There's a terrific review of Atwood's The Year of the Flood over here, which is thorough without being spoilery. Just in case anyone was thinking "Megan! Stop making ridiculous monkey noises and tell us about the actual book ( Read more... )

I'll be attempting to draw a 50-page comic during that time, so, uh, you can look out for that.

strangecreature September 23 2009, 22:15:39 UTC

Oh, very cool! I'll definitely keep an eye out to read and cheerlead! *G*

I'll probably be giving NaNo another go this year. I don't know how many times I've tried it then not made it past a couple of thousand words!

strangecreature September 23 2009, 22:17:58 UTC

Eeexcellent! Maybe this'll be the year of winnage for you! (Why do you figure you get stuck? Just too busy or waning interest?)

Jepha/pineapple ♥♥♥♥

Some years I've been super busy in November, and I tend to write quite slowly. There's also the I-have-no-idea-what-happens-next obstacle, and I've never managed to put myself into the NaNo mindset of JUST! KEEP! GOING! EVEN IF IT'S TERRIBLE! My inner editor needs to be bound and gagged and locked in the basement for me to reach 50,000 words in a month.

Their love is epic like Patrick/hat. X-D

Aw, that sounds pretty normal... You can do eet! Outside of NaNo, I swear I'm one of the slowest, ploddiest writers out there.

There's also the I-have-no-idea-what-happens-next obstacle...

I have learned that this can be blasted out of the way by having somebody come running in with a gun. Mwuahahaha. Even when your characters are in the middle of the forest. RUN IN WITH A GUN, I SAY! Otherwise, ninjas.

Sooper Sekrit Project is ready for takeoff, I'm just short on cash to finish that last step at the moment. xD As soon as I can find some kind of steady work it is the first thing on my to-do list. Sorry it's been taking me so long!

strangecreature September 23 2009, 22:20:44 UTC

Aha, I suspected that might be the case! I'd definitely be willing to chip in though... Fire me an email and perhaps we can talk monies?

jumpthesnark September 23 2009, 22:28:27 UTC

It'll have to be later, I'm running off to class now xD But I'll get in touch soon!

strangecreature September 23 2009, 22:36:37 UTC

Sounds like a plan!

I will be doing wrisomifu (Write Something, You Miserable Fuck) once again.

strangecreature September 23 2009, 23:34:58 UTC

Bwah! I like the sound of that.

morebliss September 23 2009, 23:43:13 UTC

Sadly, in the two years I've done it, I've never actually managed to do the ten minutes of writing each day. Still, something to strive for. MAYBE THIS YEAR!

chlare September 24 2009, 02:15:29 UTC

*G* I'll share that Bwehehehee! :) I'm really looking forward to having five minutes - that aren't at work - to watch and squee over said slashy slashness. :D

You saw the photo going around with AlyAlexisDavid, yes? *hands of glee*

strangecreature September 24 2009, 02:22:36 UTC

There was a lot that I didn't even remember... I'm really going to enjoy this. (I keep having these weird middle-of-the-day gaps in between classes, that's my excuse. *GG*)

I haven't!! Linky-linky, please and thank you? :-D

chlare September 24 2009, 02:36:01 UTC

Oh, how I miss those gaps!
