aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhgggggggguuuuuuuuu! This is the sound of excitement and fear!
Daphne is unfolding at my feet. She’s set up the meeting with G, and Oh! My heart is aching at the very idea! If only I can get that ache onto the paper!
One more day, maybe two, and Daphne will be finished, bar re-edits, which will be plentiful. I already know most of the places I’m going to edit, which I assume is quite good. Finished, I say! Did you hear me? Fini!!

After, there’s Iris, who hopefully shouldn’t take long – not if I keep going with my two hours a day – , and after that the hardest bit of all, which is going to require me to actually settle down and do some scientific research (via google, of all things, since there are no English libraries where I live, and we all know what a “whizz” I am at google).

But the story as it is will have been written. I can’t believe it! Hence absurd sentence length and inappropriate frequency of exclamation marks! I can see the end! I can actually damn well see the end!

Dave, Jen, all the other writers on my list, just sit down and write! Words come! Exclamation marks flow! Write! Write! Write!
