*scurries in, muttering to self* Well, I am in a state of disrepair over this, amn't I? Keep forgetting to properly update y'all. :P My deepest apologies.

I did not work on Peter's Angel at all last week. It was too busy with the garage sale, and what writing time I had I was too drained to do the heavy writing required for Peter's Angel. However, I am back with it this week. :D A break was probably good, since I'd been working on it solid for a few months...

I did write last week, though. I did about 77 pages of script. Does that account for anything? *grins*

I'm not setting a goal for Peter's Angel this week. Instead, I have a short script that needs rewriting, so...

Personal goal: Revise the Debugger short script
Timezone: CST

Finished my drabble! :D Now, on to phonetics... *wants to procrastinate* :P

Post subject:  Re: Holy Worlds Weekly Challenge - Week Six
Good job Rose! And good job Aubrey for getting writing done even though it wasn't the same writing as your goal. :D

I've gotten some sounds for each letter (that I'm going to be using very much, some I've left out entirely at least for the time being), but tomorrow I'll have to add a few more and then start figuring out what some of the sounds will be used for. :cool:

*is hoping to get inspired for the shortstory part of the weekly goal*

:blush: Did I? Well, I'm not over here as much as I am on HF. On HF I actually try to keep up with everything. Over here, it is only some select thread. Plus, I have HF and F as two of my tabs that open every time I open FireFox, so they kind of stay stuck on my brain. Sci-fi, I will not do that with :D.

Finished my short story! The drabble and short story are incorporated, in a way. The short story is the longer version of the drabble.

The short story has 599 words. I got a bit carried away. :P

Now... *goes to write on her novel* I posted the drabble on the submissions thread on SF, and I'll post the short story here, even though it's SF. :D

Well, I just finished the 500 word story...maybe. I have 501 words, but the story "ends" right when you can tell the MC is going to be sacrificing basically himself for his wife...do I have to write the sacrifice actually happening or is it enough to imply that it was going to happen?
Author:  Suiauthon Mimetes [ May 8th, 2012, 10:35 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Holy Worlds Weekly Challenge - Week Six
I would think implying is perfectly fine, but you'll have to check with Zoe to be sure.

*has finally edited everything in*

Azlyn: Yup! It's my way of helping them get entries. ;)

Lycanis: Implying is fine. Depending on the story, I think it can actually make it stronger.

Katie: *looks* *rubs eyes* *looks again* Did I imagine it, or did you have another post that you deleted? I thought you said you did a whole bunch of drabbles, but maybe I mixed up three blog posts with drabbles...
Author:  Constable Jaynin Mimetes [ May 10th, 2012, 1:35 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Holy Worlds Weekly Challenge - Week Six
*also rubs eyes*

I did. I had a fourth post in a row that said I entered four drabbles in the contest, and now I'd finished the challenge for the week and could relax. I sure didn't delete it, but apparently someone did.

*suspicious*

I finished a drabble (I think, I need to type it up yet :D). Now to get to work on my personal goal.

Post subject:  Re: Holy Worlds Weekly Challenge - Week Six
Good, then I've accomplished that goal, done the drabble, and achieved my personal goal as well. :D I just might decide to do another drabble, but might not since I'm on vacation right now. :P
Author:  Lady Katharina [ May 12th, 2012, 6:55 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Holy Worlds Weekly Challenge - Week Six
Finished and submitted a total of three drabbles. I personally like the last one I did the best :D.

I still have three scenes to finish for my personal goal, but I will hopefully be able to get that done today.
