Stranger Things, I got sucked in! One of my co-workers is really into it and was bouncing around about the second season being released on Netflix on Friday, so I watched the first episode of the first season on Wednesday...and stayed up until 1am and finished the whole first season, edge of seat the whole time, lol. Then I did the same thing ( Read more... )

Not quite able to tackle a full on NaNo this year, but I'd like to try to poke some writings and get back into the swing of things again, so I'm going to attempt to write and post at least a snippet a day. Or maybe every other day since I'm already behind one! Today's snippet is a Halloween one I didn't quite get done in time for Halloween, ( Read more... )

36307 words! \o/ (What? It's December? I hadn't noticed :P ( Read more... )

24,928 Hrm. Woefully behind. Rl has intervened the last several days, as it does. Still, I'm reasonably happy with what I've managed to write: rather than forging ahead with gleeful drivel in true NaNo style, I've been waiting until brain sorts out what I actually want to write, which can take awhile, hence the slowness. Also, you know that ( Read more... )

13,351 - Caught up! Although in full disclosure, that does include several copy-pasted bits from last year's NaNo attempt that still fit into the rewrite version, so cheating quite a bit. Lots of sitting around just talking, catching Barricade up to current events and breaking his brain, with a few interruptions now and then so it hopefully doesn' ( Read more... )

After a slow start, managed to get fairly caught up to 7308 words today, not too shabby! Queen lyrics managed to sneak in there at some point, not entirely sure how, and I've implied a folk dancing scene I'll now have to find a way to write later on XD Handwaving terribly in many places, it feels like, but some things just don't exist in my head ( Read more... )

Seeing as how I'm completely zonked and I need to get up early tomorrow, I declare myself a NaNo not!quite!winnar! :D *flops* Despite not quite hitting the 50,000, I also declare the month a complete success:

( if for nothing else than it produced scenes with Barricade and kittens )

Made it to 26746, by dint of having the whole day off and not accomplishing much of anything else, and no wildlife calls or visitors or other unexpected things showing up (and writing lots of gloopy glorp and never ever erasing anything - I just change to strikethrough, save those words, yeah bb ;D). Also, I found a nifty Barricade at the grocery ( Read more... )

Things I learned today - groundhogs have the most adorable yawns in the whole world:
Uncurl from nap
Flatten onto belly
One paw stretched forward
HUGE YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNN, maybe even has opossums beat, that was a good 180 degree jaw angle it looked like! Not nearly so many toofs though.
Sit back on haunches and nyap nyap nyap. Hee! :D
