Hallo!
Yes, still plugging away at NaNo. It's...different. I find i'm a little dissapointed in all the forums and stuff - it's not nearly as interesting as i thought, and a lot of the questions are really *dumb*. Like 'help me name my character'. I mean - whaaa?

So really, LJ is much better at feedbacky, supporty kind of...stuff. BUT! It's still a big public commitment that i like to have hanging over my head *hee*, so...i'm glad i'm doing it.

I'm a little sad about my word count so far, but not much. I knew i'd have days i couldn't write as much as i'd like, or off days. So no big.

Progress Bar!!

(20.2%)



My first *ever*. And i would *not* have this here except for the wonderful, smrt, and amazingly patient [livejournal.com profile] reremouse who all but beat me over the head to get me to *get it*. Sheesh. Thank you, bay-bee! You roxor.
I'm going to start posting a new Spander story, probably tomorrow or the next day. The poll relates to that story.


[Poll #607654]





And last but not least - picspam! The first is this very cool 3-D puzzle that my mum and dad bought. They had about half done and had stalled out, so my sis and i sat down and finished it. It was neat! Never did one before. See the white ghost candle, and the little girl-witch and pumpkin-head guy candles? My mum bought those and a few more when i was like - not born. We've never burned them, but she puts them out *every year*. The big ghost? Cost .87 cents. Yeah.

Picture two is the Monstrous Bebe, holding two of the cupcakes she decorated. She and her two cousins each had eight to decorate. They had a *lot* of fun. That's my older brother in the background.
Biggish if you're on dial-up!

Oh my gosh, the MB has grown up so much! Look at her huge gorgeous eyes! So sweet. :)

And congrats on coming along so well on your NaNo novel. You're way ahead of lots of people, so don't worry!

Oh good, glad to hear someone else supported that being said. It's something that I find disheartening, seeing such adamant remarks when of course writers have multiple reasons for putting works on hiatus, and when such comments can lengthen delays and periods of writers block.

The pictures are great! What a smile the Bebe has. She must have had a wonderful time on Halloween.

I've seen those 3D puzzles before, they look like a lot of fun.

Hey, are we going to get a chance to continue reading your Nano novel? Sometime in the future, when you're ready? Of course I'm excited about the new Spander story too, but you did let us read the first bit of the Nano story so... I'm invested in it.

Beautiful house, more beautiful Monstrous and purty cupcakes. I love that huge ghostie candle, it looks like Munch's Scream. :O

Yay for word count! Congrats on getting so far in your first week. Believe me, it's a very good start.

Cute cupcakes. They look yummy. Had to do a double take at the haunted house. Didn't even realize at first it was a puzzle. Very neat.

You + wrtiting = something I want to read, backstory or no. The more you write the happier I am. :) And yay! Halloweeny stuff!
