GRR!

I would like to say that for the record, BEC, you suck and have the most horrible timing.  An island-wide power outage for four hours was bad enough, then you give everyone else power and leave our street and a few other down from us off for another hour? And during the hours I was trying to work on the last of my 2yn assignments?

That’s just cruel.

Ok, so that last part doesn’t exactly have anything to do with the electric company but I’m bitter so screw ‘em.

I guess it’s back to trying to pop out five assignments by the time I got to bed tonight. I’ll be as shocked as you are if I make it but well, here’s to making an attempt. Worst case scenario is I just won’t have them done before outlining actually begins and just get them done before the second assignment in that category.

Alright, alright. Enough bitchery from me for now.

My fellow 2yners, I hope you guys are holding strong or atleast having better luck than I am. I know a few of you have fallen into some unfortunate circumstances and have either decided to take some time off or just found yourselves stuck. I know I’ve fallen behind on commenting lately what with myself being behind but I do still read them and I’m always left amazed. Not that I’m anything important but it helps a lot for me to know that others read what I’ve posted so I guess I figure it could help others knowing that.

I’m rooting for you guys and there are a lot of others doing so as well. Keep up the great work.

Playing Catch Up

This week is all about re-working and catching up in my 2YN assignments. It’s the last week of worldbuilding, as I understand it, and I want to be all caught up by the time we start on outlinning. 

So wish me luck.

I already updated Assignments 1-5, mostly just minor editing and re-wording, but I’m happy about progress. Took a break to post an update here. If I’m quiet over the next few days well then you now know why. I might post some quizzes and memes if it gets too ridiculous, but I don’t want to bog the blog down with that stuff.

Anyway, ’till next time!

Right, so

My sechdule has become so unpredictable it’s unreal.

Assignment 19 for 2yn is kicking my ass. I’m thinking about weeding through my notes, doing some sketch work and going back and editing in changes for the previous assignments. My mind feels too cluttered with all the changes this story has been doing. Need to clear it.

So um…high-ho, it’s off to work I go?

And now for something that doesn’t suck!

Dirge, my story for the 2-year-novel course-Helena’s story- just evolved on me.

Well, more like grew a second head and a few tails and demanded I hold on tight cause the sucker wasn’t slowing down for anything. 

Almost four hours of research and all I can say is-

Final Week Word Count

Loaded Gun

Weekly word count: 1,808

Total MS word count: 2,839

I’m off to e-mail it to the crit partner, then probably get back to working on the 2YN assignment. Hopefully will get a longer post out later. That’s all for now.

 

Word Count

Sorry for the lack of posts this week, finally feeling a little better so I decided to actually get some work done.

This week’s word count: 1,696

Total word count: 2,612

Eh, not bad, but I want to do better. Switched working title to Loaded Gun for the time being. I finally got to introduce my heroine and some details about her world. I’m trying to shut off my internal editor and force myself not to edit till the first draft’s done. We’ll see how that goes.

Now to bloghop.

 

Mashed Potatoes Are Good For The Soul

…Or atleast for the sore throat.

Yay for random titles.

Eighty-five words short of the original.

I had to get rid of some dialogue which I might be able to put somewhere else, but I’m happy.

Sunday night-Monday mornning was horrible. I didn’t get to bed until 9 a.m. and I can’t even say I used the time I was awake productively.

I hate sleepless nights. I hate sleepless unproductive nights even more.

That’s so not happening again.
