I can type out about 400 words in 40 minutes and be complete without going back, if it's a draft I can get about 4 pages in a in hour.

I never timed it, but one page of microsoft word is about 600 words (the way I write, anyway) so that's about 1k words an hour. That's single spaced, though. It takes less time to write school paper's pages cause they have to be double spaced.

I didn't get an actual word count. It was 1.5 spaced pages using TextEdit. I wish I could get the same inspiration now... Chapter 5 is taking FOREVER to finish. :P

I've been trying to make each initial chapter about ten pages long. Chapter 5 still only has about 4 and a half

I know what you mean. It's a balancing act that is a serious pain to maintain. At least Shadi seems to like the story though - that gives me hope.

which one is it?

only family has seen mine but i can't get the family reader to give me some constructive criticism (scared i'll say something :rolleyes: ) if i had all the time in the world to write it...i am certain it would me more than half way done by now...i just need to play around with the characters and their interactions (some of my lines are far too educated...and too much of that in casual conversation sounds really cheesy and unatural :lol: )

Though sometimes a character is supposed to be cheesy and unnatural (but yeah).

And which one what?

Oh. No, it isn't. Shadi is just one of a handful of people on a mailing list that I send each chapter as I finish it. I can e-mail you a copy of the story so far if you'd like (plus, if you like it then you can be on my case Every Day to get the next chapter done, which will help me to write it and the few like Shadi who are reading it would thank you too).

Barest bones? ... guess you'd say boy meets girl. But it's epic Fantasy wrapped in science fiction. Or at least, that's the idea...

with all the things i read you'd probably finish writing the story before i got to chapter five XP i am so diligent when it comes to reading (my patience extends to most of these posts and comics outside of school work :-/ ) but it's funny how one teacher though he could guess which of the students were readers and which weren't (i was deemed a readeer though i am not B) am i that good that i can fool teachers into believing such?)

You could start a thread in the Art room - writing is art. I'd be interested.
