Quirky – Goal: 1/2 hour or 3 pages - Week 1: Is estimating 5 hours, which is past his goal. But he’s having issues doing the everyday thing. My question about his estimation was, what, other people don’t keep exact track of their writing either through Excell or MS Word, like I do???? Who knew…

Snarky – Daily Goal: 1500 words  - Week 1: I almost made my goal. Thurs & Fri worked well for me. Unfortuantely, what I wrote was lesson plans for homework. Sigh. And I have a contract for Dragos 4. I got the cover too. Wicked said it burned her eyes out, LOL

Wicked – Goal: 1 hour    - Week 1: Wicked said “(Struggling from under an avalanche of boxes, a weak voice cries out) A frickin hour and if you can find me, you can punish me for it.( manic laughter fades under sound of falling cardboard)”

So Mrs Whipmistress Said “

Ha. Found you. Mwaa Haa Ha.

Darlin, an hour is good. It’s a ton better than none, right? Right, cause I’m the whip mistress and I say so.

I can hear the whip cracking now.  Oh yeah, I going to have plenty of comfort while counting down my long luxurious lashes.  If you take into consideration I was typing left handed most of the week 5 hours is  not bad.  I’ve also done some research on exorcism this week.  How about that Smokey?  He’s cooking with 9 hours this week.

Ha. Found you. Mwaa Haa Ha.

Darlin, an hour is good. It’s a ton better than none, right? Right, cause I’m the whip mistress and I say so.”

And then, I got kisses I’m so damn happy.

Eerie – Goal: 1 hour    - Week 1: Says “I can hear the whip cracking now.  Oh yeah, I going to have plenty of comfort while counting down my long luxurious lashes.  If you take into consideration I was typing left handed most of the week 5 hours is  not bad.  I’ve also done some research on exorcism this week.  How about that Smokey?  He’s cooking with 9 hours this week.”
