I didn't reach my goal of 700 words because of a surprise Christmas party, but I have managed to get 400 down. Yay!
On the down side, the more I write, the more I realise how slowly it's moving and how incredibly boring it is :P Oh well. I guess I'll just have to keep working away at it.

slow and boring are ok so long as there are words.
... On the up side, I have managed another 500 words today...
On the not so up side, I no longer know what my novella is about. You know the character who went missing? Yeah, well he's shown up, but he's drunk... and he's only meant to be 15 or something... oops.
Somebody has to come and kill me now or I will write more of this crap :P
It has been a while, but I have collected quite a few words. Assuming the words can be from many different projects and stories, I have a grand total of [act]drumroll[/act] 9431 words! So, almost half of my goal :D Mind you, I haven't come close to finishing anything and I don't think I will :P
Well done Vestie, half way there is a good place to be! You've done a lot more than I have and a lots of projects are good, as long as you eventually end a few.
I've hit 15 298 words! Yay! I've started yet another project, but it is way more fun than the other ones and I think I might actually stick with it :P
So, I've written some random short stories and bits and pieces of this new project which has been quite fulfilling :nods: Fun, fun, fun! I'm an evil Herb who wants to kill everyone! Yay! [act]passes out[/act]

Wow, awesome word count!
And while the new Herb story is awesome, I still want to see Matthew and Carling hugs. Or at least Saige and Adrian ones.
Aaah, I have so many words to ctach up on D: But I have to come in and agree with Darga. Matthew and Carling need hugs. Very long hugs considering how long Shonk has been waiting [act]narrows eyes[/act]
What if I promised Saige and Adrian hugs instead? And then Saige and another character I'm planning hugs after that? Then possibly back to Saige and Adrian hugs? Would that compensate for my lack of Carling and Matthew hugs?
Or perhaps I can work Matthew into my new Herb story... but he and Carling are introduced way later, so you're still going to have to wait a while :P [act]cowers in fear of a CarlingxMatthew-hug-deprived Shonk[/act] One day you will get your hugs, I swear!
I think all of the above sound good. Hugs for Saige and Adrian/other random characters AND Matthew being introduced into the story.
I'm still waiting for my hugs [act]taps foot[/act]
Just give the girl hugs, already, Vestie. We'll never hear the end of her whinging if you don't. [act]bats eyelashes innocently, not at ALL also wanting hugs[/act]
No hugs, but I can probably do an execution. They're always fun :D
I've got 16 668 words! Yay! Not that much more than last word check, but I'm getting closer and closer to 20k! Only 3332 more words to go!
[act]cheers[/act]
Yet, I don't recall nearly 17000 words being posted in Prodders, Vestie. [act]raises eyebrow[/act] How do you expect Shonk and I to be convinced that so many really exist if you don't post? We might be tempted to do just a leeetle more prodding, unless such proof manifests.
I've given you thousands of words! You will just have to be satisfied with the bits I post :nods:
You know Darga and Shonk, they are NEVER satisfied! But congrats on your huge word count, maybe you'll consider a google documents thing like me, to stick it to these two! But maybe you should just hold out, and make them [strike]suffer [/strike] I mean, learn patience :nods:
And speaking of which... [act]remembers Daniel[/act] Haven't had anything from you recently, boyo. Hop to it! [act]chases, waving cattle prod around[/act]
I'm still waiting on hugs. Only 3500 words in which to fit them too. Better work it out Vestie :P
[act]sigh[/act] No hugs yet, my dear Shonk. But I can give you a link now :D PM me for a GoogleDoc link which you should only need the link to access. I'm pretty sure the link works and everything, so it should be good. Mind you, I only have about 3250 words on there (only the stuff that comes at the start).
It's good seeing all those snippets together, Vestie. It's got a nice flow to it, and you speak to the Herbs' hopelessness very well.
So, I think you said this was not really a prequel or a sequel to the other Herb story - just an alternate kind of universe for Saige?
Yeah, it's pretty muc hjust using the same characters and same kind of world. I'm just using my novella as a basic outline. In this new one, I've added the imprisonment in Jolon and the Roses are more ruthless in their rule. Later on there will be more stuff that's new, but it's the same sort of world. I'm even planning to reuse Monricah :P
SEND ME LINK SEND ME LINK [act]flails[/act]
It has been a while... and I only have 100 words to show for it ~:| I'll try to get some more tonight and put them up in my link but I'm stuck on what to write about! Ugh. Why does Jolon have to be so boring and isolated?
