    Not only do you not have a thick skin, but you double post too. What a g00b.

    Fish: This isn't the time or the place for that, but sure, let's interrupt a perfectly not-stupid discussion because you feel like looking intelligent.

    1. You're right, the one single time that I displayed a thin skin is not only extremely relevant, but immensely telling of my character.

    Grow up.

    2. Of course, I TOTALLY did that intentionally, isn't it obvious?

    Seriously, you are a child. You obviously take the internet way too seriously, as well as equate it to real life. Hm, if I were you, I would go do something else for a while.

    Xiao: I hadn't seen the earlier bits of this thread, and didn't know about the potential -18's hanging about. I've edited it down to a tolerable level.

    And Grakelin: Hypocrisy, perhaps, but that doesn't always betray fallacy.

    Enough time has already been wasted on this anyway, let's not drag it out any further than it already has been.

    Wait, you censored yourself on TA?

    Easiest way to not drag it out is to stop posting in the thread GA. I'm not sure anyone else cares too much.

    14,325/50,000. Fraking mental blocks.

    I'm not particularly comfortable giving out bits of my writing to people, unless you're willing to edit it for me. All of the writing I do is being put aside until the day I get off my jacksie to actually publish these things. Only one novel is complete to send out, but I don't think any of you are willing to read teen dramas *sigh*.

    Hey Jazintha, I'm willing to do an edit after I've had a week or two for my brain to wind down.

    Progress Report for Wednesday November 11th
    Starting Count: 27,891
    Finishing Count: 30,805
    Day's Count: 2,914
    Location Written: Bedroom, Loungeroom
    While Watching: Spicks and Specks, Cold Case Files, Poirot, NCIS
    While Listening To: Lots of Overclocked Remixes
    Things I've Done That I've Been Waiting All Month To Do: I did a public execution. It was surprisingly fun. And now... to the second movement of this grand symphony! (Yes, that comment is appropriate.)

    EDIT: Yeah, I finally got around to fixing up the new banner. You have no idea how much of a pain in the butt it was to make the sepia effect work without looking like poo.

    I'm asking because I absolutely have no idea on how NaNoWriMo works - Are you changing the titles as you progress and evolve the story to fit the work better, or are you creating multiple novels with a total length of 50k?

    What I meant was - does she get to combine both wordcounts, or will she only get to publish only one novel for NaNo? Also, is she reporting the total wordcount?

    Again, I have no idea how NaNo works. Also I had already read that quote, meaning this is a new question for me.

    As long as it's written in November, and written exclusively for the NaNo, I can count the words. I was writing Coin's Edge originally, but it went balls-up and I had most of Grand Symphony already planned out, so I'm working on that tale instead.

    If I publish, it'll only be because I've worked damn hard on polishing it and making it worth publishing. There's two other people in my city alone writing multiple tales for this year's NaNo, and in my first year I wound up writing four novellas instead of a single novel.

    And frankly, man, for crying out loud, just Google it instead of asking silly questions.

    Our cities are like your cities suburbs. Seriously, Box Hill in Melbourne is about the same size as Burnie (where I am), which is the 4th largest 'city' in the state.

    Hobart is slightly bigger, but still.

    Most of our cities only JUST have the population required to actually be a city.

    And that's the way I like it, dammit. Less people, fewer morons, more parking spaces.

    If you have comparatively more parking spaces, your city planner has failed.

    We failed when we built anything in Tasmania.

    Like hell! Having enough parking spaces for everyone is a good thing!

    Get out of my thread and don't come back.
