- ladies and gentlemen, 4058 words. and i think we have an ending here. goodnight, seattle!
- @ms. x: i'm required to put a word count in the header. less than 4000 or over 5000 and we get docked a grade. thems the breaks.
- they're closing the Boston Globe?! (...300 to go.)
- 400 left. my pace is slowing...i'm getting sleepy. and distracted. @ms. x: i wish there was a patch for this.
- took a break for dinner, against better judgment. up past bedtime. 500 words left @ms. x: admitting we have a problem is the 1st step.
- 600 to go...must. find. ending.
- 3135... @ms. y: thank goodness, it's how many words i have done. thanks for the luck! i'm getting so close. just need to find an ending.
- 3015...@ms. x: thanks for the encouragement! let's hope i get over this procrastination thing before grad school : )
- 2845.
- 2436.
- 2263. i think tweeting about it actually helps keep me motivated.
- 2028 down! over the halfway mark. but my bedtime is 10 pm, since i have to wake up at 4 am for work. so i'd better get moving.
- 1846 down.
- 2678, i suck at math.
- 1322 down, (4000-1322=wait...2778? oh crap) to go
- 900 words down, 3100 to go. This is pathetic.
- @ms. y: I know the feeling!
- bad writer.
- turning off the internet, writing if it kills me.
- @ms. x: thanks for the stories, you're my hero : )
- @ms. x: good suggestion, thanks. i've been looking over prompts. i have about six different starts, but feel crappy about all of them.
- @ms. x: ugh, i'm so blocked, and i need a story by monday. why must i be such a procrastination junkie? and now i'm twittering...
- devoid of ideas.

RE: #2 I was wondering why you were so concerned with word count. That's harsh.
