"when you lose something you can't replace"

[cinderlily]

With much bitching and moaning I wrote about 1700 words today. I'm at about 178,009k which means I have 21,991 words to go before December 31st to meet my "Get Your Words Out" goal. 1221 words per day. It's possible but um... who knows? I've already beaten last year by almost 15k which is an accomplishment in and of itself. But I'm rambling. Man am

OMG I LOVE YOUR ICON! XD

Also, that is an AWESOME word count for the year! You should be proud either way ;)

My dad just got home from the hospital today (hip replacement). Hope your mom does well this week and stays healthy in the new year :)

ps my icon is not really appropriate at all to the convo, except that it's one of the only two Merlin ones I have, lol

[cinderlily]

I adore this icon, I can't get enough of it. I swear, I didn't even watch Merlin this season but it's so perfect. Plus anything plus Mean Girls=AWESOME. For me at least. ;) I also love your icon, oh Cols, you are too young to be that damn pretty. ♥

Thank you! I keep telling myself that it's a huge accomplishment, I mean two years ago I wrote less than 20k but then I guess I'm neurotic and nothing will be good enough. ;) I'm already going to sign up for gywo2011, cause I'm a total masochist like that, haha.

Hip replacement, ouch! My mom had her knees replaced and I can only commiserate. Sending good vibes towards your dad for a speedy recovery. And thanks for the love. I think the hardest part is over. The cataract surgery is really the easiest cause they dope her up and she sleeps through the next day or so, you know?

(((hugs)) good thoughts to your mom.

No matter what you should be super proud of your writing quality this year, everything you posted that I read was beautiful and awesome.

You are totally biased and I love you to bits for it. :) But thank you. I know numbres are silly to look at and every time my mom hears me talk numbers she gets upset and says, "Quantity is not quality, Elisheva!" It's just... um. I WANT to write 200k. I want it so bad I can TASTE it.

And she went through the surgery FANTASTICALLY so um. Your thoughts rule! :) Thank you. ♥

[writingpathways]

Elisheva I love it!

Glad her surgery went so well, Liz! And pfft I don't care if I am biased, I am right.

Man, your mom is a trooper. Now I know where you get it from. :)

As for the word count, I'm telling you, I will never, ever, EVER be able to write 20,000 words in one year. No way, no how.

You are amazing, and for once, my icon makes sense ;)

Today, when picking her up (she was doped to HELL!), the lady told me that my mom was a good camper and my mom said, "Pscha! This is my daughter who can take pain, you don't have to tell her." I laughed so hard I snorted.

And I think you can do it. :) It's.. horrible terrible and I would never ever recommend it but I think you can do it. ♥

[cinderlily]

She is doing great, pain meds FTW! But all the good thoughts are helping. :D

And thanks. I adore this icon. Even if I don't watch the show anymore. ♥
