    Well, not really. I thought I would post my first chapter, which is less than I have but I'm still about 5 days behind right now (sigh).

    Chapter 1. In which Our Hero awakes from sleep and thinks very little.

    Sorry about the link, but I can't paste it because it has too many italics for me to want to mess with right now. That's just the way I swing.

    Yes, but at least you have a plot!

    Sort of a repetitive, 'Quantum Leap' sort of plot, but a plot nonetheless.

    Congrats! I didn't, I have 38K verified, and several pages in my notebook left to type. I was lazy at first, mssing about 12 days or so, then got hit the stomach flu two days ago, killing my race to the finish.
    Of course, I will continue with the story, and with daily writing, which is all I did this for anyway: discipline. Still a shame I didn't reach 50k :(

    The hard part for me was the typing: I had to make myself type while I thought, otherwise it never would have made it into the computer.
