Labor-Day weekend

Car problems prevented me from enjoying this weekend. Yep, it went back to its all tricks again, scaring the heck out of me when it stop while I was driving on the highway. In the past 4 days, I've taken it three times (including this morning) to the mechanic. He is totally baffled and doesn't know what else to do to it. (On a personal note, I think the car is haunted by gremlins.) He hopes that the car keeps working fine after today's changes. I hope so too. Of course, I had this long list of things that were necessary to do THIS weekend, before the semester starts and things kick in at work. So with the car problems, I had to try to get them all done, which wasn't easy. So little time, so many things to do! I crammed every hour as best I could. Sadly, I didn't get to do all the things in my "to-do" list though. So from now on, my schedule would be more hectic. *sighs* So on the writing front, as you can already guess, I didn't do much writing this long weekend. By the time I had time to sit and write, my Muses were a bit tired. I think I put around 1,000 words. (For a total of 5,100 words.) Basically I tighten chapters 1 and 2 - the latter with the escape scene. I still have to work that chapter 2 though. Chapter 2 still has some loose ends that I'm not happy with. *sighs* But today is the day. The deadline for the Phaze's Shiver is in 2 1/2 hours, and I've not written "THE END." And I don't see that happening in the 2 hours. There's too much in the story to wrap it up in two hours. I knew there would be no time for getting it critiqued, but at least I'd hoped to edit it a bit. No dice. Besides, the synopsis and my bio aren't done either.
