I'm finding it surprising just how fascinating I'm finding socioeconomics. I'm serious. It sorta began in CrashCourse, but now I'm working it into my nanonovel and MAN. I mean, ok, I'm starting with the obvious, characters in the late 1920's suffering the consequences of corruption and excess and everything goes horribly wrong on October 28th ( Read more... )

As I am fond of doing sometimes, I made the main character of my nano in eLouai's dollmaker. It was difficult to find elements that weren't so painfully eye-candy-coated that looking at my character wouldn't cause epileptic seizures.

That into consideration, I'm rather pleased with how she turned out.

Today was supposed to be productive.

I didn't write a single word of nano. I barely managed to do half the homework I meant to do.

Sigh.

Today's a funk. I'm still a little gray-feeling from yesterday, though marked improvement has shown. I'm eating and stuff, I'm just fatigued. I did rather poorly on my math exam last week, partly because I was rushing, partly because I was tired, and partly because I didn't have my calculator. Frankly, I'm ready for this term to be over. I'm ( Read more... )

I spent the whole day reading science websites and planning for my science-fiction/fantasy fusion novel. I am SO proud of myself. I REALLY REALLY like this idea! And I seem to have managed to, at least in concept, avoid most of the REALLY peevish cliches. Ok, so I'm gonna have faster-than-light travel and I won't explain it very well. So sue ( Read more... )

Yay.And NOW they turn off Family Guy. Bitches ( Read more... )

Two hours and two hundred fifty words. I'm reaching the climax of my story. I'm sitting on my mom's couch in exactly the same position in which I wrote most of last year's novel. Family Guy is on the television. Sarah's on AIM. Birthday Massacre is on iTunes. This would seem to be the basic formula for a perfect win of NaNoWriMo ( Read more... )

The bad news is, I've yet to find a job. The good news is, I have more prospects and more motivation than I did a week ago (encroaching rent will do that to a person). The other good news is that QFC is looking promising. It'd be deli, so more food service, but there is the advantage of the five-minute commute, the possible employee discount on ( Read more... )

And the Highlander spree continues. Now I'm at Mum's house, watching season 2 (I'm probably gonna steal it from her, because I can guarentee I'd watch it more than she does), sitting on the damned couch talking to Sarah on AIM and doing nanowrimo. Just like old times. Mythbusters was on when I got in, but it ended and I wanted to watch ( Read more... )
