
I'm not even gonna say any thing to that... I barely lost my grandmother a week ago...
Sorry to hear that Drice.
Unfortunately a similar thing happened in our family and this happening between working late (had 16 hours of work day the other day, yay) all week it's been impossible for me to get something up.
Don't worry. It's just good to know you guys are OK.
Drice - sorry to hear that, chap. Tough luck, that. My grandfather passed a while back, and he was truly my best friend. He and I shared some special times; as I'm sure you've spent some special ones with your own. Don't worry 'bout us. We'll be fine. Spend time on who counts in your life right now. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if we take a very back seat. :)
Drice, sorry, again, to hear it. wish the best for ya, but things can only go so well, yeah? Try not to let it get you too down. The most I regret is misunderstanding my grandrather's death for something to mourn a lot over. In his state of living (perhaps not for your own) it was a blessing for him to pass as he did. In the end it was rather selfish of me to cry a lot over. I should have been happy for him, not suffering anymore as he had.
to each his own.

I'm in Vietnam. Should have a lot more freedom now to post than previously. If just for the internet working more. Next three days i'll be in a place called Ha Long Bay. Won't, I expect, have internet access; though in these parts, who knows?
