Long time, no post!
I am trying to have a sugar-free Friday. I almost bought a cupcake-- but didn't. Then I almost ate some lemon fudge-- but didn't. Then I tried to satisfy the craving by having mashed banana on top of a cracker spread with cream cheese, which I have to say was surprisingly good. But I still want something sweet, most particularly cake with

My step-grandson-in-law got married last week to a very lovely Canadian girl from, of all places, British Columbia. They live in New York City now and we've gotten to know each other fairly well. We definitely don't fit the stereotypical American family. She came along when we celebrated our 50th anniversary and thought that it was so cool that we went to a pizza place, not a fancy restaurant. She's very down to earth; I like her a lot.
Me, I don't bother with LJ, I just read a lot when I have the time. Most of the mangaka comms are quiet right now, about the busiest one of the ones I frequent is Yamane Ayano and that one is members only.
I just bought a 4 book series called 'Tales of the Waning Moon' by Hyouta Fujiyama. It's BL but a very tame one. The story line is absolutely gorgeous fantasy.
I finally got all my stuff on A03. My last little story garnered 600 hits in 24 hours. 1600 words, one chapter! I still think A03 had a glitch and gave me too many hits. Right now it sits as the #2 top hit story I ever wrote, regardless of fandom.
The story was a timed story with the theme of 'cold'(75 minutes), the first one I ever did. Well, I did two of them for the challenge but it was the first time I ever gave myself a writing time limit.
Your program has a nice idea - just make it through one day at a time. I'll have to try this to help get rid of a few of my 'temptations'. And I've given up on New Year's resolutions - I've already started two new projects while resting my feet on a large box of started items.
Catch you later.

600 hits in 24 hours is awesome! Go, you. I just can't get the hang of A03. It was only about two months ago that I realized that all the Dragon Lady chapters I tried to post there last year didn't go up. I somehow repeated the same chapter four times. Not sure how that happened, since I'm no stranger to uploading stuff, particularly in my job.
Anyway, good for you for accepting that challenge and writing something in 75 minutes! I don't think I could do that without getting a cramp in every typing finger. And maybe my brain.
