Does it surprise anyone?

Of course, I earned the Word Count Padding badge on the first day of NaNo! I excel at Word Count Padding! *g*

To earn the Word Count Padding Badge you must: (1) quote song lyrics or other books in your novel, (2) have a stuttering or triple-named character, (3) write out contractions, or (4) introduce unneeded dream sequences or hallucinations.

I paraphrased a chemistry book, but I would have done that anyway and had forgotten that was a way to earn the badge to begin with.

Of course, I write out contractions!

And I referred to Jim as "James Winthrop Frayne the Second" when Jim would have sufficed (but I only did that once instead of the multiple opportunities I had) and Uncle James as "Great Uncle James Winthrop Frayne the First." I am on a roll!!!! *g*

Oh, and I earned the NaNo Socializing Badge again for hosting a write-in. *g*

Jim? Great Uncle James?

I'm very curious as to what you're writing! :)

I am writing the next four stories in Gethsemane. One is focused on Honey and Brian, one on Dan, and two on Mart and Di.

Ahhhh, fanfic for the third year in a row! Next year, I am doing original fiction. I swear. :)
