Fan Fiction Update - May 15, 2008

Word Count: 2687/10000 for the week.
Current Priority: The Broken Arrow - Chapter One

Y'know, I'm wondering if I should count my blog posts and planning sheets as part of the word count assessment for the week? All these words should go towards something, and I feel so productive when I have a count.

So let's use this brain. What do I want to do?

Well, let's get with an overview. Otherwise known as the "summary", that most scurrilous of beasts; the cramming of thousands and thousands of words into a snappy sentence. How doth one sum up a life in 250 characters or less?

I'm taking a shot at it!
I'm doing it! You can't stop me! Don't even try!

The Broken Arrow by Xeric
Ron Weasley expected to spend his seventh year hunting Horcruxes at Harry's side, but his future changes course when he's suddenly abducted by a unusual band of mercenaries right off the Hogwarts Express.
Fiction Rated: M - English - Adventure/Horror - Chapters: 54 - Words: 230, 842 - Reviews: 533

Etc., etc., etc. That's the fanfiction.net summary. I still have yet to make a planning sheet for this story, and the statistics underneath the story are pretty much complete fabrications. Hopefully, some day I'll be able to match and surpass those numbers.

I'll come back with a planning sheet - truncated for online posting, of course, don't want to give the ending away - but I don't know when I'll be doing that. I'm out all day tomorrow, as I'm hanging out with an old friend from high school.

Suddenly, I'm not so sure I'll be getting a response. Sigh. Ah, well, this is what I asked for, isn't it? Christ, it sucks right now, though.

I'm out.
I'm afraid, I'm stuck in my ways
