Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
Negative 2427 words? How’dja manage that?
Failed miserably at getting up early to write (up too late last night). Nnngh.
Oh well.
Revisionist history.
Hah! You are still behind lil-freeper.
I wasn’t when I went to bed last night.
Morning Corin! - let me send you a NaNo mail and then I think if you click on my name it will pull up my profile and the option to buddy is there...what is your handle there?
I’m “wardsmythe”
I’m “rosiecotton”...surprisingly enough. ;-)
Ungh...because I stayed up late to get my word count in last night, I don’t have much morning write time, and my guess is there won’t be time at work today, either.
Yay fer weekends!
Heheh...
corin - found ya and added ya...
thanks, I’ll head over there at lunch and add you back.
I may have to go post my entire chapter too...I just posted the first few paragraphs.
Actually meant wont get much writing done TODAY - gong to go see the movie tonite...Ive been trying to write in the morning, but I am so attuned to getting up and htinking of all the things I have to do in the day, that I cant settle myself down. I will probably wait until tonight...
Cool...even if I can’t get away with writing, I might be able to sneak some reading in.
I’m actually doing most of this on the typewriter and then transcribing at the end of the day. Glutton for punishment, I guess.
Your typewriter inspired part of my story.
But I spent nearly two hours on the phone trying to fix problems at work. Then I accepted the NewJob. Then I took a shower. Next I'm going to go to town to get camping supplies - trying to come up with an optimal list to ensure our comfort just in case we got cleaned out up at the vacation cabin without duplicating anything spendy. I just determined my backpacking stove was up there. This worries me because I've been in love with that stove for over a decade (2nd generation Peak I Apex). That stove has stories! I don't want to replace it with something shiny and new-fangled.
There was a guy at the write-in last night using a pen and notebook and transcribing later. You folks are crazy.
