OMG I WON NANO AND I'M NOT EVEN DONE WITH MY STORY and once I take out my cheats I'll be under 50k again, but THAT IS NOT THE POINT I WON OMG ( Read more... )

Have broken 40k. Think I can probably make 45k today. I would like that. Then I can hit 50k tomorrow, hopefully, and spend the last day of November finishing the STORY, or at least sketching out what'll happen. The placeholders I've left now, I think I'm going to leave for rewrites. I'm going to go through, cut a lot of the "padding", fix ( Read more... )

I've managed to kickstart my stalled Nano! :D I had to skip the rest of the scene I was on, and now there's a whole new set of characters and some accidental time-travelling going on, but I'm not exactly disappointed with the results so far.

...yeah, this icon is the epitome of my life at this moment. *shifty*

ETA: Yeah, sorry LJ folken, but I don't have a paid account over on starletfallen. You don't get to see them. Come to

• The NaNo is coming... oddly. I'm not doing so bad as I'd hoped, but I'm starting to think I'll need to either tack on an extraneous plot at the end or start the next one just to make my quota. My story's almost done, but I'm only halfway to winning NaNo at MOST.

I'm sure not many people will notice, HOWEVER. I'm not going to be online tonight, because Aub and I are going to try to build up a nice Nano word cushion. So when the inevitable busy day or "day we can't get the writing going" or "day we spend all our time doing 'research' in our awesome new crime books" comes, we won't necessarily fall behind ( Read more... )

KnittingYoga Socks: Frogged, because I have yet to be able to cast on loose enough. Perhaps I should cast on with larger needles. Regardless, the remainder of that yarn will be used to test yoga sock lace patterns for the potential Etsy shop. Eventually ( Read more... )

ETA: Okay, so my alphabet is full up. Make sure you fill up magi and Jae's lists, and then come and make secondary requests! That's right, you can make requests for letters already claimed! GO WILD!OMG WTF I'M POSTING ON LJ? Yes. The full index of drabbles will be posted on my proper blog once I finish, but it's a little easier to edit entries ( Read more... )

So, y'know, I pimped Chris' first-draft, middle-of-a-trilogy novel, because it's awesome. But now I'm going to pimp the writing of a writer/filker/artist who I have never had the honour to meet, and am not actually FRIENDS with, though we are friendly.
