...As evidenced by the fact that I spent about 40 minutes in Paint trying to come up with a decent thumbnail for Chapter 1 of my story. How hard is it to slap a few Pokemon sprites together on a blank background with some text? Apparently the answer is 'very'.

In more exciting news chapter 1 is about 1500 words in, which is more words in an hour than I've written in the past year. Probably about a third of the way done, probably won't have anything to submit by this coming weekend though because of work and other commitments but I'm hoping that the following weekend will see chapter one on here. The hardest part is, as always, finding a title. Two titles actually; one for the story itself and one for the first chapter. Why are titles as hard as thumbnails?

Until next time, keep your stick on the ice.
