When clean hurts
(An actual conversation from this afternoon, at our place)
#1 Daughter: "What's that fresh smell?"
Me (laughing a bit under my breath): "Pine-Sol, Clorox, and toilet bowl cleaner. I cleaned the bathrooms."
#1 Daughter: "It smells good... but my nose is starting to hurt."
Me: "That's the stench of cleanliness, #1 Daughter. It burns, I know. Don't ( Read more... ) -

Damn plot bunnies, go diaf! >_
Yes, Rockstar-AU, I'm looking at you. No. NO.
Those pages of notes? Those are doodles. Not plotlines.
Not character development, not set-up, not "plans".
I am not writing you right now. I need to finish too many other stories first.
You need to wait your turn.

NaNo! I DID IT!
I DID IT! :D
I've wanted to try NaNo for years, but was never in a position to. Now that my youngest is 2 (and a half), and my oldest is more independent (she's 6), and I have a job where I'm not having a nervous breakdown, I finally gave it a shot.

I hit 51,956 words tonight. *^_^* I'm so proud of myself!!

XD I've been wanting to do this for years. And years. And years. And now I'm just going to do it. :D No more letting petty things like work, children, and other ( Read more... )
