So, here are my totals for last year. My goal was initially to do 500 words a day. Then I cut it down to 1,000 words a week. Most months I didn’t make that goal, especially in the last six months of the year when word count production was cut in thirds due to stress and like no free time for myself. Also, I am just ridiculously amused that my ( Read more... )

I totally spaced on making a post yesterday. Oops. Cuz yes I am still trying to post every Tuesday, so I post at least once a week and Tuesday is good, cuz I don't have therapy that day. But I got distracted on Tumblr. I know what you're thinking, "Oh no, she's fallen into the abyss, we are losing her!" But fear not, I am not lost ( Read more... )

I was sad to hear of Christopher Lee's passing. So rarely has a man made such a large impact on the film industry as Sir Christopher Lee. His life was lead to the fullest. He was an inspiration to seize the day. I went looking for some interesting facts about the man and found a great list of things in this article. To quote and summarize a ( Read more... )

So, so sad to hear of Andrew Lesnie's passing. His work bringing Middle-Earth to life was unparalleled. He was a genius of cinematography and his passion was always evident in everything he did. When the first Hobbit extended edition came out on DVD, I remember squealing and shouting his name when I saw him in the behind-the-scenes. As if ( Read more... )

This website, ebooks-trees, has been using a bot to randomly and rapidly steal fics archived at AO3 and other places. Without permission. And then making money off those fics through the advertisements they sell there and, ( Read more... )

So, now that it is the end of the first month of 2015, how about I put up my word counts for 2014? lol I stopped putting up my monthly counts last year just because I was so sick at the beginning of the year, but I continued to keep track of what I was writing, if not weekly, at least throughout the month. So, here it all is!

Today is Tuesday, so I’m making a post. I’m going to try to keep up this ‘Pig In A Post’ thing, where I make a post every Tuesday, as it helps me keep on my journaling. And also it is a clever name, shut up ( Read more... )

So I had a really good weekend, though I am exhausted now. Friday The BFF and I watched some of The Flash. (The Flash/Arrow crossover ep, omg, squee & flail!). The Nephew came on Saturday and went to my mom’s to watch Brave. (We watched Frozen with her last week and I really liked them both, but I think I liked Frozen better. I’m a musical ( Read more... )

This meme was going around on Tumblr and I thought I would give it a try. There are so many books that have stuck with me over the years, it is hard to pick just ten. And then some of them I can’t remember the names of! There was this children’s book that I checked out from the library every single time I went for like a year straight at the age ( Read more... )
