So many updates to make...I'm going with point form. Don't hate me. - Congrats to everyone who finished NaNoWriMo this year and congrats to anyone who tried and didn't quite make it to 50k. If you didn't give up, you're still a winner in my eyes. Seriously. In fact, I think it takes a lot more character to keep going when you know you aren't going to win than it does to win. You rock. Seriously. ...

I crossed the finish line today! OOOO: 51,226 words according to my big, hefty, and somewhat frightening Microsoft Word document, some 88 horrible horrible pages long. 6505 for today. I honestly didn't think I'd make it! Phew! She went to the bathroom quickly, leaving the door partially open because the lights weren’t on in the bathroom, either. “Isn’t there a generator or something in this place...

503 9 lab.drwicked.com So one of the girls from NaNoljers introduced me to this, Write or Die and it's doing wonders for my word count for NaNo. My main problem this year has been focus. I'm not focusing on one novel (I've got three on the go -- who thought that was a good idea?) and I have been quite unable to sit down and just focus on writing too. In...

Words (Written Today): 312 Words (Total as of Today): 312 First Line (Written Today): Alexander circled Victoria and she matched him, step for step, calculating. Last Line (Written Today): It undulated in her hand, slick and cool to the touch, elongating into a whip-like tendril as she side-stepped Alexander's attack. There's a challenge going on over at nanoljers to do 5,000...

Hey all - just wanted to make sure we had everyone's NaNo names on the roster prior to the start of November! We've got most of them in, and only have a few left :-) Lithiumxroses Ritamalone Offtrack2 Ensnarement: Mediaangel Rejoining-stars Teenagewitch So if you are (or know of) any of the people above, please respond to this post and I'll jot your name in. Peace, and good luck with your starts...

I am psyched , I tells ya'. And also, yay for voting day almost being here. Double yay because I have most of next week off (unpaid, of course), due to business being slow at the hotel. I would have liked a little more warning about my impending lack of pay, but may as well look on the bright side. Won't have to deal with the after work traffic and horrendous lines. In any case, I have joined...

So, I was stalking nanoljers today, and found some really amazing character questions. It was kind of like filling out a survey, only I was answering for someone else - using someone else's thoughts. I found it exceedingly beneficial because it really made me delve into my character's personalities and thoughts. Deeper than I would have thought to go before. I absolutely loved filling these out...

Whee! Check it out! New layout courtesy of ilikethequiet . Why a piggy bank, you ask? Why, for my 2008 NaNoWriMo novel The Genie Of The Piggy Bank of course! And even though it's still October, I'm gearing up. This is going to be my year, guys. Honest! *has failed NaNoWriMo an embarrassing number of years already* I've got a pretty clear idea of where I want to go with this novel and...

to find me this year go to distant_drift scrambles will also be posted here, possibly daily charloft and nanoljers are my LJ communities for '08

1. Finished every single Logic problem. 2. The 1323 midterm was easy as pie. I had a hard time remembering how to sort an array properly, so I ended up using a really inelegant syntax that basically amounted to "as long as it's not sorted, sort it". But I asked the TA and he said that they'd barely be counting off for even syntax errors (which would actually cause the code to not work , not just...
