popoffacork stories are live! 40 stories, and I haven't had a chance to read all of them yet but so far they've all been winners.
I wrote a story for popoffacork of course, but I can't talk about that for a week. I also wrote a story for yuletide, which I can talk about now: Things Too Wild for Their Words, a Where the Wild Things Are story. When I signed up this year, I ( Read more... ) -

Thank you to everyone who volunteered to pinch hit for popoffacork -- I was actually out of town yesterday and today and trying to organize everything with my phone and spotty Internet, so I know that I might not have responded to everyone, or at least not quickly and I apologize for that, but I really appreciate everyone who volunteered. It definitely made ( Read more... ) -

I was feeling a bit disgruntled about popoffacork last night and this morning, as there was a higher than usual rate of people not turning in stories and not responding to me, including someone who I really couldn't believe hadn't answered my email following up on a missing story -- I was actually getting concerned that something had happened to her, it was ( Read more... ) -

But today I'm ( Read more... ) -

No shopping for me today, I hate crowds and Black Friday is basically my idea of hell, so I am ensconced in my house on this very gray November day. I have a bunch of things I'd like to do -- clean, write, make turkey soup -- but apparently I am screwing around on the Internet and having an impromptu Michael Pitt film festival, Murder by Numbers ( Read more... ) -
oh brooklyn brooklyn take me in
I just set the out of office assistant message on my work email and so I'm officially off work till Tuesday! Very excited, I'm looking forward to relaxing. Usually I make a fancy side dish to take to my dad's -- his wife makes the big dinner -- but this year I'm bringing a nice bottle of wine as my contribution. I like to cook but I've been cooking ( Read more... ) -

Dear Yuletide Writer --
I pretty much covered everything that's important to me in my sign-up, but just in case:

I mostly hung around the house today, except for running out for a pumpkin latte. I walked for two miles, did not rake my lawn, cleaned the whole house, and filed a bunch of papers relating to money and the house. I also made a sausage ragout for dinner and am now sitting around drinking a pumpkin ale and working on the popoffacork matches. That should mix ( Read more... )
