I come to this entry at the end of a long day, not quite sure what to say, but not willing to say the same old things.  Sometimes reciting a list of all the little interesting things of the day just doesn't feel right.

I'm listening to music by OneRepublic, on the recommendation of mariellahunt , onnachareth , and Gabrielle.  The music is lovely.  Too bad one of the ( Read more... )

I tell you, there is nothing quite like checking your email after doing a long chore to find that one of your friends has spammed your blog with comments.  (Thank you mariellahunt !  You totally made my day!  :D )

Anyways, today is my dad's birthday, so all of us girls got together and cleaned his car (inside and out).  It was a lot of fun, especially since ( Read more... )

I have decided that I shall join mariellahunt  and Katie Dahl in their quest to post every day for the next year -- that's 365 entries.  I am probably nuts, but I think I shall be better off for the attempt, even if I fall flat on my face.

Also, after nobly resisting for months, I gave in.  I shall start Script Frenzy tomorrow morning.  I predict I shall make ( Read more... )

HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY, MARIELLA ( Read more... )

As I start today I'm more than a fourth of the way through NaNoWriMo, which is good.  Despite not writing very much, I've still managed to stay ahead of the curve just a little bit.  I'm hoping today to increase the distance between me and the required count, and get myself back in the zone where I can write 2,000 to 3,000 words per day.  Yesterday ( Read more... )

Today is the last day before the Phenomenon deadline!  I've been trying to work on finishing up Chapter 8 and editing some of it, since there's absolutely NO WAY I could finish the whole thing by tonight.  Luckily the posting deadline actually runs all week, so I can post more of it as I go.  A HUGE thank-you to

Because of my lack of "productive" writing in the past few weeks (meaning working on my novels instead of working on my fanfiction), mariellahunt told me on Facebook that I had to write 600 words of my own original fiction by the end of the day.  And I am posting to say: I have succeeded!!

Here is what I wrote (unedited, of course, so please forgive me):

It's ironic that my last two posts should be about my chinchillas.  It really is.  And how strange that I should be talking to Mariella about her bunny dying.  It's just strange.

My baby chinchilla, Joy, died this morning.  She wasn't doing very good last night, but I just didn't think.... I don't know what I thought.  I hoped she would get better ( Read more... )

After taking a two-day break from actually writing (for the most part), I came back and wrote 2500 words without hardly thinking about it.  I am absolutely in love with Q10.  I recommended it to Meggy yesterday and today, and so she's going to look into it.  (Hopefully we should have a new convert sometime soon ( Read more... )

Good grief, this must be the first time that I've posted thrice in one day!  Quite amazing!  LJ is rather addictive, I'm finding ( Read more... )
