Just going to throw it out there that I won NaNoWriMo again just now. And I was only under my goal word count for one day the entire month.

:D

Under Skin, Behind Bone progress:

Wordcount: 20,000
Wordcount of "cuts" document: 55,000

...how did this happen?!

I was fooling around on y!Gal the other day, just lookin' around the South Park fanart, when I ran across this gorgeous Token/Clyde piece (warning: shota), and it made me smile, but then I thought What if they got caught? and this happened. (The story's not officially Token/Clyde, BTW, though it can be if you want it to be. Nobody's got names, so ( Read more... )

So, it's finals week, and I'm panicking. One would think that this would not be a good week to be wasting time on LJ, but posting things always makes me worry about the post more than whatever else is going on in my life, so I'm going to go ahead and use this story that's been lying around for a while to distract myself. You see, I linked this ( Read more... )

My college's literary magazine accepted Panflute, in its entirety. I can't decide how I feel about this. I mean, I got published (no money or anything, but the literary magazine here is picky, so I think it's an accomplishment), but then again, my school's literary magazine is willing to publish furry shota. o.O I submitted it to make a point, that ( Read more... )

Finally, finally progress is being made on my serial killer story. I've been working on this thing... let me see... since November 2007, and it just doesn't really lend itself to the novel format I was trying to do. I think I've got it now--it's working on being a slightly disjointed series of illustrated scenes, hacked together and starting from ( Read more... )

In November, I sent Richard Labonte of Cleis Press a short story for his Beautiful Boys anthology, and have yet to hear anything. It's not actually due until February 1st, so I was wondering if it was normal for anthologies to not sent notices until after the deadline, or if sometimes they don't sent notices at all, or if it would be completely out ( Read more... )

I make a sad face.
Four hundred measly words.
This was easy then.

/fail. I finished the paper, but it was very frustrating to see that tiny number keep on not changing, right after I wrote at least 3k words every day for a week in November. Why can't I just make things up for history papers? It would be just as good!

(Sorry about actual RL blogging, but important stuff has happened, and blank Internet space is an excellent place to squee/vent/bitch where no one who knows you can make fun of you afterwards.)

( Cut for emo hogwash. tl;dr: Lots of little things added up, and I won NaNo because of it. )

NaNoWriMo has never been this hard. :( Halfway through, I am less than a quarter of the way done, and just now, two hundred words vanished into the ether. Seriously, I don't know what happened. However, my story is awesomesauce, and I'm going to win anyway ( Read more... )
