I have to go run a couple of errands, shop for groceries and clean the apartment, so I think I'm going to have to put the story aside for a bit so that I can get all of that out of the way.

The goal for today is to finish chapter seven and get at least half if not all of chapter eight done. I'm trying to be realistic for a change instead of all, "I'm going to write the entire book TOMORROW!" or whatever which, hell, is probably part of what's been fucking me up the past few months. The thing is, if I can keep up this pace for the rest of May -- *crosses fingers* -- I can get damn close to finishing the book AND beef up my GYWO numbers.

I also really need to sit down and write my apocalyptothon assignment, which I have in my head and need to get out before I forget where I'm going with it. You can tell I've gotten deeply into the new story because it just occurred to me that I hadn't checked the apocalyptothon email account in a week. Oops. *headsmack*

Have I mentioned lately that I love you guys? And that I love writing? And that I love EVERYTHING? I feel like I've been doused in the pink ooze from Ghostbusters II. BWEEEEEEE. I'm fucking giddy. I think that may be why I'm pounding away at this story like I am, and why I'm really not ready to show it to anyone just yet. Because I'm thrilled to be writing again, and I love my main character and her story, and I think I may be a little terrified I'm going to show it to people and nobody's going to like Vera as much as I do. *snuggles her protectively, perks up when Vera snuggles back*

Speaking of, new story tag! Heh.
