Novel-in-a-Day 5: Go Set A NiaD

Back up out of bed, about to start my revisions. I hope to have you a usable file in an hour. Word count shows 3416, I hope this mess will take a polish well.

Play list: Pandora is shuffling these stations: The Wailing Jenny’s, 16 Horsepower, Bow Thayer, The James Gang, Little Axe, Slainte Mhath, and The Dropkick Murphys.

Hey all, it’s morning here, had my coffee, reading things over and I have a question. Can I burn a building down in my chapter?

“burn that mother down!”

My God it needs so much work. I think I will be the last to submit. But it will be on time. Stress!!!

I still need to write most of mine… :confused:

Well, you’ve got FIVE HOURS. Plenty of time. :slight_smile:

The fourth chapter is IN!

five hours? What?!?

Was there Facebook in 1867? Or was it still MySpace back then?

I suspect everyone looks like this about now:

erm… yes, but as long as it’s not, the banks, the jail, the mayors office or the red boot saloon! Whatever you create, you can (and sometimes should) destroy!

:slight_smile:

I think they called it “the Electric Telegraph” back then, but it was probably mostly used for sharing funny stories about kittens.

In you brief, this link is included:

… in case you were feeling a little too relaxed. :smiling_imp:

Yeah, I see that. I didn’t realize it was all based on London time. I just opened it an hour ago. Talk about having a deadline.

Haha don’t worry. I thought this was next weekend, and only opened my writer email on a complete whim, luckily.

1020 words down! Should be 1500+ by the time I finish what I want to say :slight_smile:

Done and sent.

Yeah, I’m still trying to put the scene together. I have 84 words so far. It’ll go fast once I figure out what’s going to happen. I’m only panicking a little.

I’ve got tea, pie, and four hours of sleep. Time to finish this baby up. I feel like I’m going to be brushing right up against the deadline at this point. Heavy lesbian subtext takes a lot of work.

Well… I have bad news for everyone. Piggy’s system is going to die. I just sent in my “final” version.

I would like to apologize for the poor editing. Voice consistency will have have Ahab, Hugh and anyone with a brain hating it (Vick and nomnomnom should be ok with it). I think the basic premise is good and it reads “right”. I’m just out of time.

I did produce something that I feel is true to my “vision” and the the NiaD spirit. I did not bail on my commitment to Piggy or the rest of you.

I hang my neck stump in shame.
