An interesting post about how magic works in the Marvel universe.

The end is nigh! Probably tomorrow night/morning to be exact (4-6-09 to be even more precise.) Or maybe not. I’m not quite sure.

Good writing night. Once I got going, the words flowed, and I really didn’t want to stop, but I want to get up earlier than normal tomorrow.

Over 8,000 words in the past month, and almost 16,000 since I got going again… Wow, I have been consistent since the beginning of February. Which is a good thing, of course. Heh, half of the act has been written in the past two months.

Tonight or tomorrow night I will be finished! With this act, at least. Then I get to figure out what in the hell to do with the next act.

Another Laundromat night. Ran into a gay black man reading the book “Nigger.” At least I conjecture he was gay. I know he was black, and the book was his, so it’s pretty certain he was reading it. Unless he was just looking at the pictures… Which it might.

My guess is two thousand words more, although the way I’m writing, I’m not going to stick with that. Probably more. It wouldn’t surprise me if I’m able to pump out 4k-6k more.

I just realized that I need a title for the book. Oh well. I can get that later.

Bugger, bugger, bugger! I normally redundant out the arse, with at least 4 copies of my story on at any given moment (Treo, Mini, Laptop, Google Docs) but somehow, despite copying the story between my Treo and Mini… I lost the last edit of my story. It wasn’t that much, maybe 200 words max, but I completely lost my train of thought. I can’t remember what I was thinking. So, I try this again.

I will have more written by tonight, but I had something to get off my chest on my evil blog, and now I’m just tired.

I’m really digging the Mini now that I’ve changed the keyboard map. Didn’t write last night because of my angst, I still think I might finish Act 1 tonight. If not, it’s all good.

Quality night tonight. I’m thinking I might try to finish Act 1 before I leave vacation. 3 more nights to work on it. I am going to start rough drafting out the next act after I’m finished, although I might post a pdf of the rough draft for all the world to see. Have to decide.
