I would never aspire to your level of greatness oh wise one.
In my defense, I did leave three mini archs sitting on the floor. The entrance and returns are there. All done with my cast of extras. I could have milled another 4 or 5 chapters out of it.

I have a wife and 2 kids that I can only attribute to a wiggle, a giggle, and the realization that she was out of my league so I might as well be happy with her as a friend. 24 years marriage later, I can't imagine life without her. -Me 10/7/09

I'm pretty satisfied with what I sent in but man, some of you have made me second guess everything. I only did about 1700 words and didn't really do research. I'd say it was because my prompt meant I didn't really need it but... What if it's just because I'm a lazy writer? *cue existential writer crisis*

You aren't lazy... my research was emailing other folks (and Piggy) hey, what's the British equivalent of ...
When you read my chapter you notice a complete avoidance of
* location names
* descriptions of things
* language idioms not critical to context.
Y'all only get a few hours. Unless you live or frequently visit a scene, it will be hard to get it right. I take the cowards way out, but I'll stand by my method until Piggy kicks me out.

I wonder if you got the same chapter as me?
It'll be interesting to compare, tomorrow.

As a professional, you, are your one and only asset. Without integrity you are worthless, but with it, you are priceless.

I've just sent mine. 4,500+ words - I really can't do concise or pithy, I'm afraid. Let me know if you don't get it, pigfender. And thanks for the fun again!

Hi,
I sent my chapter in at 19.31 precisely.
Am happy to have written The End on something.
Thanks for the experience!
