I could five minutes ago. Now, I'm done.

Done? As in completed? Or done, as in stopped?

Done, as in completed. Finished chapter 8.

Very nice! Should we expect an update soon?

It's been updated. I'm impatient like that.

And there it is, sitting in my inbox!

I don't think I can read it now, though. I have the beginnings of a headache, and it is not fun atm.

It's all good. It'll still be there whenever you get to it. Unless I take it down to rewrite. I'm not exactly pleased with it. Another 'setting the table' chapter, with not a lot of action. But I'm lazy, so it'll probably stay as-is for a while.

I so understand. I'm totally going to post the first completed version of this chapter I finish. Even though there are parts that I am not happy with.

I will definitely take a look later.

Thanks, Steph. I appreciate it.

And I wasn't happy with chapter 7 when I posted it either haha. Still have changed much with it though, and it's been about three months. Maybe this one will look a little better to me come tomorrow.

That happens sometimes. I post a chapter and dismiss it as complete garbage. Then, I go back and read it a few weeks later and decide that it really wasn't that bad. Sometimes, I even think they're good.

Yeah. With this one, it's not necessarily that I feel it's terrible, I'm just really out of practice with Adrianna's POV. Last chapter was Kane, and I've really been focused on him with the collab and all. So this one just seems a little boring, or something like that. I think I'm going to write a couple of shorts from her POV, see if I can get back into it a little more.

Good plan. I should try that sometime.

So, how's it going?

Going all right. Just sitting here, listening to a sports show, thinking about food.

How are you, aside from the headache? haha

Better. The headache has faded a bit. I'm listening to music and attempting to write. And watching the time just creep by tonight. Maybe it's because I didn't take a nap this afternoon? Who knows.

Are you watching ESPN?

Nope, Sportsrage. It's an internet radio show.

Maybe it's because I didn't take a nap this afternoon?

Maybe haha. Does that mean you'll be going to bed at a decent time tonight haha?

Do you want to know what's pathetic? That even when i take a nap, I still go to bed way earlier than I'd like. lol.

I've never heard of that show. Down here we have Paul Finebaum (which is a horrible representation of Southern football and the state of Alabama in general.) It's embarrassing.

Nice haha. I always tend to stay up really late, whether I'm tired or not. It's hard for me to go to bed before 4AM, for one reason or another.

I've never heard of that show.

It's aimed more toward people who bet on sports than anything else. And it covers every sport, no real emphasis on any. Though college football is dominating a lot of the talk lately, with the season starting next week.

Yep. I'm going to be at one of those games next week. :)

I decided to sell most of my tickets, though. It's too much of a hassle to drive an hour to campus every other Saturday and deal with parking problems. So, I kept two of the "big" games and sold the rest.

Nice. I don't really follow college football all that much, but I paid attention to Auburn last year. I'm a fan of Nick Fairley, and he was a beast for the Tigers last year. And now he's a Lion, ironically enough haha.

Good plan though. Might as well get some money for them.

Trueblood is getting so stressful T_T

Yep. I'm at Auburn, if you didn't know. So, yeah. It was a good year!

I like Nick Fairley, most of the time. He had some late hits and tactics that were questionable, but he was indeed a beast. And then there was Cam Newton, our one-year wonder. I'm worried this year, though. Hoping for a winning record, really.

That's unfortunate.

Yep. I'm at Auburn, if you didn't know.

I did know haha.

And yeah, you guys might be in tough this year. Never know though. Weird shit can happen.

And yeah, you guys might be in tough this year. Never know though. Weird shit can happen.

Indeed. We're a young team this year. Pretty much 2008 and 2009 were crap recruiting years. So, our talent is pooled together from 2010 and 2011. Not a lot of experience in our starting line-up (especially on the offensive line.)

Rebuilding year. Hopefully it'll pay off eventually.

Yeah. And it's never good when you have to replace the quarterback. Especially when the old one led you to a championship. Puts a lot of pressure on the successor. But they could still get it done.

I have to believe that haha. I'm a fan of the Leafs, in the NHL. Every year is a rebuilding there for them. If I don't believe rebuilding teams can get it done, I'm gonna have to cheer for a different team haha.

haha. I don't follow hockey-- ever.

I'm actually making progress on this chapter. I have two halves completed, and I just have to stitch them together. And throw in a little character development at the proper intervals.

Hockey is the sport I follow closest. Followed by baseball. Then football and basketball follow that. And then I sort of trail off when it comes to the rest haha.

And that's good. I did something similar haha. Wrote the beginning and the end, then went back and wrote the middle to join them up properly.

It's already 3000 words, too. This one is going to be long.

Mine was 4500. Which is actually a few words less than my average, I believe.

I try to aim for 3000 on my chapters. This one will probably end up around 3500, it seems.
