Round 86, Hour 22

[naemsie]

I heard of research, coherent words, and stray sentences. I think we're you're doing good, guys. What's happening this hour, I wonder?

Hallo! You usurped me, just barely. ^_^ *high fives* I have napped, woken up, and discovered that my therapist is down with a fever so family therapy is cancelled... :-( Now I have to sweep the floor. Such an exciting life. ;P

[naemsie]

Ha! Sorry :o)

Can you come sweep my floor, too? =D Jk—I've had a similarly exciting life today, so I hear you.

I figured out I was pussyfooting around my rough draft. Have now convinced myself that getting words on the page are more important than perfection [I'm thinking I need to make a sign.]. Also, I made more coffee, which should help.

How's the cake?

[justice_turtle]

Yay, rough draft! I have a 54k collaborative rough draft that I’m avoiding revisions on, but having a first draft that exists is so important. Much better than a blank page! :D

[naemsie]

Hooray for drafts! =)

[naemsie]

Good point. I'm a terrible perfectionist, too, so it's good advice for me as well! Now I just need to memorize it.

I'm about to frost it. It seems all right so far, which I didn't think was possible when I put it in the oven, lol. Carrot cakes … always an adventure.

I have reached the section of needing to write dialogue of a child. :/ I am no good at children.

[justice_turtle]

Ooh, that’s so tricky, especially getting the child to sound anything like the right age. :P I wish you luck. *offers glowstick*

[marginaliana]

I knooooow. I don't even have any nieces or nephews to judge from. I think I'm just going to wing it and then have someone beta with an eye to the child stuff.

[naemsie]

Ugh, that's quite some challenge! I'm no good at children either—but I have cookies, if you want one?

[marginaliana]

Yes, please! Cookies are always welcome.

[naemsie]

Here! I love to share!

[prisca]

So many words written today - congrats to everyone.

I've only managed to write a short story for a challenge at fffc. And now it's time to go to bed, didn't sleep well during the last nights and I'm sooo tired.

Hope to see all of you tomorrow though.

**waves goodnight**

[naemsie]

That's something, though! Good night, sleep tight! I'll be off in a minute, too.

[juliet316]

I was off making dinner.

[naemsie]

Dinner is extremely important!

[juliet316]

Yes, it is!
