Argh, sorry

It's been a while since I updated, but I am not, in fact, dead.

So!

• I turned in my marvel_bang with 25,000 words and then finished the actual first draft with 29,500. It's . . . I mean, it's done? But I might have some macrostructure issues. We'll see.
• feels-like-fire and I finished Whoever Fights Monsters, technically the sequel to her Slow Dancing in a Burning Room but

You deserve all the medals for surviving parents...I know that feeling and I always feel like indulging in a large drink and a spa day after I get through a visit with my mother where no one has ended up dead...

And way to go on all the writing...I finished up the last (major) part of The Weight of a Man, and while that was going to be the end of it, I find I can't give up my boys yet, so I'm going to finish out the remaining 13 of the 30-ficlets series.

Oh, God, there was beer. There was a lot of beer. And we went camping up by the north shore, no cell phones, no running water, no other people (well, a few fellow campers) for three days, and it was great.

*embarrassed* I saw that you posted the last part but when you posted it I was not exactly in a place where I wanted to read it quite yet? I'll get there, I promise! I just.

Well, you probably get it.

Oh the beer and camping sounds like a great way to celebrate...

As for tWoaM...believe me, given the content I entirely understand people being leery of this installment, it doesn't make for cheerful reading....

Holy cow, 100K? Congratulations, and I'm glad you survived the visit.

I wish my dogs would eat cookies. They eat drywall.

I'm intrigued by your TROPEFEST 2013.

[circ_bamboo]

.... drywall? Oh boy.

I don't know how we wrote 100K of stuff, other than, like, having a plot. And also feels-like-fire is pretty wordy (even if I am not), although we both felt like we wrote relatively equal amounts of words. But still. It's a novel, damnit.

I finally remembered the tagline to TROPEFEST 2013: Embrace the Schlock! :D

They have questionable taste.

I'm really so impressed by your word count. The longest thing I've ever managed is 62k. Good luck with the sequel!

I think you need to set up a video camera so we can all see how your cat is removing the rubber bands from the cabinet doors and eating your cookies. Think of the youtube hits!

Congratulations on surviving the parental visit! Parents are extremely weird. It's fortunate you had plenty of alcohol to help you cope.

My dad and stepmom are throwing me an engagement party. On the one hand, that's incredibly sweet. On the other hand, my stepmom is a not-so-closet racist who thinks Muslims are killing people by poisoning salad bars. My mom has an alcohol problem and hates my stepmom. My fiance's aunt is a super opinionated liberal who probably doesn't know that non-interference is the prime directive, and it's better not to talk to my mom about alcohol, or to my stepmom about Mexicans or Muslims. All of these people are going to be in a room together, which could be glorious or horrible. Either way, I plan to drink a lot.

Nice to see you around again!

Your mother, I swear to god. ::shakes head::

Haha, I understand your cat. Mine used to do something similar, only it was his cat food kept in one of the under-cabinets. I finally had to relocate it to the top of the refrigerator; he's too heavy to jump that far.

I am looking forward to your Marvel bang, I think that's a community I haven't put on my watch list yet. ::runs off to do that:: I'm already watching avenger fest. Wheeee!

Now, if only you and feels_like_fire would start writing BBC Sherlock for me; you'd never get rid of me.
