onward to fame and glory, or something like that

I now have 101 ms pages of continuous narrative of Corambis, or approximately 23,700 words. Most of this past week has been struggling with the effort to write transitions between salvaged bits of text, which, as writing tasks go, is about as fun as sticking your fingers in a pencil sharpener. And I've got some more of it still to do, but I figured breaking triple digits was worth an update.

Happy to hear that. :-) May your writing be as stress-free as possible!

Hmm. I suspect that if I said "You go girl!" I'd get at the very least banned, if not folded, spindled, and mutilated, so I'll risk a quiet:

yay!

Would a musical porcupine (http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/cgi-bin/sheetmusic.pl?RagPorcupine&Rag&main) help soothe the pain?

You have the talent, you have the patience, ability and strength to do this and to do it right. The rest of us (your readers) can wait until you get it right, you just do what you do best. Despair, frustration and pain are part of the process; it's the color of life and the mother of art. The fact that you can translate your pain into our pleasure is the measure of your talent. Your words and worlds have brought light into my darkness.
