Friday Show-and-Tell

Jan24

Shamelessly copied from [personal profile] jjhunter:

Friday, every Friday, I invite you (yes, you!) to share with me key Dreamwidth (or LJ, or Tumblr, or anything else) posts from the last week. They can be one or more of your own posts, posts of others you’d recommend, interesting discussions, linkspams, tiny delights, whatever stands out to you from the last seven days that you’d like to highlight. Assume that I’ve been away and pining too true and catch me up on what matters to you.

In return, I will make a point of commenting on at least one post of those you share, and I encourage others to do the same.

Newcomers, lurkers and long-time commentators equally welcome

First and Last Words – almost done!

Jan24

First Words of Yesterday:

The dance was… loud. Loud and crowded were the first things Kailani noticed, followed quickly by is that a bar?

Last words:
“I don’t think it’s a problem, is it?” She glanced at Taro. Why would he be offended?

yesterday was a weeee bit scant; I wrote 935 words of Addergoole, bringing my total to 24,689 (Goal: the 25000 finish line).

Today, I’ll cross that finish line and then some, and then we’ll see where we’re at!

What I’m Up To, a Summary

Jan23

So, this month is most of the way done.

The Last Summary

I’ve been working on my Pirate Nano – 25000 words of rewrite on Addergoole: Book One and 12,000 words of Other Writing.

Other Writing includes a lot of Bingo Card writing 🙂

Angry Guy With Horns (Addergoole)

It’s the time of year when I think about doing stuff with the house, so there’ve been some Homesteading Links:

Poured Concrete/Recycled glass Counters
My Next Project Up
Woodworking Skills to Build

I’ve been thinking about Neglected Settings, too.

And getting back to losing weight.

Next month
Among other things, will be World-Building Month – stop by and ask me some questions about any of my settings. I’ll answer the first 28 questions!

First and Last Words: Yesterday

Jan23

The First Words of Yesterday (on Addergoole: Book One):

A glance back at Emrys told her he was impatient. Worried she’d change her mind?

Last Words of Yesteday:

“Very enjoyable indeed.”

I wrote 1,242 words of Addergoole: Book One yesterday, bringing me to 23,754 words all told (4 words over goal)

I wrote 692 words of Other yesterday (The Addergoole story Matchmaker, Matchmaker), bringing my Other total to 11,362 (38 words under goal).

This is, in theory, the last day of my PiNoWriMo goal; I should reach 25,000 words today.

I have still to write on Addergoole – 2 descriptions, 3 bonus stories, 4 questions answered, and a partridge in a pear tree. ♪♪♫

February: World-Building Month

Jan22

[personal profile] piratekitten has declared February world-building month.

So!

here’s a landing page with most of my universes on it.

I will take the first 28 questions (before February, no more than 4/person and no more than 5/any given ‘verse) about setting and answer 1/day for the entirety of February.

Go!

First Words of Yesterday: Him, with the pointed chin and the set-jaw smile?

Last Words of Yesterday: <span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;

I wrote 857 words yesterday on Addergoole, which brought me to 22,513 – and in the final stretch!

Anything you would be interested in as bonus material in the Addergoole: Book One book?
