"I wonder how I am going to get to fifty thousand words for NaNoWriMo..."
"I wonder how you are going to get to fifty thousand words for NaNoWriMo..."
"That is what I was wondering."
"What were you wondering?"
"What was I wondering?"
"I think you were wondering how you were gong to get to fifty thousand words on NaNoWriMo."
"Fifty thousand words on NaNoWriMo? That sounds like a lot..."
"I think fifty thousand does sound like many, many words. You should try your best, nonetheless."
"I am going to try my best though, even if it does sound like a lot."
"I wonder how long it would take me to do one thousand?"
"Try a word sprint."
"I think I will try a word sprint."
"Time yourself."
"I will time myself."
"How many characters?"
"I wonder how many characters I have so far."
"That would be something to know."
"Something to know?"
"Well, if you don't know anything, you can find out how many characters you have so far. And if you know how many characters you have so far, you will know something, and, in turn, you will no longer not know anything."
"But why must I make so many characters? I'm not writing a story about a whole city!"
"Before you ask "characters" as in characters like people from or for a book, I will tell you. I mean characters as in letters. Letters, number, punctuation marks..."
"Letter, number and punctuation marks? What did we puncture?"
"We punctured something? What? Was it a balloon?"
"I didn't know letters could puncture things!"
"I guess letters can puncture things. Well, then let us hope it is not that bad..."
"Bad? But I did not do anything!"
"I did not say you did not do anything. I did not say you did do anything either."
"Then why are punctuation marks bad?"
"Punctuation marks? Is that what you mean by puncture?"
"I do not know. What are punctuation marks?"
"Periods, commas, and exclamation points."
"Commas??? Like the Spanish word for eat?"
"And, no, comma is not the Spanish word for 'eat'."
"What is it?"
"I guess it is a little like a 'j', but it got squashed..."
"How do you pronounce a squashed 'j'?"
"Pronounce, punctuate, there is a difference?"
"Well, they both start with 'p's..."
"But I do not like peas. They are to... pea-y."
"Pea-y?"
"They make me think of a hollow room with no doors, windows, or lights. Even though there is no light, it is still all grey. A light grey that looks like it is glowing, but it isn't. There is no light, but you can see because the grey is a lighter shade."
