I seriously hope not.

Shhh! I meant that you studies are not as important, as long as you write this book!

448. Could've done better, but I got distracted  >:(

Aaand... ladies and gentlemen, this was my last appearance for the day! You may tune in for tomorrow's show at whatever-hour-I-am-online PM for the next word sprint series! Good night!

PS: I just feel the need to specify, for Kex, that I am not writing about aliens  ;)

EDIT: Darn, so close to the 18.000 mark! Only 210 words! I think I'll write for these ten minutes I have left before I go to sleep...

312, I think. I forgot where I actually started writing. I also reached the end of a prologue-y thing, and introduced what may or may not be a plot trinket. I'll find out, I guess.

EDIT: See, the problem is, when I have the most time free there's no one around to do word sprints with me. Time zones whyyyy

Yay! Plot trinkets! I have a few. Maybe. They are: a book, a "police" badge, and a strange, magical lizard-bug thing.

I love strange magical lizard-bug things (or actually, any sort of strange magical creature things). Can it fly?

Mine is a compass. And some sort of feather badge thing.

Nope, can't fly, but it's related to strange, creepy dragon-centaur things which can, but I doubt those will show up in the story.

Okay, the school day is over and I am ready for writing despite already writing two half-essays today. The plot has finally started! - I think.

I think my plot has started, but I'm missing most of the middle parts.

So. As part of my story, I just made a list of a dead man's belongings. It comprises one chapter. I should probably remember that I am hypothetically writing a story for a hypothetical audience to read.

Hey, it's postmodern!  If lists were good enough for Homer (Catalog of Ships, etc.), Melville (Moby-Dick), Umberto Eco (The Name of the Rose), James Joyce (I *think* Ulysses and Finnegans Wake) and Tim O'Brien (The Things They Carried), they're good enough for you.

I like lists.  When I was a reporter, I used bulleted lists a lot.  I think someone's belongings would say a lot about him, if they were chosen well.  So count me among your hypothetical audience.

Sigh... it appears I have become addicted to group writing. Anyone want to have a word race?

I like them as far as they are not written by Theodor Fontane. Gosh, I hated "Miss Jenny Treibel" and it's far shorter than "Effi Briest". But the worst description are part of a mishapp translation of the Lord of the Rings. The translator describes every leave to smallest detail until you want to cry out loud. Afar from these examples I totally agree with Sunflower, descriptions and lists are pretty nice and are doing fine for (my) imagination.

Sorry Nimphy, no Word races this weekend. Half an hour left until bedtime and then the weekend is off. I will have to catch up on you guys, when I'm back home.

Oh, thanks. :) Nice to know I'm not the only one who likes to use lists.

Sure! Never mind that I've finished pretty much all the scenes in which I kind of had an idea what was happening. I'll think of something...

Fine with me. (and good night, Kex, also!)

And since for once no one else is around to be bothered by it, I'll be blasting setting music to play in the background. :P
