I had a baaaaaaad weekend. I was all set to just type my heart out to get to at least 30K and when I was halfway thru I lost everything I was working on. My heart was broken. I got physically ill and I almost quit. I wanted to just toss my laptop out the window, burn my notes and say "screw it forever" but instead, I went out with a friend, got hammered and woke up the next morning thinking, I can't quit. I'm not a quitter, it's not in my nature, beside, anything I write from here on in, might be ten times better than what I had lost. So who knows, I just have to keep plugging along. This time I'm going to make a hard copy of everything. I'd rather have to just re-type than have it all disappear into the ethernet. Let's all just keep plugging away.

SP,
Glad you're still with us. Keep plugging away and those words will flow. I think we all have to be LIttle Engines. (I think I can, I think I can) up the 50,000 word hill.
