Beach Blanket Poltergeist, gen, Supernatural. Despite the kind of odd title, this is a great, mid-length story with a tone I really love. It's a very well-crafted California story, too.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

What is even happening?
Is "/" the backslash, and "" the slash? I thought it was the other way around.
eta...
The slash that's on the key to the right of the key with "}" and "]" won't show up in my post. I was trying to put in the slash that goes from top left to bottom right.

/ is slash.
And apparently the backslash is disallowed in the posting box. Though Wikipedia has your back.
Oh, bad pun SA. That was unintentional.

It was more adorkable than actually bad, SA. Thanks.

Wow, I can not imagine writing 6000 words in a day. Yeah, when I was in school and pulling an all-nighter to get a paper done, but otherwise? I'm not even that fast a touch typist!

Fast, prolific, and good are the trifecta of most successful novelists's tricks.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
It's a lot, but I can believe it; for NaNoWriMo, I write 2000 words a day by scraping together 2 hours in which to write. If I wrote full time, 6 or 7 hours a day, I'd aim at 6000 or so a day; no hope while I'm studying, or if I was working, but if write was all I did... we're into daydream land, mind you.

Indeed. My mom, as a professional writer, has a strict schedule she sticks by to keep producing. There are, of course, endless revisions, but at that stage the production is the most important and hardest part. With eight hours to write in and the motivation to do it, one could accomplish a lot.

Choosing my Yuletide noms this year was tough! The last three years I had a pretty set list--Narnia, The Dark is Rising, King Arthur/The Abhorsen Series. All books, all things I wanted! But this year I'm skewing more towards new media in television/movies--Heroes, Dexter, The History Boys. I chose Rome last year, and put it back on for this year too, 'cause I love it. And it's coming back in January.
