At least, it is for me. Edisen was done on the same day, AGAIN. Gah. Someone take that woman's laptop away from her when the word lists come out, so the rest of us have a fighting chance! Okay, so *I* have a fighting chance. ;P ( Read more... )

 So, here I am at work.  I brought my coding stuff with me.  I have MML stuff I can be doing.  But nooooo... it's a busy night.  The first busy night ever, in fact.  So, since I'm waiting a few more minutes to do my audit, I figured I'd address this little thingie that's in Edisen's journal.  She wanted me to do this.  For the record, the angsty ( Read more... )

It was a real treat reading Round 13 (still waiting on you, Des...).  We had no less than 4 people in sync doing stories that were essentially quick snapshots of people's lives.  Albeit a little surreal (Korvur) or dark (Edisen).  I'm hoping to prod Desecrates a little bit so we can get the word lists reset by Sunday night / Monday morning ( Read more... )

Actually, I think we're still waiting on Desecrates. I was so sure I'd be coming in last, this round.  I'm at work, so I don't have the others' stories in front of me to read (more's the pity--I was done with my audit at 1:35 and have nothing to do until about 4:00 to 4:30).  Figure I'll post some thoughts if anything jumps out at me.  For my own ( Read more... )

Wowsers. Some blood-soaked stories on this one. I felt like the granola-crunching love child, after this session. I've already reached the realization that since I can't have a bottle of scotch close by, I need to psyche myself up to read Edisen's pieces, beforehand. She's having a developmental period of exploring the dark side of human psyche ( Read more... )

RAWR!

Her list for me: distribute, embody, insinuate, rupture and call
My list for her: accentuate, float, iron, derriere, possess

Of course, she's nearly done by the time I had the chance to post this. ::rolls eyes::

Interestingly, the stories are in sync, though not in a way you'd think.  Both are about a key figure who's an intrepid adventurer about to embark on their next sojourn.  Hers just happens to be a singer.  Mine, a sword-swinger.  Such is the stuff of life.

I'm pretty sure I used the title for mine ("Loved by the Sun") somewhere before.  It's one of ( Read more... )

 Hm.  An interesting round.  I like how Edisen writes short pieces that simultaneously leaves the reader befuddled and yet tells enough of a story that you can follow along.  I suspect if she can rally and make a longer piece, it'd be mind-blowing.  Desecrates treats us to a delightful character sketch worthy of a TV episode, and Korvur comes to ( Read more... )

We get into these wild and crazy writing spurts. We don't really have time for it, exactly. But we DO love to write. Here's the word lists to our side run ( Read more... )
