Intermittent NaNo Progress Report #1

Total word count: 2,222

Reeking of awesomeness: They were disgusting creatures, the Revenants. Brutes, deserving of nothing but brutality. This one had been a pretty woman in life, I saw. Blonde hair fell across her chalk-white face, framing high cheekbones and pouty lips. Death hadn’t completely destroyed her looks, but it had sharpened them, honed then into something hard and cold.

Reeking of sucktitude: I shoved the corpse off of me and rose slowly, savouring the thrill of strength riding through me

Inadvertently misleading prose: I shoved the corpse off of me and rose. Not actually a reference to necrophilia.

haha! This is exactly why I won't be going back to read the nonsense I've written so far.

Way to go - btw - keep it up!

Lol, thanks! How are you doing?

I'm finding that my short attention span isnt helping. I've resorted to actually taking my internet dongle away from myself for a period of time as I write then when I reach a goal, I reward myself with sweets and internet.

Luckily I don't have internet distractions at home. I have to say, the temptation to write at work is almost overwhelming today. There's practically nobody around ... If only I didn't have a massive spreadsheet to fiddle with before Monday. Dammit!

Metrics are fun :-)

Have a lovely day! :-)

Nothing sexier than dead women's lips!

No, wait...

Gak! I'm behind, already! (Granted, the excuse I'm allowing myself is, "I was on a business trip from Tuesday through Friday", but I am hoping to get some catching up done, this weekend.

I didn't do anything yesterday, but I think today will be catching up day.
