NaNoWriMo Progress

[dawn_felagund]

Well, today is the halfway point. I'm almost at my quota for the day, and I still have the evening to write, so I hope to add another thousand or two before I drop from exhaustion.

Hahaha, well-if I'm a geek then I'm a sexy, gothic, vampire-like, elvish lovin' geek:P
I could probably write a good bit myself atm(with my imagination alone....) but I can't find any type of writing program on my Mac-we might have to stop in the Apple store to look and see if they have one when we go to the mall(another reason why I love Christiana-well, since I got my Mac)
I'd say my big sis is in a silly mood tonight, but that's just going by this entry:p
EEEK, can't wait to meet Sharon and Kirsty-more family-and I get to meet Mom and Dad too:) I think Mom will be all over Logan-and I know she'll adore Chelsea-and she'll probably be happy to see my lil' man Jesse again:)

Precisely because you're a sexy, gothic, vampire-and-elf-lovin' (and don't forget the zombies!) geek, you need to write. ;)

Seriously, your creative thoughts are so much like mine that it's scary. You look at the world like a writer, so it would make me really happy to see you give it a go!

Silly mood? Moi?? :^D I have to put myself into a slightly manic mood to tackle ambitious projects like this (i.e. being drop-dead tired and yet aiming for more than 1,000 words), so yep, silly seems to fit the moment. Which is weird because this story is anything but silly. It's quite gory and altogether effed up. You would never guess, reading it, that I am mostly a pleasant person.

I talked to my mom today and everything's okay for Thanksgiving! We're going to have a great time; I can't wait. :) Take care, *big hugs* and I'll talk to you soon!

The 0's are outliers, so of course you can exclude them. If you do that then it looks like the line does trend slightly upwards.

Or try a 5 day moving average to smooth out those wild swings. And don't forget to plot 2 standard deviations above and below the line, dropping below that lower line is a bad sign.

That should keep a statistician busy.

You can tell me to go away now.

[dawn_felagund]

I actually thought of doing some standard deviations, but I'm too lazy to look up the formula, and I no longer have it memorized. Oops. Bad geek. But once, I was obsessive enough to compute stats (including standard deviations) for the ability scores for my D&D RPG, rerolling those that were more than 1 SD from the average. So don't put it past me to do it here too! :^P

[sinneahtes]

Oookaaaay! I never thought I liked math, but I had a dream about calculus last night (though the other part of the dream was about meteorology and storm fronts and 90's screensavers :P), and I couldn't stop staring at those statistics just now... *pokes brain and wonders what's up*

I do that thing where I write (or read) in spurt, myself... (Heh, if it doesn't sound too cheesy, I think it's sort of visible in my journal at times, even though the individual entries don't all amount up to one single project... there'll be a stretch of better-written, more interesting entries, and then a stretch of quizzes and memes or blah entries... much as I'd like to be "productive" all the time or at least have a consistant pattern, it just doesn't happen.) I personally find "spurt-writing" to be kind of gratifying, if I don't dwell too much on the days when not very much happens... (And now I will giggle immaturely at the term "spurt-writing," because I am an immature person. :P)

[dawn_felagund]

Spurt-writing? Does it involve Balrog-slayers with golden hair and alabaster skin and a raven-haired seneschal concerned with curbing the mischievious behaviors of two incestuous and mischevious twins keen on hiding vials of oil in the darndest places...and said Balrog-slayer's Elfhood, of course. :^P

Ooookay. My puppy just dragged a towel from his crate to his lair and started humping it. I think Alex might be sneaking looks at the Elf pr0n on my computer.

*will behave now* See how evolly you make me behave? >;^D

(Oh, and you have the most entertaining dreams! I rarely even remember mine, though lately I've been waking up and seeing things again, probably a result of writing so much effed up stuff lately! Including this comment.)

[sinneahtes]

Bwahaha, well, if I could figure out how to write either fanfiction or smut, it probably would. Just for fun, of course. ;)

Ooookay. My puppy just dragged a towel from his crate to his lair and started humping it. I think Alex might be sneaking looks at the Elf pr0n on my computer.

Oh dear... I hesitate to ask what pairing he likes. (But couldn't stop myself from wondering what slash written by a dog would be like before my mind dashed off to be mean to me... *shakes head to get images of Elves sniffing each others' butts and peeing on trees while standing on one hind leg out of mind* O_o)

*will behave now* See how evolly you make me behave? >;^D

Yessssss.... *whistles innocently and pokes you while you're not looking* >:D

Haha, I think dreams in general are entertaining (I like giggling at what I see in elf_dreams...

And you were worried about being behind...I'm 1500 away from my piddly halfway point! Here's my graph:

0 _____________^^_______^___

Wow, that's depressing! I even had all of yesterday off, too...

I like the idea they have of using the paper stack to show progress, but the little bean shaped thing kinda freaks me out. :P

[dawn_felagund]

It's a kidney! It filters pee!

(As my friend Tammy remarked in the first comment, I am in a silly mood tonight! :^P)

And you have reason to have less than ambitious graphs than me. You're a student; the worst thing in my working life is *siiiiigh* 20 new warrants and a new officer to train. *woe*

[tarion_anarore]

*giggle* But it can't be a kidney, because NaNo is all about writing without filtering out the waste!!! :P

Yeah but...but...I have a less ambitious goal! You'd think I could manage 167 words a day...I do write double drabbles on occasion! ;P

[dawn_felagund]

Just be careful. It can be dangerous to run with scissors. ;)
