I know I'm a day late, however....

.... I'm sorry, we're unable to come up with something witty at this time. Please check back later when we're done drooling all over the keyboard.

Which should be about next Tuesday.

:e2heartbe


I blame DL.

:D


uh, let's see... goals, goals, goals. Know I left them around here somewhere...

Well, heck with it. It was words. In one form or another. Because I have a paying gig taking up some of my time. (Stupid work stupid me not being indulgently wealthy).

I got words. Not as many as I would have liked, but my weekend went kablooey. Well, the faucet in the shower went kablooey and I had to fix it. So there were less words. But there were words.

I also remember saying something about heeding an ex-nun's advice. I did that. And it is up in QLH. *winces*

This week:

Finish the prompt story I've been working on, as well as another short that is almost near completion. Ditto for a couple of poems.

Sub said shorts and poems. Somewhere. Anywhere. But they must go out. How else shall my magnificence be recognized I sell anything?

More WIP words. A certain "so prolific she's scary" Hound has inspired me with her tale of writing "The End" that I wish to also do the same. Though not this week in all likelihood. (Nor do I ever write "The End". But that's not the point.) However, I think I can get significantly closer to that goal.

... I think that should do me.

:D

I'm working, I'm working...

Worked my regular job for 6 days straight (most of that on an 11am-8pm shift which allows me next to no time to write in the evening). Missed all my goals thus far, but have today off (and tomorrow) so I'll have something better to report later today.

Well, I managed to get quite a bit done today, advancing from 38.3k to 39.3k on my FOTS novel so about a grand all told today alone. At the very least it's forward advancement (and I do like the way the story's going finally).

That's half of my goal and I didn't get the blog entry or the thread post done. Maybe tomorrow.

<smiles?>

Hmmm, I just realized I'm less than 600 words away from the half-way point for my FOTS novel (80k words total) if it's to be a novel at all.

Damn - and there's like this whole buttload of battles coming up too (and that doesn't even begin to get into the scenes around Hell's Cauldron and a couple others like the Battle of the Rainbow Nebula, the Marine's experience with the razor mines in a park, the claustrophobia of soldiers knowing there's an enemy coming and there's nothing at all they can do about them seizing the planet they;re guarding, etc., etc.).

Then there's the human sacrifices and the undead rising, an extradimensional alien "god", and the superpowrful nomadic culture that's trying to set it free and causing all the ruckus in the first place...

You sound like a busy Greg i am giving you a little a little myth from egypt to keep you inspired.

"An officiating goddess stokes the fire beneath the enormous cauldron into which the heads and hearts of the enemies are delivered. A second cauldron contains the bound and decapitated bodies of the enemies themselves. The cauldrons are supported by the arms of the "place of annihilation".

FAIL

I didn't meet my goal. I'll take my punishment like a grown woman, DL.


New goal:
Keep plugging away at round one of revisions on Razor and Blades. This should result in at least 2000 new words--somewhere, anywhere, I'm not even picky.

Your punishment...I prefer a challenge instead....you have to hang out with the undead doggie and the ex-nun and try not to get ate. Push for your goal, I know you can do it.

Hey look pal...if MP hadn't showed up you would have been a doggie snack.

I have a gift for you.

Cripes--with all those at my disposal I should be able to fend them off.
Don't eat those ones. I hid all my razor blades in there. I mean...Lily and haggis--lunch is ready.

*sighs*

Well.... I *could* but....

a) no, it wouldn't, and more importantly
b) I'm holding on to them for a special occasion.

... sort of like that bottle of wine you keep around forever and then don't ever pop until it finally goes bad so when you do pop you end up not being able to drink it. Only I expect to dust them off when they are still good.

Summer in Buffalo is snow and ice on the driveway.

Now now, Haggis, I live in that region (more or less) and that's simply not true. July is almost always snow-free here.

That doesn't start until we're past Fall (August). Usually around September.

:D

Hmm... that actually look like fun. :D Oh wait... you mean I'll be one of those people????

I guess I'd better keep putting out.

That so doesn't sound right. Words, people, words! Friggin' gutterminds.

Oh, you meant bullet points like these:

:guns: do
:guns: re
:guns: mi

I thought you meant bullet points like these:

  • fa
  • so
  • la
  • ti

Either way, I'm not sure how helpful they'll be for me. :D

Monday morning already...

Goal was for 500 to be added to new wips.

Succeeded by adding 624 words to Spirit.

New goal... I'll say 500 - who knows, I may even hit it despite how nuts all of February is shaping up to be.


1 goal
1 accomplishment
+1 new new goal
No bullet points required :tongue
