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!
I needtuh pay better attention tuh the post count...
I’d love a day of 70s. Unfortunately, I think I need to be happy enough with a few hours of no rain or wind today :~)
~sip~
yer positive outlook is always such a joy to behold...
That's a thought. I have major rewrites.
Well, he is the annointed king, after all!
Typical lib’ral. Annointed by a gay wizard and makin’ it with an elf half his age...
I have probably 10k more words and them major massive rewrites.
Anyone else up for finish/edit/fake NaNo in February? OT, you were going to maybe do NaNo then, right?
Ain’t no way I could finish a rewrite in Feb., but I’d be up for trying to finish the story. Probably have another 25k, I’d guess, and it’ll be more difficult writing than the first 50k, so that’s not a bad goal by itself.
I am in that boat. I have 30-40k more to go for the story. Even if I never clean it up and stuff I want to at least finish it. My feburary challenge would be to just get to a satifying ‘the end’ stopping spot. Something were any more I ever wrote would be called a sequel. Editing would be a bonus but I have to far still to go to do both in one month. Just finishing.
I’m not sure I could finish in February either. But I need to do the rewrites to make the story work.
Yeah, I doubt my rewrites could be done in a month but if it’s a NaNo style effort I’d be a lot closer. I could probably finish the story and fix the really awful scenes that need to be totally replaced, and maybe even start on the smaller editing.
I’m suggesting February because NaNo has taught me that starting a project like that at the start of a month helps a lot, and because the longer we put it off the harder it’ll be.
Then again LOST is back on January 31...
Huh? Already?
Best wishes, my FRiend!
Heh heh...well, I’m building a mini greenhouse. The little bed is only four by five feet big.
That is gorgeous!
Our furnace is making squeaking sounds.
If it was your furnace... would this be a very bad thing?
Good luck today! Let us know how it goes when you can. :~)
You know I want to see it when it’s done!
