   Well, Richard, whose idea this was, sez he can’t do next weekend. He has to celebrate the resurrection of his Lord.

   But I’m up for any weekend. Hell, I’m up for EVERY weekend, because I really need to get back into the habit of writing.

   So… goals?

   And next weekend should be good for me, actually, because I doubt the Lone Gunman is going to have much work for me to do.

   Oooo… I just realized. Next weekend is Dracuster! Mebbe we should write Dracula stories to celebrate.

   But I have to celebrate the death of my Lord!

   Or something like that. I’d really rather do it the NEXT weekend, but there is nothing stopping all and sundry from doing it during Dracuster and then my doing it the next week.

   Well, looks like I’m doing it with steff this weekend, with WG next weekend, and with you the weekend after that.

   I’ll be doing it a lot.

   My goodness! That’s a lot of writing. Hmmm. Maybe I should rethink my ban.

   What are you writing?

   Once in Doctor Who, the Brigadier misprounounced chitin. He said that the giant maggots had chit-en-ous shell (as if it rhymed with shit). A fan wrote a short fan letter which said,

   I’m just writin’
   on how to say chitin.

   Because I’m a nerd, I think that every time I hear the word “writing”.

   Or Chitin for that matter.

   actually, i pronounce “shit” as if it rhymed with chitin.

   Shite!

   I’m just shitin’
   on how to say chitin!

   with all this shittin and chitin I don’t know what to say. I can also do this weekend and probably R the P’s weekend too cuz i ain’t got no life at the moment or Writing is my only life for the moment.

   I read the Dracuster comments, what ever happened to Miguel, I wonder.

   Still can’t think of what goals to set…

10. Che on March 14, 2008 12:51 pm

    Poor Miguel. We prolly terrified him. As we do to so many.

    Okay! My word processor is open, I have a title typed in, a few characters outlined, and I’m starin’ at that blank page.

    Me needs help now.

    I think it should be a novella about how Dracula loved Easter Eggs, but that they aren’t as tasty dipped in blood as he thought they would be, so he’s had to branch out to other treats for his favorite holiday.

    It’s the pastels that he loves so much.

    Now, with that story outline, I sense a Nobel for literature in your future!

    Get to writing.

12. Che on March 14, 2008 2:03 pm

    Thats a fine storyline. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I have another plotline a’brewin’ in my noggin. One that has nothing to do with Dracula, or blood-dyed easter eggs.

    I just need a kick in the butt.

13. Che on March 14, 2008 2:34 pm

    I’ve written 19 words.

14. Richard the Previous on March 14, 2008 2:35 pm

    Alas. My poor Dracula story will never be written. Perhaps it is for the better.

15. Che on March 14, 2008 10:42 pm

    Okay! Some of us got a bit of writing done tonight. Anyone who wants to join in tomorrow (or sunday) drop me an email!

    I have to grade my students’ writing all weekend. But maybe I’ll get it done today and write tomorrow.

    Though, in all honestly, nothing kills the joy of writing so much as grading a student’s paper.

17. writergirl19 on March 15, 2008 11:54 am

    I’m barely awake, got my groceries. Shall start writing soon
