Guys, the intensity level of NaNoing in this house has been turned up to eleven. It is insane. Just today Angel broke 7k in one day, because she is amazing, and several Dances of Word Count were performed in celebration (as well of the Blanket Dance of Congratulation and the Sifter Dance of Congratulation ( Read more... )

So, Mel is all moved into her dorm room--I went to help set up, and despite the fact that it smells like a dorm (augh college flashback help!) it's really nice. It's big! There is and insane amount of storage! It makes my freshman dorm look like a poorly designed shoebox (which it was--a horrible cinder-block shoebox). So that's fine and dandy ( Read more... )

I've decided to officially give up on the NaNo this month. I just can't take the stress--I didn't think about word count at all for two days, and I feel a lot better. So I plan to keep writing, but not to freak out about word count goals--instead my goal is to make 50,000 words by the end of January. December if I can, but January at the outside ( Read more... )

Oh man, this is so adorable, I want to put her in my pocket and carry her off. And the whole wedding is gorgeous--some of you will recognize the bride and her fabulous dress, because a while ago I linked to the dressmaker's incredible website ( Read more... )

I think I'm naming my external hard drive Bedivere.

My goals, they shrink. Tonight I coaxed out 500 words, and now I'm going to bed.

Mm, bed. My bed in my nice clean room. Nice.

Yay making daily wordcount goal!

Now, if only I hadn't already missed two days. The Excel spreadsheet is reproachfully pointing out that I'm a little behind. Pfft. Hush, silly spreadsheet! I wrote 2039 words! And wrote a pretty fab post for my steampunk RP. I paint the world with words! I make literary magic! I WRITE LIKE A MOFO ( Read more... )

Just a quick post to answer your questions for Briony:

So here's a question for Briony: If you could break a rule, which one would it be?The one that says you have to go to school and learn useless things that don’t interest you. If you aren’t going to use it, and you don’t like it, why do you have to learn it? Why shouldn’t you get to spend ( Read more... )

Pick a utensil - fork, spoon, knife, spork, or chopsticks. Now tell me why you picked that one. What does this utensil say about you?
A butter knife, because I like toast, and it can double as an art tool.

. Look around your room. Find three objects which describe aspects of your personality and elaborate on them. Why did you pick these things?

So, against my better judgment, I have signed up for this year's NaNoWriMo. I'm going to try to write more scribbles and drabbles of things that are floating around in my head, so that I can find a concept I think I can write 50,000 words about, and then see if I can make some notes. And then see if I can actually do it ( Read more... )
