Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
I have software I need to install on four computers, but I'm stalling.
Did get in some writing during lunch. There's a part of me that just wants to dig in and write whatever I want to this story, regardless of any logic (heh...when I mentioned I was getting disgusted with it, Dad suggested I have friends or co-workers turn out to be alien invaders...) and as quickly as possible - maybe even try to finish Wednesday so I can do no writing at all during the holiday, or get back to my REAL story.
Huh, give it a shot! I've got to get some action going, I'm just slogging along...
I don't think I like realism. To write, I mean.
At least I tried it. Practice makes perfect, I guess.
Heh, and now you know what you don't like!
I don't like... um... the story I'm writing now. I like bits of it but as a whole I didn't have enough plot. It's got bits that are nice but I kind of wish I'd done something else. Oh well. Something else in December, no?
Well, Good Afternoon, Hobbitses...
Made it back safe last night, and taking the day off for laundry and just lying about.
And treated myself to my first screening of "Return of the King".
I wish I had the chance to see it when it was still in the theaters, but now I can see it whenever I want.
What a nice day...
Are we fully recovered yet? Today looks like a smoother day, but that all could change in a heart beat.
In December I'll print this piece o' junk out and file away - just so I can say I have it, and because some day I may salvage a character or two from it - and then I'll hopefully finish the rough draft to Teresa's fairytale and get THAT printed and maybe bound in some way.
And then...well, I have an idea for a science fictiony / fantasy sort of thingie. I'll probably wait until January, but I think *that* may actually have potential. I'll likely be singing a different song when I'm 15k or so into it, but hey...that's one thing NaNo has been good for - I KNOW there are ups and downs, but it's possible to keep slogging even when the story is crap...and if it actually has some promise it's worth slogging for! ;-)
Hullo!
And how are we today? Just hanging in Tacoma here waiting for the freedom bird to carry me back to Illinois.
Thank You, Rosie!
And Welcome Back (belated) to you, S!
I feel a lot better today! And your group?
We are fogged in today, but none of the predicted rain yet. How's the rest of your week looking?
Oh, absolutely. You just have to keep at it. I have several ideas for what to do next... I think a more SF-y piece.
Practice makes perfect!
SOme of them went out last night after our dinner and are having trouble today. I decided to conquer my jet lag and was fast asleep at 9:30. Week is looking good, so hopefully we get some time to meet your horses.
BTW did you see I correctly predicted Aarons toilet hugging?
Those guys can take more abuse than I can then! I was asleep early too.
You just let us know when you've got freedom.... we're easy ;~D
When do you head back to Illinois? And is it your whole group that's headed there?
Check for FReepmail
Yes, I did! Did you laugh and point while he suffered too? The poor guy. ;~D
Of course we laughed, he didnt seem to like the taste of that McDonalds breakfast anymore though. He of course blames it on a bad cup of army coffee, but we all know the truth.
And the question we all must answer...
At which point did you start crying?
