with words I thought I'd never speak

Merry Christmas!!

I was going to post this just after I'd posted the epilogue, but... I forgot. *facepalm* Sorry!! So now, on Christmas, here's the complete version (in Word document format) of Runaway. I think I may've fixed a few typos, but otherwise it's exactly the same as what's posted, but all in one place. Thank you, again, readers, for all of your comments and encouragement while I was writing the story, it means so much to me. ♥

pop quiz in italian today. i didn't do terribly, but i got a few things wrong. stupid indefinite articles. >.< at least i'm good at verb endings. i'm a bit behind on math homework, so i'll try to catch up on that tonight. there'll be a quiz tomorrow in studio, but it's just a fill in the blank type thing, and i'm pretty sure my semi-photographic memory along with some common sense will help me out there. and then, NO SCHOOL FRIDAY!!!!! i dunno why. is it a holiday? LOL i need to start a painting, though, before going to art class, so i'll have something to work on.

i finished editing the epilogue of runaway. and then i formatted it all into a new document and did a word count and stuff, which was WAY harder than it should've been, because i had to NOT count all the chapter headings and the "***" i use for scene changes. it came out to 50,360 words, but the last 100 of that is a quote and the the source of the quote and the fin. but that's okay, it's still over 50,000 words, which was my goal while writing the last couple of chapters. it helps for the upcoming nanowrimo to know that i've at least written that much for one fic before now, y'know? anyway, i think runaway will be finished posting on nov 8th, and then i'll have a q&a post and i think i'll upload the completed .doc for anyone who wants to save it all in one place.

let's see, what else did i want to say? um... oh, yesterday the guy who sits next to me in math class wore a fedora and i couldn't keep my eyes off him. it looked awesome. annnnd, uhh... oh, my scad essay just needs a conclusion and then probably some tweaking, but then it should be done. conclusions are the worst part of essays, though, at least for me. oh, and my sat scores will be online this saturday, i think, so yay! hopefully i did better this time than last time. i think i did, but i'm not sure.

does anyone know what happened to faces_fit/last_glances? the last post i saw, they were working out some of the issues, and then it was gone. :(

Yes, you read that right. RunAway is back. It's been about six months since the last chapter, so you may want to refresh your memory. Here's links for the previous chapter, Liar, and the complete story index.


( Author's note )

so. I'm not as far ahead as I thought I was. but I still have a bit more written than I have posted, so that's good. for me anyway, if not for you. lol!

posted: up through Liar
written: up through Play, which is the chapter after Liar

so, as you can see, not very far ahead. >.< the reason I thought I'd written more was because Play is a bit longer than normal. I figured it would have to be, after not posting for so long, lol.

BUT WAIT, I could be wrong about this. because.... I think I did write more, just on my jump drive at school! because I distinctly remember writing part of Dom's chapter, and I don't see it in the document... hmmm.... I'll have to check on that. but I also wrote a bit that's nearer to the end, so maybe that's also what I'm thinking of. except I think I'm going to end up cutting out that whole mini-story arc because it's unnecessary and it'll just drag the whole thing out for (probably) too long. so after this test tomorrow, I'm going to finally devote some time to writing - more than just a few minutes here and there, anyway. because I want this fic to be DONE and POSTED so I can move on to other fics. and I know you all want it done too. :)

official stats of the entire fic put together:

98 pages (in a Word doc)
approx 37,300 words (including chapter titles and scene breaks)
working on 50th chapter of (approx) 60 total
