I actually haven't found a proper writing tool on my computer, so I'm thinking of going to some secluded corner of the internet and writing it there.
Love me right now!
Done.

Something tells me you have to be just a little crazy to try something like this. But. Y'know. Good crazy =P

Try OpenOffice. It's basically Microsoft Office, but it's freeware. You don't have to pay anything for it, and it works just as well. That's what I'm using.

no progress since my last update. and apparently, I really need to do well on the essays I have to do this week. maybe I'll find time to write more next week. I did find dialogue went much faster than my exposition.

That makes two of us. The world pretty much conspired against me to prevent the completion of this book.

If I actually want to make a day's word count, half the time I have to unplug my router and toss it somewhere out of reach of the computer. x3

I had to drop out at 30,000 words after my dog got injured. It's just as well, I know I can do better on this story, I just don't have it all together yet
I'm sure the cold hand of science will be able to overcome his magical powers
