When I was growing up I always wanted a mail box because we got our mail at the post office and now that I have one I hate going to the road to get the mail XD I'm so freakin strange.

lisalulu09 · 06-29-2011, 02:12 AM

Okay, I'll be in bed by then, so can you PM me it or something please?

I want my first dance to be 'God Only Knows' by The Beach Boys or 'Just Like Heaven' by The Cure - two of my favourite love songs of ALL TIME.

KarlaErikaCal · 06-29-2011, 02:12 AM

WOOT WOOT. I has written 868 words so far today. That's like 12x more than I wrote yesterday lol. I need to do a 15 minute WoD sprint now

lisalulu09 · 06-29-2011, 02:13 AM

Yay! Karla!

I think Glee would be good for NaNo if I ever do it again. It helped SO much earlier!

The Kidd · 06-29-2011, 02:14 AM

Another bill that I really can't pay right now. Le' sigh.

lisalulu09 · 06-29-2011, 02:15 AM

Watching Will dancing to The Thong Song is making me go, WTF??? I think I may be scarred for life.

ETA: Rachael/Puck? What the hell???

Thalia · 06-29-2011, 02:45 AM

Rachel/Puck (not Rachael, remember~! Rachel), otherwise known as Puckleberry, is my OTP. I mean, I love Finchel like a fish loves water, but Puckleberry is just... I can't even. They're a couple of hot Jews, it's natural!

Arianna Sterling · 06-29-2011, 02:59 AM

Hiya guys

Realized earlier I forgot a piece of lore that applies to Weeping, so now I get to go through every single word of it thus far and make sure I didn't actually disregard it in-text. Fuuuuuuun times.

lisalulu09 · 06-29-2011, 03:00 AM

I am going to bed. PM me that banner.

Onto Disc Three tomorrow.

Thalia · 06-29-2011, 03:05 AM

Oh, Ari, that's the whole point of first drafts. Just keep writing, and during revisions, keep a notebook to record any inconsistencies and then change them.

The Kidd · 06-29-2011, 03:08 AM

Ok. I'm done spiffing up the house and stressing over the bills. I can get back to editing.

Arianna Sterling · 06-29-2011, 03:08 AM

It's just a tiny thing, so I don't mind checking. Have to make sure he didn't do one specific thing. Then I will write more--finally managed the first kiss last night, so I get to move on to the exciting things that come next. I've been sooooo impatient to get to this part.

How are things on your end?

The Kidd · 06-29-2011, 03:17 AM

Going back to first dances ours was : As the World Falls Down by David Bowie

Arianna Sterling · 06-29-2011, 03:20 AM

David Bowie <3

The Kidd · 06-29-2011, 03:26 AM

I remember practicing the dance for hours. That day was the craziest of my life.

Arianna Sterling · 06-29-2011, 03:30 AM

I can imagine

KarlaErikaCal · 06-29-2011, 03:38 AM

So close to 2K! like 146 words away

I am on a rollllll!

Arianna Sterling · 06-29-2011, 03:42 AM

Woo! GO, KARLA, GO!

Ivi942 · 06-29-2011, 03:43 AM

What is a first dance exactly?

The Kidd · 06-29-2011, 03:55 AM

Your first dance with your husband/wife is what I was referring* to

Blah. I really need a crit partner/beta reader but I'm so ashamed at my punctuation mistakes.

Thalia · 06-29-2011, 03:58 AM

This article at WSJ online has me angrier than I've been in months. If I hadn't had YA novels, my ED might have landed me in the hospital-- or worse. Because of YA, I had something to reassure me that it was okay to feel the way I felt, and that it gets better.

Arianna Sterling · 06-29-2011, 04:01 AM

Oh, that thing about how dark and evil it is, you mean? That article already made me rage.

The Kidd · 06-29-2011, 04:01 AM

Calm down hun. Can you give us a link to the article? I want to take a look. Or are you talking about the one that has been going around. There was a pretty long thread about it here in the YA section I think?

Thalia · 06-29-2011, 04:07 AM

Yeah, she wrote a follow-up to defend her point. http://online.wsj.com/article_email/...DEyNDgyWj.html
