Blessed silence
Woohoo, with some help from my Dad (okay, he totally did it for me) the battery has now been replaced in my smoke detector and the torture by beeping is over. Yes, I could have done it by myself, but I called in parental reinforcements. Not so much because i was worried about electrocuting myself, more because I was worried about breaking the ( Read more... ) -
Beep...beep...beep
So my place came with a pre-installed smoke detector (which has been a PITA for various other reasons) which runs off the mains. All well and good, its nice to know I'm not going to die a firey/smokey death one night while I snooze, but now its decided to beep at 5 minute intervals. Just one beep. One, really, loud beep. Over and over and over and ( Read more... ) -
I'm not being antisocial...
I'm away with family at the moment doing the Christmas thing, but that also means I'm in Internet purgatory as the connection here drops about once every thirty seconds and then can take anything up to 30 minutes to reappear. I have so many things to catch up with -especially replies to comments on the Camelot Drabble Holiday Fiction exchange, but ( Read more... ) -
Gwaine Fest 2014 - Posting time
Well, past posting time actually as my router decided it would be hilarious if it imploded on the day I was supposed to post - but I got my revenge, it's replacement has arrived and the old one is destined for the bin, bwaahaaahaahaa ( Read more... ) -
I wish I could write faster...
To be fair, right now, I'm not actually getting around to writing much at all, so speed isn't the problem, more getting pen to paper is. I've got a bunch of 'in progress' things that have just stalled out and then i get new ideas to add to the mix in a sort of snarled up traffic jam of none writing. I've got to be in the right frame of mind but at ( Read more... ) -
Word War - Day 4 (of 4)
I made it! only just though, it was hard going today...got to 613 words, which was kind of paltry but that still takes me up to a total of 4026 words - my target was 4,000, so I didn't exactly explode it, but I scraped by. Still, a bit disappointed that I didn't get more done today :(
No chance for more than a few scribbles over the next few days, ( Read more... ) -
Word War Day 3
Yay, 1144 words today and only one day to go. Barring catastrophes I think I'm actually going to make it! And then I'm out the next two night's doing stuff, but hopefully I'll be able to get another chunk done over the bank holiday weekend, and perhaps my zombie fic will actually have some zombies in. That would be good right? Even better would be ( Read more... ) -
Word War - Day 2
Scraped in at 1053 words today, phew. At some point though I'm actually going to have to start typing some of this up before it gets out of hand (yes, I know I am so old, I still write best with a pen in my hand...sigh, i wish it weren't so, life would be much easier)
Still no zombies yet in my zombie fic...they are waiting impatiently off screen, ( Read more... ) -
Word War - Day 1 (of 4)
Today's target was 1000 words and I hit 1216, so yay, go me :) It'll be harder for the other 3 days as they're work days, but hopefully I get 1000 per night written so I hit my 4000 word target for the 4 days. I'm hoping that'll get my scarily longer than usual fic moving again.
