masquerade!

Nothing witty today. Am trying to catch up between studying for Bio Test.

Post is up a little bit early. I have classes tomorrow and yeah, I'm hoping that you all are having fun and driving your characters through the paces.

I've hit 7500+, then restarted so now my count is 3100+. Am tired, hungry and sleepy. Post is up for the day fine ladies and gents.

Welcome to Round Nine of Porn Battle! This will run until midnight EST on November 11th. Please remember to post the prompt as the subject title of your post, and if the story exceeds the length of one post, make the second as a reply to the first part. Happy porning!

( Prompts 0-9, Symbols, A-D )

Thank y'all so much for all the great prompts!

Now I need to finish putting them in order, then I'll send them over to be posted.

See you soon!

\o/ Except none of that was actually written today. Yep, I totally slacked off and watched Paranormal Activity instead. Go, me! Oh well. I'm off tomorrow so I guess I can just play catch up with my word count then.

This post originally made at Dreamwidth.

Come on guys, even if we're falling face down on our beds tonight. Got to get those word counts in. It's only Day 4.

1. It's breathe. With an e at the end. Just remember, breath is usually bad.

2. It's election day. I should vote.

3. Trina wants my dad to be at Thanksgiving. I still don't even want to talk to him. At all. The thought makes my tummy get all sick again. And I really don't need that.

Poll #4548 The Holidays
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

Should I invite Daddy to Thanksgiving:

Obviously:

4. I've decided to have a weekly word count of 5,000 for the month of November. It's not going too poorly, yet. I have stuff I owe and stuff I want to write, so here goes.

5. I miss Charlotte, Leanne, and Ves. A lot. D:

Post is up. Hope you all are having fun trucking through NaNo.

Daily post for those who are posting, well daily. Ignore the ramblings, ired and feeling it.

(updated 10:28am: some fandoms don't need entire names)
(Updated 5:35am Nov 2: Sorry, me + muscle relaxants = x_x)

Couple of things to read before you post:

1) PLEASE spell out your fandom completely and characters correctly. There's a very good chance I won't know them.

2) PLEASE use proper capitalization and number notation (roman numerals for the most part).

Things that don't conform to the above will make me cranky, and you will likely end up with your prompts ignored.

I will stop taking prompts after I wake up Wednesday November 4th, which is usually 5:30am-ish EDT. Then they'll be sorted and posted by the other co-mod for you to write on.

Thanks!

This is Trina before trick-or-treating. As Chimchar. My mum made the costume.

It just occurred to me that some of our Wrimos are in other countries. Oops, it was Bubblehead!Jenn there for a moment. She makes appearances around birthdays too. I'm pre-marking it for midnight. Have at fellow writers.

So here is the daily word count post.

How to survive NaNoWriMo - Ten Rules
(With minimal damage to limbs, family and sanity)

1. Find a comfortable writing spot. Preferably two or three. (I like the big chair in the den, the Borders Cafe, and of course my room.)
2. Keep something to drink constantly. Water, juice, coffee, energy drinks, you pick your poison of choice.
3. When your fingers start to hurt, get up. You can't write if you can't type. This would be an excellent time to get a voice recorder and make your S.O. type for you. Get's them involved.
4. Take out meals, one-pot meals, and any kind of soup you can put in a crock pot are a must. You wanted to try that Vegan Chilli? Go for it.
5. Get up and move. Stiff joints are no good for anyone. Every hour that you're writing, get your butt up and stretch.
6. Eye drops, lots of eye drops. I prefer Rohto V and Similasan.
7. Keep music. I suggest several playlists. One for general writing mayhem, one for passionate scenes, and one for when you want to throttle every character in your novel.
8. Keep your writing area neat. Otherwise when you go to pull up those notes, they may be in Saskatchewan.
9. Shower. Bathe. Just keep clean. A miasma of funk only gets you sprayed with Febreeze and that stings the eyes.
10. Spend time with your loved ones. They'll appreciate it more after not seeing you for a few days. Pets are included in this list.

Those are my 10 rules on how to survive NaNo. Good luck and good novelling.

Do you believe that Ghost exist?

So my boss got bitched out today by our DM on my behalf. Because even though I'm suppose to be spending 35 hours a week in my department, I've only been getting 32-33 hours a week and two-three days are spent on register, which means that my back room is not in the shape it should be.

And we got a truck today and I had four buggies of stuff outside my apparel room and DM shows up and says "What's all this?! D: D: D:" Dude, we just had a massive truck, you stupid fucktard, this is my freight. You know. The shit that I've got to get out, even though you want me to get all of the fall/winter shit clearance that's packed up?

I am displeased, guys. VERY DISPLEASED. I've got 40 hours next week (because this is how it goes: payroll is cut back again. And again, and again. We get behind. DM shows up and is unhappy. Gives us better payroll for a couple of weeks. Then payroll is cut again. I think you get it). Unfortunately, on Saturday (HALLOWEEEEEN~) I have to work 8-5. I was going to dress up but, uh, guess not. My costume is too hot to wear and work for that long. :(

However, NaNoWriMo starts in a couple of days and I'm feeling ALRIGHT.
