How is your Supernova coming along?:Well, it isn't, really. I have plenty of ideas, but haven't really started yet. (No story is really started till I hit the 10K mark, because before that, there are too many things that can go wrong).
Have you encountered any obstacles? How are you working with them?: My main obstacle is called "life", closely followed by "getting distracted by the internet" and "getting distracted by knitting".
What is making you excited about your story right now?: The possibilities. So many things I can do with the ideas I'm playing with. It's scary, really. It could be amazing, or it could fall on its head.
Current Word Count (If you'd like to share):Pathetically low...
Shoe Size: UK 6 (in case anybody would like to knit me some socks LOL As if I hadn't knitted enough of them myself already...)

I am not talented enough to knit socks. Scarves however...
:)

Oh, if you can do scarves, socks are just one step up! Just need to find a way of doing heels and toes that work for you, but it's mostly knitting in the round :)

Scarves are good as well... I once knitted a Tom Baker scarf (from Doctor Who). NEVER AGAIN. That thing ate 6 months of my life... Are you on Ravelry by any chance?

I've never knitted in the round before. I don't know how :(
And since I don't know what that is I'm going to say no.

I did knit my mom a purse once. That's my NEVER AGAIN.

Ravelry is an online community for knitters and crocheters :) Quite lively, and full of very nice people. Addictive. Very.

Knitting in the round is one of those things that looks daunting but once you get the hang of it's really easy...

Purses.... Yeah, not easy, at times :) But I'm sure your mom did appreciate the effort :) It tends to be the way with handmade... people appreciate the effort, even if they hate the finished thing LOL

Ah. I don't actually knit that often.
And crocheting? Whoo boy. I can't for the life of me crochet a straight line. heh. So bad.

I entirely agree. But there are these things called "bills" that have to be paid with this quaint thing called "money" that apparently I can only get by doing this thing called "work" that seems to eat most of my life away... :)

Getting started can be the most wonderful and terrifying part, but I'm sure all will turn out well in the end. There's plenty of time!

I knitted a little bear once, but I don't really remember how to knit anymore, but it does sound like a lot of fun.

Good luck!

Oh, little bears can be so much fun to knit! :)

Yeah, the beginning is terrifying. So much can go entirely wrong. Or entirely right...Blank-page-syndrome, that's me...

Thanks :)
