New verse:

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
But ultimately the world gets destroyed.
Maybe you should write a trilogy. Just so's you can make lots of money on the first two installments afore everyone gets blowed up in the third.
Well, there is a story after the world gets destroyed. But first things first. ;)
Hey, my story would work really well as the opener of a whole series, if we're talking commercial success.
Hence, a Marine officer ...
Is it pronounced "Lahk-lan?"
Mine don't always wield weapons per se - though they often do - but writing a demure little girl, or a wimp? Not me.
Of course since at least 50% of my heroines are based on the same "character", and she's a fiery spirit, they do tend to have a lot in common... the one for this NaNo is different, though. She's more talkative for one thing which is why I have to use first person. Her personality just won't work in third.
The male lead is a tall, dark, mysterious type with a cool temperament and l337 skillz. I am gonna love this!
I can't abide whiny women!
Yes. I believe it is Scottish.
Neither can I. My mama didn't raise no wimpy whiners!
But Ma.........
Whining is not good for thread health.
Awww.....< whiiiiiinnnnneeee >
*Sigh*
Need to find something else to watch besides the news. Don't really want to catch up on the local murdars and fatal accidents.
Ummm...."murders."
Great....now they've moved to child abuse.
Where's muh Three Stooges?
Well on the topic of whining, I had a stinker of a day.But it's over now. I ate chocolate at work, ordered pizza when I got home - it's a stress response. And my sweetheart gave me a big hug. So it's all good again.
That'll do it every time!!
Got some good data from last night. :)
We had work guys in the lab installing shelving so I didn't get any samples prepped. Transcribed yesterday's meeting minutes...did some odds and ends.
Got laundry going now and just but an acorn squash in the oven. Reckon I ought to clean some collards.
Are you a 'Richard Sharpe' fan? I got "Sharpe's Havoc" on CD from the library and have been listening as I'm driving around town. When Clare is in the car, we listen to "Order of the Phoenix" on tape. Sure beats listening to the news!
I got an acorn squash the other day. I'm gonna try a recipe I learned in Japan!
