I've revised my story and sent it off to beta, but I doubt it will be back and posted before the wend of the month. It'll only be a couple of days though, and I'll post a link here when I've done it.

Congratulations! You've hit your Pico target splat in the bullseye, and with two days still to go! I see you managed to keep it under 10,000 words, as well.

I suspect the "wend of the month" is a typo, but it sounds like a wonderfully medieval expression for the turning of one month into another and I wish it was in widespread use.

Isn't it amazing that I hit the target to the exact word!

It's a neologism! {I've been so butterfingers lately.)

[emerald-happy.livejournal.com]

It is! It is! *glomps* Well done for finishing it!

Ah, see that's because a good writer like you can use structural limitaions as a challenge. Some people write drabbles, you write exactly 9265-word short stories.

That's great! Can't wait to read it.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

You'd like the series. Blake's dead. ;-)

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

Well done! (I assume your idiosyncratic target was a words-per-day calculation?)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Hee! No, I just set the target to how many words I did because my real aim was to finish the story. :-)

[emerald-happy.livejournal.com]

Awww.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Am envious... you managed more words than I did, but then you posted more days than me.

Congrats!!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I didn't write every day though.

I really should exorcise the few stories still in my head so that I'm free to strike out in other directions and think up more.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm going to try and keep up... well, not the same amount, but a higher output than before, now I've shown myself that I can :)

[stevie-carroll.livejournal.com]

Go you! Looking forward to reading the finished story.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I hope it won't be long now. :-)

[elmey.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! I'm really looking forward to reading it. This picowrimo thing really works doesn't it.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I hope I'll have it back in a day or so. :-)

It does! I've written a story each year for pico. I find I need the challenge, so I'll have to set my own deadlines in future.

[forodwaith.livejournal.com]

Way to go! I"m looking forward to reading the whole thing.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I hope it will be up in a couple of days. :-)

[tawek.livejournal.com]

I'll be looking forward to reading the whole story!
