Re: [do not click here]
here's something i just wrote:
right above my head there was this glowing line of dust, reflecting the white light, and millions of invisible particles, and they were dancing.
AAAAAAH
Re: [do not click here]
LOL, you're so funny Ada!
(I love what you wrote! Funny though how it would have its place in my épilogue! :)
Here is a little extract just for you to inspire you for the remaining words...:
Elle lui raconterait ses journées à inventer des histoires et il la bercerait jusqu’à ce qu’elle s’endorme. Elle aurait le droit d’aller jouer dans la Salle d’Attente. Ils tenteraient de convaincre l’Archiviste de les laisser remettre la vieille horloge en marche et lorsqu’il refuserait, ils obtiendraient de pouvoir admirer la collection de vieux livres en papier. Peut-être pourraient-ils ouvrir un ouvrage illustré de locomotives à vapeur?

Re: [do not click here]
THis is such a beautiful thread, full of glee and merry.
I see the crocodile, too
This group is so gala and beautiful..........wee.............................
Re: [do not click here]
i know, the crocodile, right? isn't it beautiful?
it has started talking to me in his very deep, monotone voice.
it kind of reminds me of hagrid.
well, maybe it IS hagrid.
who knows? no one knows.
good night, little crocodile, and dream your crocodile dreams.
<3
Re: [do not click here]
What's with the purple bars? I want a pink one.
Re: [do not click here]
you will get a pink one, when the time comes.
when the time comes, everybody will get a bar of its own favourite colour.
and then the world will be complete.
PURBLEPARRRRR.
Re: [do not click here]
Sorry to steal your thread, but... I'm 1001 words short, plus the cap between Open Office word count and the official count.
Re: [do not click here]
Kosti,
You are the master wordsmith who swings his pen like a many-pound hammer!!
Bravo!!!
Yvonne
Re: [do not click here]
I forced those 3000 words out of me yesterday... Today I had hard time keeping up with the words coming out. 3500 on the paper, and I've earned my break. And this victory chocolate.
My bar is still not pink.
Re: [do not click here]
Grats!!! :-)
Re: [do not click here]
Steph,
It took soooo long for my novel to upload once I hit the SUBMIT button.
Don't get caught in a crash.
btw: that is one honkin' word count of yours!!
Y
Re: [do not click here]
YOU DID IT!!! great.
you are great.
if you want, i will make you a crocodile. you deserve a crocodile.
:)
Re: [do not click here]
YES, YOU DID IT!!!! *squeaks* Congrats, Hon! *big hug* Want some Rüblikuchen, from Switzerland? It's yummy, and my chosen drug for the last few thousand words. *lol* You'd definitely deserve a piece. ;)
Re: [do not click here]
Crocodiles, weird foreign cakes, yes please! But not for myself, for everybody please! =) And thanks for the support and congrats, everyone! Now I only need to figure out when is the next chance to meet you all.
Re: [do not click here]
I actually was talking to tv for chickens, but you deserve a piece of yummy weird cake, too. ;) Congrats for winning! :D
Re: [do not click here]
i would LOVE some rüblikuchen. especially because i actually know what it is and it tastes great.
oh, and here is your crocodile, kosti:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
have fun finding it. it likes hiding behind bushes or rocks. ;))
good night everybody.
it feels so good to not have to write 2 000 words today.
but i also don't know what to do.
bye!
Re: [do not click here]
Hey Kosti! Wow, impressive, you made it!!! Congrats!!! ^^
*hands pink rubbon*
Re: [do not click here]
Well I know am the proud owner of a purple bar. The Congrats video still has the same effect: goosebumps...and lots of 'em.
I had an unexpected snafu at work which allowed me a ton of writing time and transcribing time for the pages I has written on that strange thing called "paper". I upped my word count considerable, but I am pretty sure that Oo bumped me up by around 1800 words. Such is technology. But I am so glad that my story is "IN" officially.
Now, for all of us who have earned our purple bar, let us think of nothing and no one but our buddies who are still churning their respective stories out. Send them all positive vibes, words by telepathy, the sky is the limit and there is no border when it comes to rooting our buddies on:
This is for you: Suzanne, Mina, Dawn,and Cecile (on her Golden Horse in the Baltics!) and Olivia (Fighter Bavarian Foen)
GO-GO-GO-GO-GO-GO-GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: [do not click here]
Re: [do not click here]
I'm tagging along to that one hehe. Finally put most of the things I have written into the document as well but I just hit a wall now where I thought "No, enough now, I need a breeeaaaak!" and so I decided it was time to finally validate hehe.
So here is to our lovely and very gorgeous purple bars and a big cheer to all those who are in the finishing lines. You can do it!! :-) Not long now and then you can huggle your very own purple bar (so pretty ^-^).
GRATS YVONNE! :-D
Re: [do not click here]
Great Steph, you are in. Where did you get that lovely purple bar?
Do you think it comes in my size, too?
Well, I believe that it is one size fits all.
Wheeee. The fatigue of these past werks is beginning to show...
Thanks. Steph!!
Amen to every to every bit of encouragement.
Good Night All
Re: [do not click here]
Yes, yes, YES!!!!! I did it!!! *jumps through living room like a maniac* F$%§, I DID IT!

Re: [do not click here]
Congrats to all of the purple bar proud owners!!! :)))))

And then, we can have a collective hug! ^^

Re: [do not click here]

does anybody want to be my beta with a hat reader?
Re: [do not click here]
Hi Ada,
I would love to read your novel.
It would be an honor to be at least one of your beta readers.
You are almost on vacation!! Lucky girl!!
Yvonne
Re: [do not click here]
Same goes for me! ^_^
It would be an honour to read the pages from our Nobel Prize! ^^
Re: [do not click here]
Agreed! :-)
I wouldn't mind taking a look at those pages ^-^
Re: [do not click here]
great. so many nice people!
how does that kind of stuff usually work? can i just send you the word document or something?
in an e-mail?
tell me tell me tell me.
<3
Re: [do not click here]
In a word document is absolutely fine, that way we can easily insert comments if we have any and if that is what you want from us.
You can also send it as a pdf file if you prefer us not to fiddle with anything.
E-mail is the way to go though :-)
And.. I do ask for a small favour in return.... The recipe for that awesome cheesecake :-D pwetty pwease :-)
Re: [do not click here]
And I do volunteer to taste the Stephaversion of the cheesecake! :)
