Don't get me wrong... it's absolutely gorgeous up here. However, Ketchikan is just a wee bit smaller than I'm used to (I miss Seattle, just not the traffic) and there's rather a shortage of psychiatric staff around. Work's okay enough, I suppose, but... there's a learning curve, to say the least. Not to mention getting used to new people (which I ( Read more... )

Wow... I haven't posted here since the beginning of NaNo 2006 (which WoW ate the word count for, just like 2005) and not only is NaNo 2007 over, but it's freaking 2008 already ( Read more... )

Awright... since my last NaNo utterly tanked, I figured I'd better write the story that got those characters to where they are now. (Even though it's, like, 200 years earlier. 203 years to be exact.) I'm slowly giving all my characters complete makeovers and trying to come up with a plot that incorporates more than just a Quest to Save the World(TM ( Read more... )

Well, so I finished A Storm of Swords, read some reviews of A Feast for Crows and debated endlessly with myself whether to buy it or not... of course, my impatience to find out what happened next overrode the tepid reviews and I broke down and bought it in hardcover. Buuuut... now I've finished it and now I'm stuck with all the other rabid GRRM ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been months and months since I've posted. Since November (during which I majorly crashed and burned due to an excess of World of Warcrack) I've joined the Coast Guard (FINALLY!), gone to boot camp (which was fun in it's own special way), gotten sent 3,000 miles away from home to a buoy tender, and decided that, in spite of being in the ( Read more... )

Prologue partway done; 1,044 words. Slow start, but hey, I had a kickoff party to go to. :-P Well, that just means I have 2,956 words to write tomorrow to meet my goal. ^_^
Anyway, will post stuff once I have the full prologue done. It will be lame, and it will suck, but I don't care! :-D

NaNoWriMo 2005 is officially under way. Le yawnage, I need to go to bed, and I'll be thrilled to get in 2000 words today. Did the Mary Sue litmus test for this year's crowd; test has apparently been recalibrated but they are, for the large part, non-Sues and Stus ( Read more... )

Quick Note for everyone: As per NaNo 2004, all of my chapter entries will be Friends Only. So if you want to read my chapters, friend me and I shall friend you back ASAP. Because I'd much rather have comments from other NaNoers than stupid bozos who like to come in and flame random people, ya know ( Read more... )

Well. I haven't updated in a while, but I figure with November coming up fast I better. NaNo 2005's all set and decided (silly me, writing the sequel before the prequel!) and it's promising to be a fun ride already. Additionally, can't wait for my NaNo shirt to arrive. ^_ ( Read more... )

Well, some bad news, and some good news. Bad news-- medically disqualified from the Coast Guard until I can lose wight and get my blood pressure down so I'm basically delayed till about January-ish, but the upside to that? I get to participate in NaNo 2005! w00t!!!!
