I've written about 2k words, which is something, but I should probably pick up the pace if I'm gonna get it done in time.

Last contest, I got second to last. This time, I’m going to redeem myself. Count me in.

So far, I've finished one route of five, maybe six, and I'll soon be finished with a second. I'm kind of worried that it might be a little too edgy?

But I think it'll turn out okay. (:

I love haikus.
