2:52 pm - Photoblog: Lost and Found
|
Sweeet.
This one is for the Lost fans on the friendslist.
I got my Lost season 5 limited edition Dharma Initiative Orientation Kit DVD set a day before they're set to be released tomorrow, so know what I did?
I snapped the hell out of it with the camera, to give y'all a sneak peak. Because I'm sneaky like that.
Check out the two dozen photos!
This is a REALLY well made, very meta set, and it's probably my favourite thing in the world right now.
I've got some complaints though, and I'll be filling in a lot of comments on the photos later, I am running really late, and need to run away. So check back later, too!

So, we all know I have the Farscape complete series set by now.
I've also got a number of the old ADV releases I got as hand me downs, and if they could find a good home out there, I'd rather pass 'em out than toss them to the cold heartless video store.
If anyone wants any of these, let me know, and we'll work something out.

Wow, I totally spaced about yesterday's update. I did it, I wrote, I just forgot to post about it.
Not that anyone cares, and there was probably relief that I didn't. ;)
For those awaiting the next chapter, it's coming. I got distracted by dream sequences going horribly awry because my characters are snarky bastards. When the mysterious figure trying to deliver messages of great import is ready to throw in the towel and says "This isn't how it was supposed to go..."

10:15 pm - LTA TV: Dollhouse
|
I'm too lazy and brain melted to type out the subject entirely. ;p
I really think these were two of the strongest Dollhouse episodes tonight, and it's a shame that they weren't doing this earlier last season. Hopefully some people will have given the show another chance tonight, and had a good time.
And Enver Gjokaj continues to be multiple kinds of awesome.

A looot of talking today, but a lot of good emotion too. As much as I want to hit 100k, I can feel the climax sitting and waiting for me, just around the corner.
Still, I'm quite the BSer, so I might hit it yet. ;)

I'm sure some would argue with me, but this chapter feels like my weakest yet. There's a lot I like, but this one needs some editing and rewriting. Maybe even splitting it up with other things. There's a lot to like, but it feels unfocused. I need to smooth out the rough spots of the bad guy's plan, clearly.
Blah blah blah, here you go.

Hmm.
So, it's December 3rd. And it's raining out. Not just raining, but kinda pouring.
I dunno, I may be kinda sorta coming around to starting to think there might be a little something to this climate change talk.
I still think there's a lot of 'much ado' but maybe it's something less than 'nothing'.
Still, weather has cycles, and we've had warm winters before.

9:22 pm - Dr. Mom
|
My mother has the uncanny ability to come up with the most random things, and usually after her thoughts are no longer an issue.
Earlier this evening, she decided to get on my case that I need to take care of the dry skin on my feet.
To hear her talk about it, she makes it sound like dry skin on the feet is the worst thing that could possibly happen to a person. She actually said that if I don't do anything about it, "You're going to have serious problems".
Which, ok, there might be something I'm not aware of, but...
The only thing wrong with my feet is the callouses on my heels that have developed, most likely, because of the treadmilling. My feet USED to be awfully dry and cracked and stuff, but that was like five years ago. Before I started treadmilling, and before I started actually, oh, taking care of them.
Now, the only dry and crackedness is just some small spots on my big toes.
So um, thanks mom, for the dire warning of doom that dry skin could cause, but I think I've got it under control...
And this is all probably way more info than people wanted to know. ;D

We are well and truly beyond anyone caring what my progress is, I'm sure. ;) But it helps me chart it visually, so I continue to be annoying.
Fun times are afoot. I know almost exactly where I'm going, and almost exactly what's in between, but still not quite sure of the details.

I felt like changing up the colour, at least for a bit of the post-November writing. Still trying to stick to it for the time being, espeically since I've put off DVD watching until Blood Freak gets here. It's close, and I don't want to get into the tv series next on the stack. Gives me plenty of writing time, and time to catch up on other stuff.

4:57 am - Black River: Day 30
|
And so November ends, and I come to a close for the month at 70k words, and this feels about where I thought I'd be, and marks the end of the second act, for those who know structure.
I'd say there's at least 10k left to go, but in my heart of hearts, I'd love to see this break 100k.
And as a bonus, have another finished chapter. Which is the second or third chapter to be renamed after I realised the events the title refers to aren't going to be IN this chunk of words.

Cough. I just noticed this entire chapter is equal to one fifth of the goal for NaNoWriMo. That feels excessive. Yet was fun. ;)
Aaand the chapter is too long. Hrm. Ok, here's Chapter Ten, part one.

Did you think I wasn't going to do today's writing too? All things had to be put back to normal schedules. I could, and seriously want to, take a break. I know me though, and if I set the book aside, it runs the risk of falling by the wayside, like so many other discarded stories.
There's at least two people who would set me on fire for that. And not in a good, Phoenixy way.
There may even be self-immolation for that one.
So I keep at it, since I have the momentum behind me. I could've just let yesterday slide and be fine, but I got intrigued by the idea of writing 70k in the month.
Although I'm getting a bit too sidetracked by the Halloween party shennanigans, and need to get back to blood. Even if this section is just damned fun to write.
