No, I kind of stumbled, tripped, and fell into a deep dark pit. I've found a ladder, however.

Is this a metaphor for depression? Well, I'm glad you're feeling better.

What's this group project?

Inspired by NaNoWriMo 2007 (more or less) Isaac suggested a kind of group collaboration on an actual story. Some of us thought it was a good idea and we've been discussing it in Community > General Topics > Group Novel and Community > General Topics > Group Novel Structure. Read the threads to catch up. (M has been lamenting a lack of estrogen in the discussion.)

There is another, actually older project that is also beginning to see progress. Steve has brought his significant other in to "shepherd" (get it) the User's Manuel. He's setting up a Wiki for this purpose.

Are these milestone? Sort of. It's progress, certainly.

Here's to a productive 2008.

Aw, you noticed ... how sweet!

I didn't even notice myself until after I'd made the post. But now it's 202 and counting....

Yes, I just noticed how you helped Bill with his template problem, putting you over 200. (I didn't know he was downloading a ZIP file and not the actual template. But he eventually realized he was clicking the wrong link. Perhaps it's a lesson to all of us to be a little more obvious when naming them.) Good going M.

I walked 6.27 miles yesterday. How's that for milestones?

Ten kilometers, not too shabby. Fun Run or shopping?

Feeling flabby now,

Walking for exercise - I've lost 30lb so far! Plus walking is how I think, how my ideas get formed to the point where I can fling them at paper and hope they stick.

That's a milestone suitable for posting right there!

Enjoy your newfound svelteness.

Hahah, I don't think we want to make this the Calli-weight-loss-forum!

Not even half-svelte,

Zounds, but we are a gabby bunch. You know, M, between you, me and Steve, we account for over a thousand posts. Where do we find the time?

Keep it coming,

Oops! Not so much a gabby bunch as a gabby few, then. **blushes**
Adding to the hot air,

We few, we gabby few, we band of Storyists;
For s/he to-day that adds his comments to mine
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This Forum shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen using MS Word, now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they did not comment here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That added their posts to the Storyist Forum.

Gleefully paraphrased from Henry V, Eve of Saint Crispin's Day speech.

P.S. Thank you for not commenting on how forum members "hold their manhood" as they type. That would be sooo tacky.

[Marguerite]

Congratulations, Calli, on your 100th post!

Welcome to the Big Leagues, Girl!

(That would be big as in "big mouth.")

Marguerite

[Thoth]

Yes. Yea! Congratulations Calli on "turning 100". No grass grows under your feet...uh...fingertips.
