seven thousand three hundred and ninety seven.

i've just finished the finish. not to be confused with finishing the finnish...

now, i'm in the compile mode...



later added:

wow. here's a little warning, if it's a long story - cut and paste it - then save it. i sat and edited the 1135 series to add put them all together under the same title, and add the ending...

it took a long time.

my browser timed out.

when i hit the save icon, the screen returned the "must be signed in" message.

i was a little sad......

so i did it again. made a few changes, saved. changes, saved. changes, saved.

it's done.

i went back and removed all of the past 1135's. i gotta say, that sucked. it was like tossing my children off of a cliff. the worst part was losing all of the great commenets and guesses at where the story was going.

the up side is that i freed up space for eleven more stories on my front page. i didn't realize how many stories i had posted until i noticed that some of my stories were missing when i was playing with the series today. turns out i rolled over to a second table of contents.

i was thinking, as i was deleting stories that the joke would really be on me if my entry was too big and couldn't be published...

the entire series pegged out at about 7,500 words.
