"I'll finish in December guys! See you then!" Yeah, right.
My lame excuse is that terrible thing known as writer's block. I've been having it and still so. But for the sake of a desire to write something/wanting to update this, here's a chapter for ya, but not the final one like I was planning. I may do a few chapters like this.
There wasn't much to write that day.
Again.
He let his forehead rest on the keyboard, groaning in annoyance. "This. Is. Nuts."
"How long have you been moaning there?"
Sprx blinked and turned to face the door of his room. Otto stood there curiously. "Three hours," Sprx replied.
"How much have you done total?"
"..."
"Well?"
"...2000 words."
"Isn't that the same amount you had done yesterday?"
"Yes."
"And the day before?"
"Yes."
"And-"
"Yes, Otto! And the day before that, and the day before that! Will you can it?"
"Sorry. Hey! I could give you some ideas if you want!"
"Thanks, but no thanks. I can do this on my own. I don't need anybody's help. I mean, I'm just having a rough spot. By the end of the week I'll have caught up and then some. You'll see! I mean, it can't be that hard to write 50,000 words in a month, right?"
"Right! Go Sprx!" Otto closed the door.
"Yeah! Go me!" Sprx said. "Look out word count! Face the wrath of SPRX77!" He put his hands to the keyboard and paused for a moment. "..." A few seconds later, he placed his forehead on the keyboard again and went back to groaning.
Yes, it's kinda lame, but it's something. Plus it helps me express my own personal writer's block angst! I'm not doing much better than Sprx is with nano at the moment. XD
