Currently I'm hanging out with the best friend and the best friend's new(ish) attachment, which is my awesome nephew (the Dragonlet). He's over in the corner playing with his race cars and making "vrooooom" noises and occasionally shooting over devastatingly charming smiles. I've been here since Friday, when I got to meet up with my beta Max for a ( Read more... )

Still alive. I dropped out of Nanowrimo to take care of myself because I felt like adding additional stress to my life would only be bad and I’ve pretty much proven I can write for the rest of the year, anyway. Nanowrimo is great, but if you write year-round, it’s not much but a bunch of people trying to motivate you and telling you to write. My ( Read more... )

( All About My Trip! )

This week, I took a class that my boss was teaching, which was three days (it went from Tuesday to Thursday) and had to deal with how to present positive feedback and how to manage a classroom environment as a trainer. It basically meant three days of being in a classroom with four other students instead of closed off in my office, which took a lot ( Read more... )

Hello, Livejournal friends!

Sorry for the absence lately. Turns out Vicodin doesn't turn me into one of those writers that writes brilliant things under the influence. It seems to tap into my desire to do absolutely nothing. I mean that: absolutely nothing. The amount I accomplished last week was astounding. I got no serious writing done on any of ( Read more... )

We can add another drug to the list of things I should never take again. I was supposed to have a tooth extracted on Thursday, but it turns out that I freak out so much, they have to put me under. In the meantime, since it’ll be a week before they can go in and get the tooth, the dentist gave me Tramadol, which my mom thinks is hilarious because my ( Read more... )

Seen this bouncing around LJ, so I thought I would participate!

1. Name one of your favourite characters

Olivia Dunham. She’s driven, damaged, focused, loves kids but never thought she could be a mother (and had to deal with losing her daughter twice), compassionate, bull-headed, stubborn, an amazing shot, and fantastically droll.

2. Name one of ( Read more... )

I’m not dead!

No, really. Okay, so it’s been a crazy couple of weeks. My sister got married yesterday and I’ve been flexing hours to make up for taking Thursday and Friday off.( Wedding rambling )

Have been buried in fic and wedding stuff lately. And TV watching, of course. I read a rumor that Community might get picked up for a fifth season, which is a little surprising to me, given the rigmarole that NBC put it through, so that seems like every single show I currently watch is coming back for another season. It feels really strange to say ( Read more... )

I think the heroinebigbang deadline might get extended. And I read the rules wrong. So there doesn’t need to be a stay up all night frantically finishing things spree that will involve lots of frappucinos and other things I normally fear, like gummy snakes. Gummy snakes are the bomb for all night writing sprees (it used to be Reese’s Pieces, but after an all- ( Read more... )
