Sorta Stuck

Not as stuck as I’ve been lately, and for a much better reason.  I’ve written about 2500 words so far today.  I still have–oh, four hours or more before my usual bedtime? No school because of Veteran’s Day.  Yay Veterans!  And not because I get the day off, either.  There are a lot of vets […]

The incident took place Sunday, when Britain celebrated Bonfire Night, traditionally marked with fireworks to celebrate the Guy Fawkes’ gunpowder plot to blow up Parliament in the 17th century. The man

Pick that Nit!

Liquid Silver, you can pick that nit anytime. Here’s what she said in her lovely review of one of my fanfics, “I caught a little mistake in your use of German. In chapter 4, you let Schuldig say “Was ist das?” as the literal translation of “What is it?” (or so I assume). The correct

A Whuppin' is Less Than He Deserves

I’m amazed I got anything done tonight.  I did, 1,077 words worth, but it was hard.  I kept wandering off to check the election results. No, I’m not fool enough to think all Democrats are good people, or necessarily smart or wise enough to run a country.  But guess what?  That IDIOT in the White

Wowza…

2421 words.  That puts me at…9,867 words.  I hate to stop so close to ten thousand, but the road martians are telling me it’s time for beddie-bye. *sigh* This is…incredible.  Who knew NaNoing was not only a word, it’s a word that excuses a multitude of goofs?  “Can’t talk right now, I’m NaNoing.”  “No, let’s
