Not too far off the pace. I would have liked to get to 20,000 tonight, but I couldn't really get in gear until pretty late in my shift (around 6AM). I'm also not as sure how I'm going to approach the next part of the story, so I've been hesitating to move to the next scene (most of my writing last night was padding the end of the previous scene - it needed it, though; on a read-through, things swooshed by entirely too fast.)

Hopefully I'll get the chance to 'meditate' on the story a bit and get some inspiration regarding how to approach the next (and last?) scene.

Speaking of. . . I started doing a bit of research, making notes, charts, family trees, drawing maps, etc, for my prostitute book.

I really need to come up with a tentative title, so I can quit saying 'the hooker story'.

But calling it "The Hooker Story" is so fun!

I was in an RPG one time that my best friend and I gleefully dubbed "The Letter Game". The DM tried to come up with an 'official' name before we could start actually calling it that, but alas... it was all for naught. "The Letter Game" it remains to this day. (The funny part is that the reason we wanted to call it that was so that people would think we were talking about a little kid's game. "I wanna play the letter game!", etc.)

I love it - "The letter game". Makes me think of that game, "I packed my grandmothers trunk..."

As far as "The Hooker Story" - one of my associate rectors, T, is a writer. She facilitates a writer's guild, at the church. She heard that I write, and asked me to join. I turned a bit pink in the face and tried to explain that my next project probably isn't the sort of thing that would be appropriate, because it's a story about a prostitute. She laughed and said, "Well, so long as it isn't full-fledged erotica, I think you'll be fine."
