I was probably as tempted to quit today as I've ever been. I had absolutely nothing, no notes or ideas -- I didn't take lunch today -- and I'm very stressed about unrelated things. The last thing I wanted to do was sit down and pull 2000 words out of my ass. But I did.
I guess it was my mood, but somehow I ended up writing a fictionalized version of a horrible romantic rejection I suffered as a teenager, applied to the villain of my story in his respective youth. I think if I rewrite this to be a proper story I have to make him less pathetic. Getting messed around by a girl is a pretty good reason to be depressed, but it's kind of lame as a motivation for killing people.
Now I have to write 1958 words for each of the remaining days to win. Thanksgiving Day, I am so counting on you.

_hannelore, here's my favorite version of I Crush Everything. It was recorded in a studio, but broadcasted live in Second Life... I think, or something. I dunno anything about that game. Anyway, it's legal to download this.
Jonathan Coulton - I Crush Everything
For the rest of you, this is a song about a giant squid who hates himself. Or is it? Well, yes it is, but it's also about other things.
