Ditto. My cunning plan follows a similar route but I have resisted he BT Google Urge so so far that's not been a problem.
Here goes. Best pen forward and all that!
Erm. I wrote 179 words yesterday...
Yeah, so ignore the woeful size of that contribution and just match it, okay? :-)
I love it!
What are "Whirl ideas?" That sounds like something interesting you should do a post about. (Well, you probably already have; I just met you, so I need to play in your archives!)
Janey, stay away from Troll Temptation!
365! Just over 100 too many for Clarity of Night. So now I have to take words away, giving you the opportunity to race ahead. Still, editing is writing, right?
Spy, no need to dig - Whirl is Whirlochre, a blogmonster, either brilliant or insane. For your delight, these are his suggestions for overcoming writer's block:
"Make yourself a hat out of crepe paper.
Daub your face in lippy and other whatnot (stage makeup if you have it).
Stand in front of the mirror.
Speak in tongues till your character has a voice it likes.
Sit down at the computer and roll a die.
Write
1) A love letter
2) Something mysterious
3) Anything p88 of the nearest book inspires you to think
4) Anything beginning 'The day I...'
5) What you smell in the nearest book/drawer/flowerpot/kangaroo
6) With cheese in your heart."
I think you can see why they're in the emergency package. For example, no. 6, which if taken literally would involve carving open my chest and inserting a slice of Edam inside. Mind you, it might work...
Woot, me! I did 950 words this morning. So the ball is in the Koala's court again.
*expectant look*
Cut out just over 100...
