I've officially passed into my 120wpm speed tests. Yes! The end is in sight. Once again I've spent the past 3 weeks of the quarter arguing talking with the school in an attempt to get my life organized. But, it's all sorted out now and life is good. I won't have to argue talk with them again until winter quarter starts.

Classes have started up again. My lovely vacation is over. I went to the beach the last week of September and it was heavenly. Got to see all my family (including the cutest nephew ever ( Read more... )

I passed 1 of the 3 tests required to pass the 100wpm speed level. I'm actually waiting to hear my scores for this past week's testing and I'm kind of nervous. I think I did really well on one of them.  I should hear by tomorrow evening. I have a feeling that lawyers and their crazy, rambling sentences will be the bane of my future existence ( Read more... )

I suppose I've grown tired of this journal so I've decided to dedicate this one to updates about myself (when I feel like it) and to keep track of those I've already friended through here.

New lj is hoot0wl. I figured I'd move fanfiction rambles elsewhere so that is where they'll be for now on. Friend me there if you wish. You don't have to. ;)

Nearly finished with chapter 4 of Crossing Boundaries. I just remembered I wrote an outline (yes, how organized of me) and, if I'm reading it correctly, I'm reaching the halfway point. Now, that means next to nothing. I could scrap the whole thing and just wing it.

Anyway, I've got to straighten out the end of the chapter and figure out my ( Read more... )

Someone needs to tell me what I was thinking when I chose to write an adventure/action story. That has to have been one of the worst ideas I've had in a while. I'm definitely a fluff kind of writer and Crossing Boundaries is driving me mad since it is not a fluffy story--not really, at any rate--though I wouldn't put it past myself to fluff it up.

Bad news, my friends, I have lost my journal. Yes, it's gone, never to be seen again. I somehow misplaced it in the Atlanta airport about two weeks ago today. I discovered it missing a week and a half ago. It's disheartening. All my story scribbles where in the journal.  I hope someone out there is entertained. I have to start all over.

So, funny ( Read more... )

Well, this is the original start for the Zutara prompt #61: birth. It wasn't going where I wanted it so I started over with, hopefully, better results.

I haven't posted a whole lot lately. Particularly in the RK fandom. That's not to say that I haven't written anything at all. Most of what I've scribbled down hasn't been remotely worth typing up, posting, or polluting the web. Recently, I've decided to dig up a few pieces that I've left to gather dust and have always meant to finish. One is Ruined ( Read more... )

I should have included this in yesterday's drabble dump but I had only gone through one of my journals and got tired. Now, I'm on... the one that was used mostly at work and places my normal journal is awkward to carry. I don't think I'll be delving into this fandom... there are other far more talented P&P fanfic authors than myself.
