Bam! I finished two whole days early.

I suck at image hosting so here's a GDrive link to a proof image.

The ShareLaTeX wordcounter counts fewer words than the NaNo validator, which claims I have 50266. Either NaNo counts something it doesn't, or more likely ShareLaTeX counts words in the resulting pdf where it messes up some quotes which maybe mashes up words?

Anyway, let me know what I have to do for the av deal. I have never had an avatar and have no idea how they work.

THUNDERDOME LOSER
I'm at 37,914 and I don't think I'm going to pull 12K out of my rear end today. My story is a collection of ideas to be filled in later, chapters that are good but because I've picked and chosen which ones to write first, characters don't make sense and the story progresses at the pace of something that doesn't progress.

Motherfuck. Another year with a lot of writing of nothing.

And I'll tell you what's killing my writing since you asked.

Clown murder horror story? Sounds good! GO!

- wait, that's kind of like American Horror Story's side tale last season OH WELL KEEP GOING!
- needs to be on a train because that'll confine the crazy wait that's Murder On The Orient Express KEEP GOING
- MC can't just jump on the train and be a clown he's got to work his way up wait that's

etc. etc. etc.

Nothing is new. My moments of inspiration would've kept me going if I'd've just KEPT GOING but I kind of sat on it for too long. Learn from my failures!

So now I've got TWO great ideas for books instead of two finished rough drafts that I'm revising. Well. That's something.

I'm sorry to have to page you here, but I'm not a very natural irc user. I mean, do I have to happen to be online at the same time as you? I sent you a pm, but you didn't answer right then, and then I apparently forgot about the window and closed it. Can that conversation be brought back somehow? Anyway, if someone wants to teach me irc, sure, but I'm not very interested, I just want to get in touch with sebmojo. Is it possible you could send me an email at jonatan.kilhamn@gmail.com?
