I'm pretty sure the best words a writer can hear are, "Here's your proofs, payment's on its way ( Read more... )

WC is at 33 and change tonight, which I'm quite pleased about. Bendict is dead please review. I tend to be a little vague with death and sex, going for the feeling over the details, so I'm not sure how I feel about it, yet. But it was a major milestone for the plot, so I'm happy that it's written, I guess.

Alas, poor Bendict! I knew him hardly at ( Read more... )

22,026. Hoping for more later on this afternoon, but we'll have to see how things go. Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out what all happened this morning. Uh, Erik was let out of his cage, and actually had a conversation with Yan Lang that didn't end in her making fun of him. That's... important, I guess? Although the making-fun part is more ( Read more... )

This morning, I hit over 18,200. I hit 18,201. The distinction is important, although the word isn't, all that much. I think it's "show."

In today's edition, Pavane acts all Eriky, and Erik acts all Christiney. It's suddenly feeling like writing fanfiction again, and I kind of dig it.

Anyway, this morning I head up to Yreka to look at job and housing ( Read more... )

16,161 this morning, although the NaNo website is suddenly not working for me. Did it crash? Did I break it? Did I kill it with my brain?

My short story A Motley has been published over at Danse Macabre. This magazine is clearly awesome, given that large portions of it are inexplicably in French and German. I'm just happy to see my name in print. It ( Read more... )

Ugh, writing 1000 was like pulling teeth today. This is why I should always get my word count first thing in the morning; the longer I put it off, the harder it is.

Besides which, what happened today? Not a lot. Everyone ate bread. Erik discovered his talent for faceplanting. And everyone hates him. Seriously, if he was a sitcom, he would be ( Read more... )

"So it turns out I'm not a con man after all," says Comedie!Erik, perching on the edge of my desk. I shoot him a quick glance, distracted momentarily from my Tumblr dash, whereon Ramin Karimloo is being much maligned.

"No?"

"No," he says, mostly cheerfully, and drums his four-fingered hand on the desk. "You like con men a little too much. You can't ( Read more... )

Broke 5000 this morning. YAY! It made sitting in the cold dark for two hours actually worth it, although it was tough to haul my carcass out of bed when I knew it would be pitch black out till almost eight. (And it was only about 50 degrees in the house, brrr.) I am ready for the time change, yes.

Anyway, this morning we learned the thief's name, ( Read more... )

This may turn out to be a dumb idea. I've thought about doing it before, and this year I'm just going to go for it.

The Tragedienne will be posted in a separate comm as I write it. Entries will be locked to members only. Entries will also probably have an unusual amount of suck, given that this is NaNo.

THIS! IS! NANO!

*cough* Yeah, anyway. If you're ( Read more... )
