Okay, so even though I have three birthdays this weekend, lots of homework, a concert, and I have to clean the entire house, I just have to make time to do this. Because this seems like a lot of fun =P I'm definitely joining =D The biggest challenge for me will be writing less than 753 words =P

I won't be able to let you guys know if I finished this or not on Mon. We have internet problems at home, and the library's open for so long tomorrow, and not at all on Sun.

Warg!!!

I failed the wordcount. XD I ended up with a murder mystery where the ghost of my main character swears she was killed by a nun and now has to solve her murder beyond the grave. 753 words it is not. :P
