Find this week's post at tumblr hereI'll be honest. I don't remember a whole lot about what went on during Week 4. I'm putting that down to heat-induced amnesia. What I do remember is that I went into Week 4 with a whole lot of word debt and not a lot of confidence. Until Sunday night, that is, when I was lying in bed trying to sleep and started ( Read more... )

Apparently "Week 3" is synonymous with "slack off." Because that's mostly what I did this week.

In NaNoWriMo's past, Week 3 has been, for me anyway, the final slog after turn you a corner and see civilisation in the distance. You still have a few pit bogs to deal with before you get there, but at least it's ( Read more... )

Find this week's post at tumblr hereThe bemoaning of Week 2 seems to be common to most, if not all, NaNoWriMo participants. Week 2 is when the plot starts happening (usually. If not ... at least there's still two weeks to go) and the the going gets tough. The leafy green foliage of creative energy has been left in the dust and you're standing in ( Read more... )

Back when I was a semi-regular blogger, I posted progress reports every few days when I was NaNo-ing. This time I wasn't going to blog at all, seeing as I'm doing daily word count updates on Facebook, but then thought it might be fun to document the event weekly, given that the weeks during NaNo tend to differ greatly from each other in terms of ( Read more... )

I was watching Inside the Actor's Studio the other day and was reminded of how much I love the questionnaire at the end, and how much I've always wanted to answer those questions for myself.

So here we are, two weeks removed from the episode that devastated a fandom. Most people posted their reactions immediately after the episode, or the next day, and that's originally what I was going to do as well. But then I thought, "No, I'm going to wait a few days, let the emotion fade a little, and look at the episode objectively."

...Well. I ( Read more... )

I know, I know, I've been M.I.A. for wayyyyyyy too long. I make no excuses, but I've been busy with work and uni and writing. And sleep. Always sleep.

Still, thought I'd pop in to let anyone who still cares know that I've dug out my sheep suit and created a Tumblr. Why, I don't know. But I've felt it coming on for a while now. I have a tendency to ( Read more... )

1. What’s your favorite time of day to read?
I don't know if I have favourite time to read as such, but most of my reading happens in the afternoon or at night.

2. Do you read during breakfast? (Assuming you eat breakfast.)
No. During the week, I eat at my desk when I get to work, and on weekends I just have a cup ( Read more... )
