6th-Feb-2010 07:45 pm - Arg.
Burny
So yeah. I've sorta fallen off the face of the world for a while- my muses went and hid, and I got a new job that's been keeping me busyish. Then I went and discovered two shiny new fandoms - Hogan's Heroes and Criminal Minds. :P

But the arg comes after that... I get ready to go back and do a little writing, only to find that my laptop has freaked out. Had to wipe the poor thing. Then I find out that while I'm certain I backed up my writing folders, the only thing from the last couple years on any of my thumbdrives is my nano stuff. >.< Lost all my in-progress work, my finished-but-not-edited work, my lists of outlines and plotbunnies...

I think I'm going to go sulk now. :(

Yesterday I fell behind on my word count by about 300 words. :( I'd been doing so good, too! I'm having a bugger of a time not going back and re-writing the last chapter, because I hate it with a passion. Such is NaNo. :P

The Traveling Shovel of Death made its appearance, and while it has no death toll so far, it did crack a guy's skull. :D I guess that counts?

Arg, all my progress bars are broken! Must resort to write or die!


Still have to get to 18,333 by the end of today. O.O
5th-Nov-2009 04:04 pm - Celebration!
Burny


YES! For the first time since the first day, I am actually caught up! Yippee!

I owe it all to Write or Die, really.

Novel is progressing apace... I've got about 2500 words of wasted junk, but it's plodding along fairly well, now.

I need to get back and do some world-description. I also need to write my opening prologue. 8k in, and I haven't managed to point out that the main character isn't quite human yet. :P

I've also got to plot out where we're going next - the evil!villains have attacked, and next is going to be some less-actiony points while they try to hunt the little buggers down.

And then the Traveling Shovel of Death is going to make an appearance. THWACK, and down goes the obnoxious smirky evil!bastard.

Also, my characters are spending entirely too much time cracking jokes. Why won't the be serious? C'mon, guys! It's a murder-mystery-thingy! Serious!

... They're not listening to me. Again.

So I've got started on NaNoWriMo, and it looks like original fiction this year. I've got a fanfic waiting as a backup, though. :3

Taking a break from writing to poke through the internet while I try to figure out what happens next. I have two sets of characters, and no idea what the first set has to do with the second at all. :P

Also, dear lord, supposed to have 5k words by the end of today. ... yeah, somehow, I think that might not happen.

And since we're getting word-meter happy, my words-to-get-caught-up-for-today meter:

1223 / 2551 words. 48% done!

It's November 1st, and I still have no idea what I'm going to do for NaNoWriMo.

...Crap.


0 / 50000 words. 0% done!
21st-Sep-2009 04:33 pm - Back from Faire!
Burny
Just straggled in from ShrewFaire. Had fun, but I really could have done without J's cousin the Scary Slut Lady. And that's a -nice- way of referring to her.

No pony pics this year. )

Not a whole lot to say... the Imperial Knights were cool, as always, but I didn't have my camera handy for pony pics.
23rd-Aug-2009 06:06 pm - I'm so dead, and it was so worth it.
Burny
So, I told Mom that she could drag me off to the Eagle Caps, and she did.

Lots and lots of pictures )
23rd-Aug-2009 05:26 am - Highland games!
Burny
Spent yesterday at the Highland Games in Baker. So cool! One dude chucked the sheaf 33 freaking feet! I have pics, will upload when I get back.

Being dragged off to the Eagle Caps, wish me luck!

I is back, and I has pics )
