Flash!
Well, I've been gone so long I couldn't have written nothing. It's kinda...dark. One of those things that just pops in.
There is a hill, once green and vibrant, stained now with blood, and other things unknowable. Behind it the sun sets, lurid and fiery, determined not to leave the day behind anonymously.
On the hill stands a man, an empty, ( Read more... ) -
Stupid rain and stupid ISP
This is an update: I am not dead. (I'm not sure if anyone cares, mind.)
But my internet connection may as well be. Since we have mobile broadband in a rural area, every time there's bad weather, the connection basically gets shot to teeny pathetic pieces. I've been fairly active on other forums and sites that don't have such high user traffic, but ( Read more... ) -
Of Prawns and Prose
Okay. I told you all about the prawns. And their creepy little eyes. Well... they haunted me.
Yea, verily did they cast their shadows upon my pale attempts at slumber, with neither fatigue nor mercy to restrain them.
In an attempt at supplication, I did rise in the night from my bed and compose a narrative of stunning form and beauty, and this hath ( Read more... ) -
Thank you Ice.
Thank you, whoever controls the weather: I just had three days off school because the bus couldn't drive me there. (Put in context, I just had a five-day weekend, followed by a two-day week. (Well... a one-day week: Thursday was taken up by practice for the school musical.)) I got some decent work done on my portfolio, and I finished a story too ( ( Read more... ) -
Claimed-- excerpt
(Because I think it's about time I stopped acting like an idiot and actually posted something up: from Claimed. It's only a 2500 word long story, but hey, there you go. I'll have something else done this week: deadlines and whatnot. I'll pick the best part of my NaNo project to show you too, since most of it is utter dreck. Angsty dreck.)
Maybe I ( Read more... ) -

First item of business: I won NaNoWriMo! Yay! First time I've actually managed it, actually. And I am so pleased with myself. It' not like it's any good or anything, but I actually wrote 50,000 words and whether it's good or crap, that's an achievement, yeah?
I also aced my Christmas test in Maths. I'm not even going to say what the percentage ( Read more... ) -
My Christmas Tests
Tuesday:
-Technical Drawing (Damn you skew lines!)
-French (Oh, written pieces? Crap...)
-Irish ( £%$@&!! )
Wednesday:
-Art (I don't remember that painting's name, but that is clearly irrelevant to discussing its artistic properties...)
-Maths (Oh thank you sweet Lord! Something I'm good at!)
Thursday:
-Engineering (This looks suspiciously ( Read more... ) -
Finally, a Word-Processor!
Thank the Lord: I have a real word-processor at last. (even if I'm typing this up on Textedit, still. I don't want Textedit to get lonely after I put it through so much work, but I need a word counter for NaNoWriMo, and a real word-processor is just plain better anyway.) So what do I have? Well obviously.
Openoffice. Because it's free. I had to use ( Read more... ) -

...I'm running out of steam, I think, with this NaNo thing. Hopefully a couple days of semi-rest (only 500-1000 words a day) will help me get going again. I need to study for Christmas exams anyway, actually, and I'm on quota until the twentieth at this point, with my word-count. (That rules: I've never been ahead before.)
...That last pep-talk ( Read more... ) -
NaNoWriMo: midway point reached!
Oooh... I think I'm overdoing it at this point. I swear, on Friday I'm going to sleep at six pm and not waking up until noon on Saturday.
NaNo is going well. Very well indeed. I have a grand total, so far, of 25,753 words. To be on track for today, I need to have 21,071. So I'm pretty safely ahead of target for now. And I made quota yesterday ( Read more... )
