*staggers into Cantina*

So my mysterious kinda-like-morning-sickness nausea is back. Seriously, digestive system. What the hell.

How are we all? I am honestly so sick and headachy today for no apparent reason.

No sick

How about this? When the copy I ordered of Absolute Visions comes in today, I'll read yours first.

Does that help?

I will be editing today. Some more. No more leaving stuff almost done/not quite so I can avoid rejection.

I have the power!

You have the power.

You're only six posts away from one of those super duper round numbers. Do you have the strength to say something pithy and witty and profound?

Conversation overheard in a book shop this morning. Man is browsing floor to ceiling rack of special offer paperbacks, woman is checking out display behind him.

Her: "You're read all of Jackie Collins haven't yer?"
Him: "Yeah."

I was so stunned by the entire exchange I had to leave the shop.

Well, I understand how you feel. I am torn however....

Torn between, "At least they are in a bookshop, buying books, to read" and "Jackie Collins?" ------>"run away! run away"

aliwood said:
No worries. I guess you also have to mark them once they've all been sat. I used to hate that job.

/QUOTE]

Yeah, and my high school classes are focused more on essays than conversation, so I get to grade several hundred 60 word non-native English essays in the next few days.

Sometime, let me tell you about some of the truly English mistakes I come across.

Ali, I WILL be word warring today, I promise. I just won't be on the cantina at the time. I have a full day today; my sister is having oral surgery and guess who is the post-anesthesia designated driver? Sigh. I get to sit in town all day, with no Interwebs.

But, I reiterate: I will be watching my word count and posting. Have to sit there, might as well take my computer and write, right?

Click to expand...

Now, I'm starting to feel really, really guilty. This is good, cause maybe I'll actually try to start, you know, writing. I think I'll be posting something in the sandbox later. Unless I come up with an answer by tomorrow.

I have been organizing things in my head, have 8 pages of loose outline that will probably expand to 30k words and a definite goal in mind, so I am making progress.

But, you guys are actually putting words on paper(or screen). I feel bad. I don't wanna be left behind. I need to write! I'm starting to get jittery, literally.

I was too, especially as I live in an area constantly highlighted for it's lack of literacy skills. I was thinking 'should I applaud or just laugh'. (I'm leaving that apostrophe in there just so the punctuation police can all snigger at my appalling literacy)

But, you guys are actually putting words on paper(or screen). I feel bad. I don't wanna be left behind. I need to write! I'm starting to get jittery, literally.

My idea was to inspire. If you are feeling inspired to join in, then that's good. Join us when you can, inbetween times go for the subversive approach, why not see how many fairy tale ideas you can slip into the rest of your conversation today and see if people spot them.

You can see why I work for myself right? No one else will have me.

Better get some fresh tea going for this afternoon's wordsmithing.

Yay! This will help

Unfortunately, epic nausea has transformed into EPIC HEADACHE. Actually I had a headache most of the morning, but it is now worse and making reading anything highly difficult.

Unfortunately, my job mostly involves reading and writing...

Good Morning Friends!

I have lots of cleaning to do today because my dad is in town. The only time "real" cleaning gets done in this apartment is when I have company coming over. And I have to really make sure this place is clean because my dad will tell on me to my mom.

So right now, I'm babysitting the washer that likes to stall during the gentle cycle so I can get these couch covers clean.

Heh. I see what you did there.

Thanks Kricket. At least I don't feel sick any more. On the other hand, this headache is making work less-than-fun.

I am a confident heterosexual (bonus points if anybody recognizes that movie reference), but every time I see Summer Glau, I can't stop staring at her. She is just so stunning.

You can do this, and good luck to the patient. I hope she recovers in a speedy fashion. We'll keep your stool warm and your beer cool (except in the UK where it's the other way around)

Good writing.

One day, I will invent the cure for the headache. And it will work instantaneously. ...Don't hold your breath though, this could take some time.

He's not awake yet, so far so good.

I hear him stirring though, and he's like me and a morning person. It's the afternoons, after his nap, that he gets grumpy.

Cool.

I've just discovered that my email program offers to 'Check spell' rather than 'Spellcheck'. I thought computers and spells didn't mix.

517 words so far, that's my email done.

Good morning!!!! Good morning!!!! Good MORNING!!!!

Lots of stuff to do to train my counterparts who shall be remaining.

I wonder if it gives unintended consequences of your spell casting prior to the actual casting.

That could be useful....

My cat just walked across the WP keyboard. Does this add to my word count?

Aww. Can't you at try to get 'Once upon a time' and 'They all lived happily ever after' into your reports or something?
Make a mockery of important paperwork? Who? me?

No worries. I guess you also have to mark them once they've all been sat. I used to hate that job.

Who said that?

Book retrieved from library. I was slightly surprised to get there before opening time and find myself in a queue of three.

Fresh tea anyone?

I have some paperwork that could definitely use some basic fairy tale elements. Hai5.

"The Check Spell function, there to make sure you're summoning the right demons. Wouldn't want to summon Beelzebub when all you need is Cthulhu."

Sure why not

My headache is getting a little better. I finally managed to move my computer screen down to eye level, which I think is helping. Sometimes being short is a real pain in the neck.

Yeah I went there.

Speaking for myself, I think that out to be the other way around. Eldritch Abominations frighten me far more than mere demons. Or even fallen angels.
