Heading home from Atlanta

Will be in late tonight. I’m waiting to fix my template until WP 2.7 is released in a couple of days. Sucks becuase of all the work I put into it, but oh well, right? hehehe.

Did my 100 Words today.

Well, even though it doesn’t look right

the blogging must go on - particularly as I haven’t been blogging much over NaNo.

I am starting 100 words, and I think it will be a really good thing for me. While I am finishing my NaNo. heh. Here’s today’s.

She thought that the sensation of the migraine was like someone taking tweezers, and slowly pulling out the veins in her head, one by one, like someone pulling out unneeded threads from an old sweater. If she lay very, very, still, she could almost hear each one as it snapped off, leaving her face without a scaffolding. She thought about how her face would look, slowly crumpling under the weight of her skin, without anything to keep it up, kind of like one of those dried apple face dolls that sat on the shelf behind her dead grandmother’s kitchen sink.

Ok so

Upgrading to wordpress 2.6.5 broke my theme and some plugins So we are going with the default until I can design a new theme. Gurrrrrrrrrr.

Well I made it

As evidenced by the LOLCat up there heh.

I didn’t make it to my goal yet, but I did hit my 50k+ which is pretty damn good. I’ve been in Atlanta since the 22nd, so that substantially cut down on my writing time - plus the friend’s house I’m at had no wireless! A travesty! And all of the neighbors had their wireless locked up. So there were up 8 people sometimes (depending on who was there,) trying to use the home computer. Finally I gave in and for a thank you present I bought her a router and set up a network for her so that other people could use their laptops. I had to man.

So anyway, visiting cut down on my writing, but I still made 50k. I’m shooting for the rest of it (30k) by Dec 15-20th, depending on how busy we are at work.

I’m also doing the opposite of NaNo for the month of December - I’m doing 100 Words. Writing exactly 100 words, every day, for a month, starting tomorrow. Yeah I’m crazy. This is all about the discipline tho.

And the fact I am crazy.

More soon…

We back

For some reason my header got messed with and brought down the site. Hummmmmm.

Where the hell is my blog????

It dissapeared!

100 words

Val — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 02:34:48 +0000

This is an interesting idea - 100 Words - write exactly 100 words a day for a month, and if you succeed than you get the whole batch posted. Think I shall, but AFTER NaNo!

Back to work.

Seeing as I love LOL catz…….

Val — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 23:20:37 +0000
