Dueling laptop session with Charis this afternoon at Starbucks. I've written 2,131 words today, bringing my total word count to 8,389 which makes me approximately a day behind on where I ought to be ( Read more... )

I have signed up for Nano, this year. Because, I have finally come to grips with the fact that I am certifiably insane and it looks like fun*.

*for extremely odd values of fun

So, I saw Z's post about not being at WGAP tonight. However, I've read 10 hours since last week and I need to turn in my Reading Club time sheets and get new ones and get my train and stickers(because I'm totally 7 years old! Stickers!), so I'm going to be going to the NRH Library tonight anyhow, so I may stick around for WG and sit there knitting ( Read more... )

So, I finished both Othello and Antony & Cleopatra, which means I've knocked out another whole volume. Now I'm on Volume VIII, which has Timon of Athens, Julius Caesar, Macbeth and Hamlet. I may end up rereading Hamlet while I'm in the same volume, because it's been a while since I've read it. It's been a while since I've read Macbeth, too, but I ( Read more... )

So, I haven't been knitting lately and I haven't been writing. I've run out of new books to read(for a long time I was reading the Attolia books and then I read Oath of Fealty, which meant I needed to read Deed, but now I've finished all those and am done with them for a few months, at least). Basically I go home in the evenings and hang out ( Read more... )

So, RenFest opens on April 10th(and I'd really like to go opening weekend), which is a little over a month away, so I am feeling the compulsion to sew like mad on my renfest garb, but I'd like to take a moment to pause and not-freak-out and look at things logically.

I don't have to make a new dress/outfit this year. I want to, but Sir Roderick ( Read more... )

So, I failed to finish knitting on the scarf within a week. If it hadn't been for CBS I probably could have made it... oh well, CBS was great, well worth sacrificing my silly made-up deadline. However, as of last night I have only 98 rows left on it, and the first day I worked on it I managed 94 rows, so I can probably finish the knitting tonight, ( Read more... )

So, on Sunday afternoon I went to a bookshop and bought Fire because no one had gotten it for me for Christmas. However, finding it was quite a chore, so I browsed the rest of the "Young Adult/Scifi/Fantasy" section that I could find in my search and ended up with two DWJ's before I had even seen a single McKinley ( Read more... )

So, I was up until 1:10am last night, reading The Queen of Attolia. I probably would have finished the book sooner, but I love being home on Monday nights because that's when all my shows are on(HIMYM, Heroes, Castle, etc) so I didn't read much except during commercial breaks until 10:00, when I read like mad. I also failed to eat a complete dinner ( Read more... )

So, I've started reading The Queen of Attolia again. I know I've read it before but I remember very little of it, I have much clearer memories of The Thief(probably because I've read it multiple times, I think I only read Queen once). I did reread the last chapter of Thief just to remind myself of how the last book wrapped up/where we left off ( Read more... )
