NaNo 2014 in a nutshell: Had to finish writing so I could feed the cat. Final Word Count (official): 50,155 (Unofficial was 50,002; not sure where the site got the extras.

Things I’ve Learned About […]

From a trip to Vancouver; this is from the Vancouver Aquarium] [Bonus Points: Yes, I’ve read a fanfic that mentioned a narwhal. Hasn’t everyone read the Merlin / Babysitters […]
Things to do today this afternoon: 1. Vacuum. Possibly try to figure out why I have such a hard time spelling that word. 2. Eat an actual fruit or vegetable. Admit that the chives in my chive cream cheese do not actually count. 3. I’m going to need two lunches this week for work. (Pizza […]
Last weekend was Thanksgiving arts and crafts time here at the apartment, and I am proudly (maybe more like determinedly) displaying this hand turkey on my door until Thanksgiving is officially over.
1. what 2. I have no idea what I’m doing. 3. Current word count: 32,345 4. Currently grateful for: In 11 days it will be over one way or another. 5. Can you really spend 18,000 words writing about Thanksgiving? I WILL TRY VALIANTLY.
