Still Alive

(Insert Portal reference here)
Yeah, still alive in spite of lack of postings. I felt like I'd hit some kind of wall, working exclusively on the story for Neopuc, and I ended up just cleaning my room and sorting my paperwork and cleaning up my computers instead of writing today. I felt a bit better, so I decided to try doing a little side writing, and much to my delight I ended up giving up on the side writing and returning to Neopuc's story. So things are kinda working out.
I've started keeping track of how many words RoughDraft thinks I've written in the story, and the effects have been pretty therapeutic. I don't feel like I'm making absolutely no progress whatsoever any more, although it's still nowhere near as fast as I used to write. Maybe I'm slowing down in my old age. Early twenties is old, right?

You're making pretty good progress there. I'm in no rush to get the story either, so if you feel like writing something else first or in parallel with it go ahead and do it. Whatever works for you.
