And, lucky for me, I'm doing a script...perfection.

WOOHOO!! finally i have written more than my scummy 862 words that ive been stuck on for the last month and a half. My teacher made me sit down in front of a school computer today for an hour and just WRITE it didnt matter if it was rough as guts and the grammer and punctuation was everywhere, i just had to write, and my god is she a god send right now. I wrote 4 pages.. i KNOW it doesnt sound like much but that was enough, now i wanna keep writing and writing.. yay :):):):):):):):)

I'm up to 850 words..

I've figured I need to write at least 1000 words a week from here in, to finish my rough draft.. then I've gotta go through the task of editing and writing the reflection statement in the remaining few weeks.
eep..

About 9000 - I've got a lot of refining to do so hopefully I can cut out that extra 1000. I really hate my story now. I'm so sick of it and I read it and think it all sounds like crap, but it's a bit late to do anything about that now
