Who I am and what's going on
Greetings!
My name's Lauren K. Moody. I'm a writer, and that's mostly what I write about--my writing and things related to my writing, like the books I read and the writing- or book-related events I go to (readings, conventions, etc).
On that note, this entry will be the only one unique to this journal (barring unforeseen circumstances). My primary ( Read more... ) -
donation made easy
I live in fairly cramped quarters, and one of the issues I mentioned was finding places to PUT things while I figured out how/when to drop them off for donation. I found possibly the easiest way ever to donate (assuming you have easy access to boxes). It's call Give Back Box. Basically all you need to do is sign up (free), print a shipping label ( Read more... ) -
Small steps
Took ~20 minutes this morning and culled my dresser. Tried to get rid of "I have 4+ items that serve the same purpose, this is my least favorite", "no longer fits", "not my style anymore" and "why do I even have this?" Filled most of a paper bag with clothes to donate.
The problem is, now I have a paper bag full of clothes sitting in my room. ( Read more... ) -
Brief update and Moving Saga Part 1/?
My summer job teaching gifted kids to write fantasy? Was AMAZING. I worked 12 hour days for 3 weeks straight and loved every minute of it. I want to do it again, especially now that I've done it once and can learn from my experience. Seriously, so much work and SO FUN.
The day job also picked up over the last few months, which is great because I ( Read more... ) -
Writing, Wingless, life update, etc
* checks date *
* checks date of last entry *
*shuffles feet *
As we used to say in the days of LJ (. . . and ffn, if that's not showing how long I've been in fandom), RL Happened. I'd like to get back to updating this regularly, but I also know making promises I can't keep is never a good idea. I also don't think it will look the same, if I do ( Read more... ) -
Wingless icon!
Alright, I've finished the first (easier) half of the hardcopy edits. All the typos I found are fixed, with some easy-to-add or easy-to-delete bits taken care of also ( Read more... ) -
I really need an icon for Wingless
Let Wingless lie fallow for a month, and then took another month (argh life) to do the hardcopy edit. Now I begin to apply said hardcopy edits.
For the record!
Current Wingless wordcount: 95228
I shall update once I have a wordcount for the end of DII! Here's hoping it's <95k ( Read more... ) -
FINISHED AH HAHAHAHAH!
Personal best ever daily wordcount: 7858
Final wordcount for DI: 95400
Wingless: FINISHED AHHHAHAHAHAH.
. . . and only a month late.
On the other hand, three days before the revised deadline of June 30. Silver lining!
And now to blast Ever Ever After and ice my wrists.

Novel progress
Note to future self (and anyone who's interested): check twitter for more day-by-day updates on wordcount.
So it turns out that trying to churn out 90k words in two and a half months takes up pretty much all your free time! And while I sort of knew that, I'd never done it while also working, so that's a new and not entirely fun experience. Getting ( Read more... ) -
