Darn HE. I was hoping to beat you. Well, now that I can't be first, I'll try to be last.

Mine is all written up. I'll just spend the next 18 days or so agonizing over it and editing it to death.

I actually had mine written yesterday by about 1pm. Heh. However, this month, I'm being smart. I've sent it out to a few friends of mine and they're gonna read it critically for me. Then I'm gonna revise. Then they're gonna read the revisions and repeat. Now, if only they'd hurry their reading up.

Well, the story I posted has little likeness to the story I plotted in bed last night. That story was...well, that story was forgotten this morning when I sat down at my keyboard. I'm going to have to begin keeping a notebook by my bed or buy a laptop and keep that there. The only notion most certainly brought into today's story from last night's is the idea of the Keep, why it's there and what it contains and how that seems to adolescents six or seven generations removed from its creation.
Hopefully, today's story gives you enough information to make of the Keep anything you like.

You guys are making me feel like a sluggard. If I could just get some uninterupted time I could pound it out...whine whine whine

...and I am looking forward to reading all entries as per usual.

Man I want a drink now with all this talk of nog. I'll have to settle for lots of cream in my next cup of coffee.

In the spirit of the season, I give you His Eyes, How They Twinkled.

**Daddy Darth** · December 2nd, 2009, 01:34 PM

Did you write a story about Santa for us all to enjoy?

Have you all read this? I suppose we can all stop writing now. Truly in the presence of a master. Well done.

**Loerwyn** · December 2nd, 2009, 02:53 PM

Suppose I have to try again, don't I?

I'll return to a first person PoV I think. Enjoyed writing like that, and I'll need to make sure I take advice from last month's!
