Lizzy, you are really pretty much sold on Obama? At this point, I am as skeptical about any of the major party politicians as some are of organized religeon. (How about a thread titled: "bush, a rediculous concept?") Anyway, let's hope that your optimism turns out to be well founded. Sorry...

No, Lizzy, it was one of the wierd evenings of my life last night, & that sometimes begets wierd behavior on my part. I found myself in the "Ydc Library" (not unlike the sure to be future old dick c. library or the present old bush library) (I wonder if young junior will have a library...

I wouldn't be looking for a new day job if I could do this: Adah: ….her bluish face creased with a pressure closing in, the near proximity of the other-than-life that crowds down around the edges of living. Her eyes closed up tightly, and her swollen lips clamped shut. Her spine curved, and her limb...

Hi Ydc good to hear from you again. I intended to post here with my ideas on why I didn't make it to the magic 50,000 and will do so before Christmas. I think the attempt was worthwhile and am not too disappointed. That actually sounds like a good idea, Damellon. that kind of post nano-thread deser...

Hey, Madonna, (& on edit, I didn't intend to leave Martine out) sorry for the somewhat belated response to your post; you know how it goes w/ Ydc, always another round of who knew what when--the typical treachery & deceipt are always enough to keep any ruler occupied. Anyway, I am sorry to r...

December 1:
Damellon, Ive already expressed my feelings towards your efforts; I hope you take them to heart.
Maddonna & Martine--so how did it go?
Ydc

Hi Ydc Can you hear the strained silence coming from here? I have to admit defeat at this stage. I'm not going to make it, word-count wise. Thanks for all your encouragement, I really appreciate it. You too Lizzy. Blonde Madonna, Martine - will you guys make it to the finishing line? I have my fing...

With day 25 rolling on, I'm hoping word-counts are piling up...?

Thanks for asking Ydc she says with a sigh I stopped writing for a few days but I am back at it again, pushed through 20,000 and on the way to 30,000. It is rubbish and I will not be posting any of it. I don't reread it (I haven't time for that and it doesn't help anyway) I just think rubbish rubbi...

Ladies of the nano-write, it is nearly November 20, do you know whaere your word-counts are?
Ydc

Day 17. Word count just over 19,7500 give or take a few. I'm way behind now, and running out of ideas. I have maybe another few thousand words left in me. Rightly or wrongly . . . . :? ?? does that make sense? Anyway, rightly or wrongly I've already written the ending, and everything will be headin...

Gosh, I am certainly side-tracking this thread, am I not? But I've no doubt one of the nano-writing ladies will stumble upon my request a few posts & a page back for the midpoint word-count, & get us back on the right road. This is, after all, a "writing thread," so in the meantime...

I woke up because I still a cat outside and it's turning cold tonight. In the meantime, two kitten types slipped out the door, so I'm still up for awhile. Thanks for the huge laugh at nearly 1 AM, Ydc. What a super passage! Damellon, Blonde Madonna, and Martine ~ I'm wondering if you're still up, t...

Chronologically, you are halfway through. How are the word-counts looking, ladies? If you are a tad behind, or even what you consider significantly behind, you've got a solid 15 days left, & I happen to believe that a motivated author (which always excluded myself) with a word processor can lay ...

HI there Ydc. The thought of you asking for the word count is forcing me to keep at it. Today, Day 10, I am still trailing at 14387 words but am happy with that many at this stage. May give you a glimpse Lizzy, later. Gosh, there's alot I'd like to type, including re the excerpt you posted; however...
