UM. It depends how bad the plot hole is!!! But yeah, I feel you. I think I might have to rewrite several parts of my story because of the plotholes. >.>

It's possible to write 1000+ words a day, so GOOD LUCK if you want to try that!!!

LAST DAY


I actually did not manage to complete my goal of 25,000 words but like @ToastK , I achieved self fulfilment!
I have the basic plot line now (and character backstories) and I will continue working on this in the next month.
Everyone did an amazing job, and I loved reading all of your updates (even if I was too lazy to update on my own progress) Some of these ideas I’m really looking forward to reading if they end up being published on YWS, and I guess if they don’t, I’ll just have to bear the torture
Spoiler
Ehm..ehm.. @NadyaStatham Detective Gonzalez

But seriously, these were all so many great ideas @Spearmint your detailed world building, @Roxanne your mystery was very mysterious, @EllieMae when am I going to find out who that man really was when the protagonist regains her eyesight? @Snoink you definitely reached the finish line this time, and I had so much fun reading your out of context quotes! @goodolnoah I have become a fan of your art and like I said, the guy in the butterfly? That was 100% me @Valkyria I kind of really like Idris :smt050

ITS NOT THE LAST DAY OF JULY??
That’s embarrassing, everyone needs to forget I wrote all of that right now. And pretend I wrote it on thirty first instead :shock:

I had a feeling you thought it was the last day of the month so I just... subtly hinted that there were a few more days XDDD Dont worry, every month I need to search "how many days are there this month" because I never know lol! Best of luck to you today and tomorrow!! Also, Red is such a cool nickname!! capitalized Red or lowercase red?

Hey Isbah... I mean Red ^^ (love the new name btw)
I really appreciate the support to my stories and I'm sure Det. Gonzales does too. You have inspired me a lot with your comments and now this one too XD I'll be sure to tag you, if I decide to post it on YWS. Thank you so much!!!
