    Hey, no problem, man. It's what I do! ^_^ I look forward to seeing how this particular angle develops. It's the first shadow we've seen from the otherwise infallible Lance. The question is, was it a mistake or was it sabotage?

    As for the sentences that ended in prepositions, since you're asking...


    The older man halted abruptly.

    This does not end in a preposition, but since I noticed it while looking for them, "abruptly halted" would be a tad more correct. Sometimes it's reasonable to bend that rule for effect - you've done it elsewhere, and I can see why in many of those occasions - but I'm not sure it's a helpful technique here.


    He shook himself sternly and returned to the thick wad of printed documents he was meant to be reading through.

    "through which he was meant to be reading" is a legitimate fix, but I'd almost prefer just scratching the "through."


    He also sported a very raw graze on his left cheek, which he had apparently refused any treatment for.

    "for which he had apparently refused any treatment."


    Sarah twirled a strand of her wavy brown hair nervously.

    Adverb use again. "nervously twirled" doesn't lose any of the effect, methinks.


    ...Yeah, so I ended up including a bit more in that than just the "prepositions ending sentences" stuff. Sorry. However, I figured that, knowing you, you'd probably want to see those sentences too.
    IT HAS RETURNED.

    Default Re: Lisa the Legend - NaNoWriMo Day 17: 15,524/50,000

    I'm finally back NaNoWriMo-ing and making some good headway. I'm particularly glad that I rushed ahead at the beginning, or I'd feel something akin to utter despair right now.

    I know I can do this.

    At the end of Day 17 I'm sitting on 15,524 words.

    Thanks for your support and faith and blah blah blah guys! (I do mean it, despite the sarcastic blah blah blah.)

    Cheers!!!

    EDIT: 4000th POST! FINALLY. Couldn't have made it in a better place, either. ^_^ Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
