Me. :( I have trouble starting things, I know, but once I get past the opening chapter or two, things start spewing. It's just getting over that hump. (Even though I know where it's going, have a rough outline of plot, etc.)

Anyone else in the same predicament?

I know where you're coming from; know about the hump. It didn't help me that my hard disk ground to a halt day 2 and took three days to fix. So now, with "new" lightning fast macbook I'm charging up the hump anew. :P

Suck. Computer issues suck mightily. Good that you didn't lose anything, though.

Onward!

May I suggest that Mr K is not "behind", he is "a behind"?

I'm behind. I'm very behind. Ugh. Still, it's still only the 6th, so there is still plenty of time to catch up, I hope. :D

You can't be behind if you don't start.
