  1. What sucks is I’m on my second power outage of the day :(

      Dear gods… I’m sorry! :hug:

      Luckily, it’s come back (for now), so I made sure to heat up some dinner!

  2. When I think about Trump’s wall, I can’t help thinking about Hadrian’s Wall.

      When I think of Trump’s wall, I think he’s lost his marbles and is off his rocker. Perhaps that’s what daddy demanded in return for making the loan…

       

  3. When in doubt, add in a few random farts to the story, that’ll spice things up….

      “I knew the dame was trouble the second she waltzed into my office with Taco Bell take out. Suddenly, a fart rang out!

  4. When it rains, it pours, and wished it really did!  My pickup truck breaks down on the way into work :(   Had to walk over an hour home, with the existing sunburns from Friday, not pleasant.

      That’s the nice thing with the pickup, only a two-seater cab with not much space to accumulate clutter.

      He has a gangbox in the trunk, and the back seat holds the overflow of things he needs, or once needed, or might possibly need, or forgot he has. I refuse to look for anything in his car. The last time I tried, something bit me. :lol:

      Well, fumigation might work for this!

  5. When the mind's stumped, spontaneously add in a murder attempt to the story, that’ll spice things up.

    1. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      And… chasing this rabbit hole, it’s likely going to change into a successful killing (one of the party, because, you know….).

    2. Desiderius Price

      Yeah, the “attempt” bit has left the plot bunny.

  6. When the youtube video is “HOW TO MAKE YOUR BOOBS LOOK BIGGER | How To Contour Your Boobs”, I definitely had to watch that in full for research to make sure my character is properly accenting out hers in my story.

  7. While a bit slow for an extended weekend (mostly due to a game distraction), I did finish Jefferey episode 12, which won’t be posted for a while, the usual reasons (that and wanting to get the entire episode arc more or less done before I begin posting it).

  8. While I’m not going to sign up for NaNo, I’ll make a goal.  Add 70k to my adult version of my potter fanfic.  We’ll see how well this fares at the end of the month.

      They do allow fan fiction, and anything you submit is encrypted and scrambled. They just want word count, and not manuscripts per se, so the verification process doesn’t even save the encrypted file.

      But do your own unofficial NaNa if you like, and get those 70k words out by November 30! :lol:

      Let’s go with posted, start of the month is 126.8k, and I’m effectively trying to get it to 200k.  (It’s on AO3 as I was more confident posting it there, and luckily, they’ve got word counts.)  And boy, is the word count ballooning with this revision. 

      So, I can measure the word count to a very specific plot point that’s shared among the drafts, pretty early into the story.  The old-old draft came to 60k to that point, the old-draft (now being replaced) came to 23.6k; the “clean” new version marked 50k; while the “adult” version clocked 115k to reach that same plot point.  A little arithmetic on the word counts to those old drafts, and I won’t be surprised if I’m talking millions of words before the story is truly finished.

      Thus, that 70k goal might move me 5% of the way through the story, maybe….

      What will help this month is every weekend is either 3 or 4 days due to my work schedule.

  9. Who! Hoo!  A 10k day, that’s always nice.  Brings my total to just over 50k so far this month – now time to slide my goal to...say 100k?

  10. Why do deer seem to have cloaks of invisibility when it comes to their game of dodge-cars?

      Because every deer is at least a 5th level thief, if the ones that get into my sister’s garden are any indication.

      I did find a dent repair service, which, according to the google reviews, seems good.  I’ll have to give them a call.

    4. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      And just to push it to the other side of the credit card bill… it’ll be next week before I can get the dents out.

  11. Why is it that I can’t seem to keep “easy light” charcoal lit and burning?

  12. Why, oh why, am I researching bullet-proof caskets?

    1. CloverReef

      CloverReef

      Obviously because you're planning your funeral and anticipate some less-than-happy relatives paying their respects. 

  13. Winter is nearly here, tis the time for Santa to be banging the reindeer.

      :cry: Childhood = ruined 

      The joke there is that I had a childhood! Ha! Nah…  :taser: :spank: You want christmas pornstar names, google Christmas elves. http://www.elfcrazy.com/traditional-names-of-the-first-christmas-elves/

      Oh good, now I don’t have to feel guilty for thinking claus was hot

      or that demonic nun. :mademyday:

  14. Wish it were a weekend…. two days to go.

  15. Wishing Dirty Angel another happy birthday!  (Maybe she’ll bless AFF with a visit?)

  16. Wishing everybody a Happy Equinox!

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      And the same to you! :D

  17. Wishing everybody a happy new year!

      Happy New Year, Des… hope this is a much better one for you (with no boiler breakdowns!) :)

      :hug:

      @pippychick  Should be … at least it’d be covered by the warranty if it does …

      It also means it’s nearly time for the Halloween round robin :)

    3. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Well, yes, there is that! I wonder what evil I can conjure for this year…:lol:

    4. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      I had one idea I sketched out, but it kinda belongs in the story proper.   But I did come up with a second idea, both have their Halloween element in them :P

       

  19. With the writing noggin exhausted for the evening… August words written is 92.1k.  Met both my usual goal and the first stretch goal (second stretch goal... well, not quite).

  20. Wondering if we’re going to have a Halloween round robin this year… it was fun last year.

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      I do believe we are. I’m going to work on something in any event. :D

    2. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      The first one I worked on several months ago, might go into the story proper, so it likely won’t be round robin material.  I do have a second idea that I’m working on, a mini prequel to SR: Alaska.

    3. GeorgeGlass

      GeorgeGlass

      I hope so. Like BW, I’ve got a story in the works in any case.

  21. Words are starting to flow, now unstuck (and maybe over my fallout 4 addiction, we’ll see), so now making progress on chapter 13 for Dale’s game! 

  22. Worst horror story of the week: MONDAY!

      That’s why I’ve stopped associating lawyers with sharks, cause I don’t want to defame the sharks.
