Vacation, NaNoWriMo, and Characters in a Can (et al)

Aug 19, 2005 13:16

Stupid f-ing "DPSCS Network" ate my damned LJ entry. And it was all cool and such. You know, it's a good thing that I don't have a lot of real work to do around here. Because as much as they screw up our computers at this pathetic excuse for an agency, I would get nothing done. I can't even open my Internet right now. So I can't check my email or ( Read more... )

Oh, Uli....?

::attempts to coax Uli out of hiding::

Don't worry, I will not be in the least offended if people choose to remain invisible to me when I appear on YIM or skip reading my LJ entries, if blathering strings of random syllables can be called "entries." In fact, I will probably be hallucinating too hard to notice :D

Yay!
*huggles Dawn*
I'm so glad you're going to do NaNo!!!

If you want to see the insanity it causes, I kept a journal (LJ) each day last year. You can see the IQ drop day by day. By the end, I was reduced to a blithering idiot. Seriously. It was bad. I could not complete sentences.

So much FUN!!!!

This is gonna be FUN! I helped recruit another hapless novel writer! LOL! Now, I have support to help me finish!

I did a practice run with April Fool's (unofficial NaNoWriMo in April). I tried to get to 50k, but ended up with 35k... I think. Either way, you won't be alone in the pulling-out-of-hair department, and my strawberry-blond hair will be in the floor with your dark blond... and Arandil's brown (I think she's got brown hair)... and a few other I know... LOL!

WOOHOO!

Arandil has auburn hair. AUBURN!
Not brown.
There is a difference.
Not copper either.
But enough red in it to not be brown.

Sowwy! *hides*

Well, you could say that my hair color *almost* matches the color of those ugly orange barrels along the highway... but no... I clash...

So do NaNoWriMo. Do it now. You will regret it if you do not.

Nope. Not a writer, you see. :)

Good luck with yours, though.

Yay! That's awesome, Juno!

Although I doubt there will be any "leisure" about it for me ;)

I've already finished one novel, am almost finished the second (AMC, which I am hoping is done *well* before NaNoWriMo), and so I am hoping that this will be painless....

I'm sure it won't, but I'm hoping!

I will send you the chapters today, btw. Work got crazy right before I left and I was on my way home and like "Crap! I forgot to send the chapters to Juno!" And as I was forbidden from accessing my Sweet Connection from that point forward (except to do my page for the day, since I had taken an Oath about that and even my husband recognizes the dangers of unfulfilled Oaths), then I had to wait for my return to send it.

Okay, rambling done; off to join crazy_writing!
