The Invention of the Skateboard
Nov. 8th, 2009 10:04 pmLet's have a quote from the famous skateboard chase, shall we?
Random Extra Girl: *watching Marty passing outside, riding the lower board of some kid's scooter and hanging onto the back of a truck as he flees Biff and his cronies* What's that thing he's on?
Captain Obvious Boy: It's a board with wheels!
Lorraine: *all impressed* He's an absolute dream!
-M: *snickers at Captain Obvious Boy*-
Well, he is!
Not much to report today -- it's been a lazy sort of Sunday. I will say this, however -- I'm never staying up until past 3 A.M. again. I slept like shit last night, and now I'm feeling wobbly.
-VD: What on earth possessed you to stay up so late?-
Idiot me decided to reread some stories in WordPerfect, started correcting a few typos, and -- wham! I didn't get to bed until around 3:20.
-TD: Let's not do that again.-
No way. My limit's 2 A.M. from now on.
I do, however, have some stuff for you all to read -- the first three chapters of "The Tale."
Chapter One
Chapter Two
Chapter Three
Enjoy! I'm working on Chapter Four now -- hooray for Doc finally getting introduced. (Though given my current rather exhausted state, I get the feeling parts of his intro are gonna get rewritten.) As for wordcount:
17175 / 50000 words. 34% done!
Again, a little less than I usually do, but I'm really tired here at the moment.
-VD: You've got a substantial lead, and you're still doing quite well.-
I know. Just have to keep up the place.
Okay, later y'all.
