Frofa here saying hi from a well-advanced Dec 23. When you get to where I am I predict... *swirly crystal ball*... that you will all have moar written. ALOT MOAR.

I am going to start a second story for my recipient. Starting is the hardest part so I just have to get over this hump, right?

Then I'm going to write 4 more sections for a treat - I want it to be 5 things, but I decided the first one could stand on its own, so I uploaded it just as that in case I didn't get to the rest.

Lol, Frofa, I like that prediction!! I guess I should write more, lol.

Yep, getting it going is one of the hard parts. You sound like you've done pretty good so far, so I know you can do it! Good luck finishing up everything! - Snow

Hee! I'm counting on your predictions, Frofa.

And sounds like you're doing awesome! And yeah, getting over the starting hump is sometimes the hardest bit. You can do it! :D

Frofa again - I have the first scene written, at 450 words! I'm pleased

Now I have to go out for the evening in about half an hour, so after trying to start scene 2 a couple of times, I've decided I can have a break. I think I'll try to scribble some thoughts in my notebook, though - alternating between writing on the computer and writing longhand really helps me. Does anyone else find that?

Best of luck, everyone.

Way to go, Frofa!

Hmm, I've never tried going back and forth between writing longhand and typing. Sounds like it'd be worth giving it a shot! Thanks for the tip. :)

Good job so far! I use a notebook on occasion, but I haven't gone ever gone back and forth before. Sounds interesting!
