Jack Delaney looked down at the lifeless, barely clothed body of Tinkerbell. On the face of it, it looked like a suicide, the self ingestion of poison, but something about this case just didn't add up...
Quote: AndreaLynne @ November 15 2009, 2:33 PM GMTI once wrote a dream sequence for something, just so I could say I had written for the day.
Hey, any writing is far better than none at all! Unless it's posting on here!
Then I noticed a small black feather, it was a duck's if I'm not mistaken...

I was in Philly on the 19th, playing poker with my associates, I gots witnesses and everything copper.

and it seemed to glimmer as I turned it round in my fingers, as if some kind of liquid, some viscous, once-white fluid, had crystalised and crusted on its surface.
Quote: Moonstone @ November 15 2009, 2:32 PM GMTWhat's your word count? I find 250 is a nice round figure, and merits a few days celebratory holiday if completed.
1,100. I need to cut at least 50 words.
And 2,595. This one should be fine, and I'm allowed 5% over the word count.

Damn her if she didn't remind him of Kylie Minogue as the Absinthe fairy. Absinthe. He thought. Absinthe.
Thirteen hours later he awoke in a pool of his own vomit.
Time to go to work.
Jack Delaney's stomach flipped like a broken washing machine when he chanced upon a discarded condom close to the victim's body. On closer examination, he discovered that the rubber sheath had traces of Vaseline slowly drying on it's surface and that tiny, fairy hand sized scratch marks had been made on the inside of this plastic coffin.
Tinkerbell wasn't poisoned, she was asphyxiated, but in the worst possible way.
If by chance, anyone from Disney or Pixar are reading this, I do have a full script.

Yay, at last they sound like normal essays! 5% is still rhubarb though, you might as well just have no buffer at all!
It's because the 500 word ones all go into a big portfolio, whereas these two are a midterm and a coursework piece.
Quote: Marc P @ November 15 2009, 2:47 PM GMTWord count at the moment I am doing a minimum of a thousand words a day. Some are longer than others though.
If you ever want a break without feeling guilty just type 'a' 1000 times! It's a word still!

Can I have the cut words. I need more words.

Still, must be a relief to have space to breathe in! Must say they're giving you a lot to do though, I'm sure we never had this much at such an early stage.
*shrugs* It's all rushing by very fast, so I'm not sure I'm really noticing it anymore. It's like a constant stream of stress which fades into being normality. 
Awww. Only another 7 years to go though till you get your PHD! And then you become the first prime minister ever to wear a Pikachu hat! We've got your future all planned out for you!
