^ LoL, you and your word count hatred. That is why I heart you. I still expect you to read it. I figure only 1,428 words over the limit is reasonable and should still hold your attention. After all, you did read my December response and that was 10,000+ words. ;D

ok, I sucked it up this time. Not only am I wondering how much this actually counts as a suspense, but I exceeded the word count too by 784 words. LOL I'm right there with you Ashley! But yours was at least probably scary.

I dunno Mare, you'll have to read it (or at least 3,000 words of it :P) , and then let me know whether it counts or not.

I guess if it doesn't I can try to come up with something else. LOL I don't know what my deal is with the challenge this time. It had to be the "involve Kevin but don't kill him or make him the bad guy" rule. I had a hard time with that!

I tried though! Very hard! And it's a good story, so read it!

haha maybe... if it counts. I may have to write another one.


but yeah, I finally finished it after finishing that last FF chapter, and actually wrote half a Jamie chapter today too. YAY for getting writing done in any form!

There, I do believe everyone who said they were going to do this months challenge, has in fact done so. Yay! (but don't quote me on that cause I didn't double check.)
