Chatbox II: The Rebirth

hey there Speedy, you seem to be the only person in the same timezone as me.

How'd your venture to quit smoking go?

 

sorry double post.

 

I passed. Though as i have mentioned all to many times today. I cant find mt usb with 100k words of story i have oumped out in the last few months.


I actually would love a smoke todsy!

I wont say im deressed, i'm just a little numb thinking i have to type up all that story again (its possible, just not as fun as pumping new stuff).

How are you doing so far today?

 

100k is a killer to lose, hope you find it soon. I once forgot to save 10k and almost had a stroke.

The day's been quite entertaining but dragging along like sack full of lead on a dust road. Im glad its almost over.

How long has it taken you to do 100k?

 

took about 3 months, i was on a roll, which why it hurts so much

 

wow, the most words i ever wrote was for nanowrimo and i just scrapped 50k in the allotted month. i really hope you find it, it's almost like losing an arm.

 

When i find it, if i find it (No matter the condition) i'll fost a picture of it before and after the spanking i give it for running away!

 

lol, do you follow the ashes?

 

Yes, and thats an odd story in itself

Our cause i WANT them to win, but they are not 10% of the team they once were (I follow my cricket very close)

And at one stage Engand were like 5-1 out here, so i shoved $1,000 on thenm

Happy to have been leading, but unhappy we were loseing

Last test was the bomb (so to say)

1-1, I cant lose. Im either going to be happy and we win the series or I'll cry and win $5,000

So yes i do

 

Morning, all.

 

Morning.

 

Hey, Matt. How goes life?

 

Not too badly.
Just harrassing magazines for replies to my submissions.
How are you?

 

Lol. Are they giving you the silent treatment?

Yeah, I'm not bad thanks. Still quite pleased that I moved my driving test forward by an entire month.

 

This magazine in particular has been silent for about seven weeks, so I've sent a query. Hopefully it means that they're seriously considering it, but it's still fairly unlikely...

I am hoping to be published before I hit 20.

 

Yeah, I guess if they were going to reject it they would have sent the letter pretty much straight away. So there's still hope.

That would be pretty awesome, if you did get published.
*crosses fingers*

 

It gives me a year and a few days to achieve it.

When's your driving test?

 

Next Wednesday.

Before yesterday, it was scheduled for the 21st of September.

But I think I'm ready, and if I can get my license before I go back to college, then that's a bonus.

 

Hope the weather's good for it. That's why I failed first time.

 

Ouch. Was it tipping it down when you did yours then?

 

Anyone manage to stay awake for the meteor shower?

 

Oh yes. Ten seconds out of the test centre, the heavens opened.

 

Christ, that'd be horrible.
I drove in some heavy rain when I was in Wales and I hated every minute of it. I expect it was doubley awful to get it during your test.

Rei - I did!

 

Cool. I wish I could have stayed up.

 

the meteor shower is tonight, too, isn't it? Or did I miss the whole thing?
