i have made it to 25 000 words! yeehaw. and there was something else, some wonderful revelation of mine.... but i now have no idea what, and it saddens me. :< i really must do something about this shot short term memory of mine.. in my story, i had someone slash the main character's tires, and so it went to a shop to get fixed, and then i forgot about her having to go pick it up the next morning, and i had her driving all around town and then i was like.... oops. we've got to go back and fix this.
