Ok, I'm just going to whine a little here about nothing that terribly important.

You know, I had what I considered to be a fairly decent idea for something for the Summer Anthology. So I started writing it and actually finished it--and it was more than twice the maximum word count. Ok, so no big deal. I just posted it as a story and went on with life.

So then I had what I considered to be a fairly decent idea for something ELSE for the Summer Anthology. So I started writing it and actually finished it (which, believe me, is a miracle in itself since I have the attention span of a gnat at times and I get bored with my own words). But guess what? Bet you can't guess...really, try...

IT IS OVER THE #&%@ WORD COUNT AGAIN!

And I was REALLY SURE when I started writing it that I could manage it in 10,000 words. But apparently I needed a good 6,000 more words than that. Go figure... Ok, so it takes me at least a paragraph to say hello and I have absolutely NO CONCEPT of one-word answers... So I guess it was predictable.

So now I have to come up with a THIRD idea for something for the Summer Anthology. Really, I am not that creative. I can barely come up with one idea--now I am working on my third one.

*whines and goes back to the drawing bored muttering about having no life*
