KelBardi's Writing Stuffs

So I had every intention of using my time away from Scotland relaxing, having fun and partially working on the ending of the Dead Zone story.

I also had the bright idea that since bardiphouka has so many computers, I could leave my unreliable and exceptionally heavy monster of a slow and needing replaced badly laptop at home.

The file is on that computer.

I forgot to email myself an up to date version.

Bugger.

So one of two things may happen here, either there will be a 5 week break now, or I can go back through my journal and start picking up again from there. We'll see what I decide. Whoops.

I has an art!
A lovely picture of Ford most likely about to cause trouble.

As always, I love art of any of my characters. Not that I'm hinting or anything.
I'm totally hinting.

So, the story will continue. I am taking a breather for a couple of days though. I know where it is going, who is over the horizon and who will never be seen again. Intact, anyway.

This post is an opportunity for me to take questions, criticisms, comments in general and whatnot. If there something that needs clarified, just ask. If I have made an error somewhere that you noticed, point it out. If you just want to point out how much you'd quite like to screw one (or several) of the characters, awesome.

I have a thick skin, so be as honest as you like. It's all good in the end.

Finally!
Though, in all honesty, the story is not finished.
I think I'll just keep going, and I'll keep posting bits and pieces here until it is done. Unless there are objections (given how many people are actually reading this, I doubt I need worry about being swamped with emails complaining about it).

So. Here's what I have so far:

Thank you Write Or Die! I am now 200 words ahead of the game. For some reason I write really well when I'm using it, even if it does make me waffle a little. Who cares! Ahead again!

I haven't updated lately. I'm doing crap. The writing is horrible. I don't know where I am going, but I know where I want to end up. I am not going to finish the story in 50k, that much is clear. It does extend beyond the MC's return home after all. 38266 words. Still behind.

Just a hair from 30k at 29,833. But this feels like a good place to stop and rest.

At 28198 words I am currently behind. Boo! But I resolve to catch up!

Thanks to my niece visiting (seriously, how does anyone write with children around their feet?) and a sudden and rather nasty sickness (still recovering) my word count has suffered horribly this weekend. I wanted to make 30k, to keep me ahead. I'm currently sitting at 24221, but I'm still writing. So, that is why I haven't posted for a while. Until then, here's yet another excerpt for you.

20250 words and counting. I'm getting there. I am not sure, but this may be a record for me.
