I'm only in it!  Sorry had to get that in somewhere. xD It's of the Being Human live event on thursday, which was awesome (and I met Aidan!! :)) 

Anyway pretty much watch the vid to see how awesome it was. :) 


(Sorry for posting this late, i was waiting for the vid to go up on youtube for my non-brit friends)

I'm a little late with my post this year, but oh well. Hope everyone had/ will have a good Yule or whatever festival they celebrate this time of year. :)

80441/ 200000

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
- Laurence Binyon, For the Fallen

(I know it's the same lines of poetry I posted last year, but I can't think of anything more fitting. Plus I'm too ill and I've had too crappy a day to dig out my notes and get something better)


73768/ 200,000. I'm still only just on Schedule, but at least I'm on schedule right? My body count is currently at 9 but hopefully we'll hit double figures tomorrow :)

60237/ 200,000


I caught up. :) Now I feel like I can go for 200k again. Last week was a blip. It didn't happen. I just lost confidence. Won't happen again.


But OMG Zach left the other vampires! He just walked out on Toki! How can he do this to me!? What the hell am I suppose to do with my carefully planned out plot now that he's screwed it all up? >_

Hit 50k today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and yesterday I met Kasorin of the spork room. Was too tired to post about that last night. She was awesome and wonderful and brought me chocolate!

I also managed to name one of my character's after Sinead Keenan (Nina from Being Human), I told her on Twitter and she got all excited about it. :P Bless her. I don't know how to tell her that I wrote the character in for body count though!! (Though the character's started being a pain and claiming to be the tragic love interest who went evil that Zach keeps hinting about so she might appear in the novel later on anyway)

36040/ 150000

Gonna try and get 50k by the end of sunday!

Ended on it again today!

I think i have an rsi. my left wrist is hurting me far too much to type. I'm scared. Really scared. I can't survive without typing. Not just my writing. Most of my social life is on the internet at the moment.

I'm really really scared.

Haven't updated you lot on my wc lately. :/

22119/ 150000.

Oh and I keep ending my wordcount for the day on 19. It's really weird. It's not planned or anything. It's just happening. o_O

Dropping down to 150k goal. Can't do 200k after all I've been through. Next year. Next year.

Can't find a widget, I'll get one tomorrow or something.


10,019/ 200,000

Had a crisis over my plot and nearly gave up on my first night. This November is gonna be so fun. >_<.

Just thought I'd post some pictures of the new puppy. :)

Having a freakout about NaNo.

200,000 words is a lot. A lot. I don't think I've ever noticed that before. :'(

Okay I know it's not very good. I can fine tune it a bit later if you want. I just got annoyed at photoshop and gave up. But hey it's something right? :P

Just got an email from Lindsey Grant and I'm gonna be ML for Birmingham in this year's NaNo!!!!!!! I applied to do it with my friend Sue and have been accepted!  I'm so excited! This is the first year I've been able to do it since they don't take under 18s. But OMG I'm so excited about it now!!!




(There you go eagle. A post. Happy now?)

This isn't my usual pagan post. It is the solstice today and instead of doing a ritual with much chanting and incense burning I decided on a different approach.

Now some may say that this is the wrong thing to do and you are all entitled to your opinion, but personally I found this perfect. More perfect than I've ever felt anything to be before.

Over the last few days I've been very depressed. So depressed that I haven't been able to do much other than read.

And so I was hesitant to perform my usual ritual for the solstice. I felt bad for missing out but then it struck me.

All I want to do at the moment is read. So why not sit up a tree as I enjoyed a few years and read.

Of course my childhood tree, the appletree that standing in my garden was no longer an option. The branch I used to use to get up there was hacked off by my father a few years ago (which incidently was what made me stop going there in the first place. (I did try to get up there, and managed, but couldn't get the book up there as well and when I did get up there I got stuck and was unable to get down.)

So I went to the common down the road from my house. I spent a while to get up there and even longer trying to find a decent tree. And then I saw one that I could climb up. It looked hard, but managable.

The tree had a can speared on one of the branches by some careless person. I removed the can and in return the tree granted me access to the branches and gave me a seat of branches in which to sit in.

Alas my agoraphobia got the better of me and only twenty minutes passed before I found I could sit there no longer and had to return home. But those twenty minutes were the most perfect twenty minutes of my life. And I would risk the outside world just to have them again. :)
