Ah, I told myself I would finish this this morning, before the afternoon, with my morning coffee, and that is exactly what I did.

So, Trying Tuesday came to a total of ~48 pages. I somehow thought that this would be my longest AIW project, but it's a funny story. It is exactly as long in pages as He's Having My Baby, but its word-count is 24,000. HHMB's is only 19,000. Meanwhile, A Hatter's Obligation was 40 pages even and 16,000 words.

I need to go back and edit part 3, but it's still a completed project, in my book, and I'm glad that I can move on, especially since this was a plot bunny I started two years ago, during NaNoWriMo 2010. phew!

It was also a rewarding experience to spend more time characterizing Rabbit and thinking of things that would be a part of his life. The story became a little more about Hatter than I thought, though, especially since the song in this and Freaky Friday, "Hit Me Baby One More Time", is sung by him, and it's Britney Spears, one of Hatter's divas, as far as I'm concerned. (It was making me think of Akira a lot!)

Anyway, here it is.

Favorite Quotes

“Oh, come on. One day without Hare being pappy-smappy by your side, and this is what you're reduced to?”

"Are you and Hatter getting married yet? It should've happened by now, I'd think.”

To his utter dismay, when he burst into the darkness like his escape was granted to him, June was quick to react. He was sure, even, that he'd seen her throw her teacup over her shoulder and bolt for him as soon as he was leaving!

Hare and Rabbit both cut through the mushrooms and looked up to the shadow of the Caterpillar's.

“Sorry about that. We're just running away from Hatter. He's drunk and confused.”

“Well, I'm trying to get some bloody rest! Here, take this,” and he handed Rabbit some kind of object that he felt up and down until he could identify it as a frying pan. In short distance, there was a pool of moonlight dipping through the treetops. Rabbit stepped there, where Hatter could see him, but turned towards Hare.

“You don't mind, do you?”

I'm going to keep this at the forefront of my mind, truly. Or else at New Years I'll feel horrible.

8. Plan CP4.

Oy, well, since NaNoWriMo is around the corner, which will kick me in the butt to write, no matter what I choose, I think I'm going to be an artist instead of a writer for the next five days. It might also be a better idea since I continue to have all of this shit to do for school. It would actually *really* please me if Tearin' Up My Heart was finished for Halloween, like a present to myself. :) Then I can finally talk about it on here. You guys probably don't even remember since I started it in January.

NaNoWriMo, I don't even know still what will happen. When I talked to Jenna last night about Nosferatu in Love, I remembered why it would be so fun to work on it. But He's There, mannn, He's There! I hate this. Maybe I'll just do them both. Somehow. And go crazy, meanwhile.
