All you really need to do is produce one sizeable chunk of writing; then you can spend the rest of your life just going back to fiddle.

Excellent, now all I need is a sizeable chunk of writing! :D
On that note, I have a pathetically dismal 56 words to add today. Job applications be stealing all of my words. It makes me sad :(

But you're about a third of the way towards your goal though :nods: Small word counts might be sad but the overall picture is looking good.
Exactly right. Yay for ANY words.

Include them in your word count. I would, but then I fail miserably at any kind of writing. :P

Ahahaha Deb, thanks but I think I'll pass on that idea :p
Still no more words, I promise I'll write something tomorrow though.
This is good news. Poor Daryl needs a burial or something--I imagine he's stinking up the place. :nods:

Meh, one of the other guardians'll sort him out eventually. :P I'm more concerned with how to get Prisca trapped in a decontamination tank.
(Read: I don't know exactly how I want what I want to happen next to happen but I know I want Prisca trapped in a decontamination tank, so I'm just gonna jump to that. XD )
Fair enough, I do the same thing all the time. [act]wispishly throws another character into a decontamination tank[/act]

I changed my mind, I think an atmospheric simulation chamber will serve my purposes better. Mwahahaha. XP
In any case, I got 206 words down today. Not great, not awful, (the words I mean). In any case, here they are:
The sound of Prisca’s cough’s was interrupted by a loud ringing at the end of the corridor. Clutching at her chest, she stumbled towards the sound.
The sound came from a telephone attached to the wall.
Prisca lifted the receiver to her ear.
“Oh god, oh god, oh god,” came the voice from the other end. “Umm, hi!”
The speaker was spared Prisca’s wrath over such a comment as the warrior doubled over in another bout of coughing.
“Wow, that sounds really bad. Sorry. But I mean, you were here to kill me…”
“Does this conversation have a point?” Prisca gritted out between her coughs.
“Oh, right. Sorry.” The speaker babbled. “I released chlorine gas into the air conditioning system - should be around several tens of parts per million. Without treatment it could be fatal.
“You have two options. Either leave the area of exposure and hope the exposure was low enough for you to recover, or, you could go down a couple of levels and climb into the atmospheric simulation chamber, in which case I could administer a treatment.”
“Why?” Prisca wheezed.
“Why what?”
“Why administer the treatment?”
“Well, among other things, I don’t want to call the wrath of Rome down on my head.”
Total word count: 1800/5000
I think I like whoever the caller is. They sound quite fun, though I don't imagine Prisca shall agree with me. :P

Oh, they're going to be such good friends. Such, such, good friends. [act]evil cackle[/act]
I've just added 352 words to the section preceding the above. I haven't made up a thing of geekery for Poss to obsess over yet, so for the purposes of this post, I'm subbing in ober refs for shits and giggles.
“See, what you should have said was; ‘There’s a problem with the computer network and I think you should just go and finish reading [The Red Queen] instead of running the experiment.' And then I would have done that and I would have died happily and maybe even found out [who the h’rayka is] before that, but no, you had to tell me that a Roman soldier’s here to kill me. And now I’m going to die and –“
Priorities. Poss has them :nods:

HaHa! And today we pass the half way point! :D
Today I add 420 words and Prisca's outraged cry of "HOW MUCH SUPERGLUE DO YOU OWN!?!!" to the story.
Word Count: 2572/5000
I demand context to this 'HOW MUCH SUPERGLUE DO YOU OWN?' :P

No.
That was not directed at you Sionnain. In any case, Poss is glueing Prisca to things. You know, as you do. Unfortunately, I can't say that Prisca is all too happy about it - and she doesn't even know all the things she's been glued to yet.
It's all perfectly logical I assure you. :nods:

Thank you ^^;
To..yesterday I'm adding another 263. Unfortunately, they're mostly disconnected sections of dialogue, but hey, it's something to work from the next time I'm stuck :D
Word count: 2835/5000
All I ever write is disconnected dialogue. It's totally prose :nods: Great work thu far.

I may have a problem.
That problem being that I only really have one well-developed male character. And I decapitated him.
Poor Daryl.
Like, I don't really know how much of a problem this is, but I only have two other male characters that aren't just randoms, and one's meant to be kind of off stage and I haven't really decided what I want to do with the other one yet...and even counting them, the gender ratio's three to one, which at the very least doesn't bode well for a genetically diverse population.
