| NaNoWriMo Day 12 |
[Nov. 12th, 2009|10:15 pm] |
22,769/50,000 - I am very happy with how this went today. I mean, I feel motivated to just get that last 1.2k out of the way and get up to that goal I keep putting on myself yet never actually... reach. XD But at the same time, this ending just feels so... perfect, that I don't really want to do anything to it.
Looking back at it though, it's actually a very depressing read. A few posts ago, I wrote about the three types of people in the world - she is definitely the first type. The worst part is, she was originally introduced to the cast to be a neutral, maybe even happy person. =/
Also included is a really big metaphor about how killing people is like conducting an orchestra! 8D

| NaNoWriMo Day 11 |
[Nov. 11th, 2009|10:53 pm] |
20,464/50,000 - I'M ALMOST HALFWAY THERE 8D
Another uber long post, and I'm still trying to catch up. I'm gonna try to get better about this "post every day" thing instead of every other day, so I have easily-digestible chunks instead of LONG WALLS OF WTF TEXT.
This post is kind of exposition heavy, and LOADED WITH SPOILERS, so if you haven't read up to this point, I suggest you not read this, as it'll completely ruin the first 15,000 words of the novel. I also realize I'm probably talking to only one person, so **SALUTE! @ ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) rebbe** :D
( You must be careful where you throw that name around, and who you address with that name. ) |

| NaNoWriMo Day 9 |
[Nov. 9th, 2009|10:30 am] |
15,214/50,000 - This is a combination of a couple days/several sessions of work. I plan to write more by the time I get home from work, and my goal is to bring my word count up to 18,000 by midnight tonight so I can return to my regularly scheduled 2k words a day.
I must mention, my friend Bryan went into this relatively cold, not knowing anything about the plot. It took him to my last post to figure out what's going on, and once he knew it, suddenly everything else started making sense. That made me VERY HAPPY :D That means people who don't know anything about what's going on will have their big reveal be today.
So let us allow the confessions to pour out, shall we?
( Sounds rough... didn't think you'd be the one settling down to a normal life. ) |

| NaNoWriMo Day 6 |
[Nov. 7th, 2009|01:12 am] |
11,437/50,000 - A bit short for today, but a lot of other things consumed my day, like Shining Force II, and hunting for some Hare Hare Yukai. Oh, and work. Tonight was the first night shift I'd worked in literally two months. It completely wore me out. XD So anyway, I managed to get all this out before succumbing to sleep.
I swear to God, Irvine was NOT supposed to hang around this long! So again, I put up a language warning, though this isn't nearly as profane as yesterday's entry.
Also, PLOT PROGRESSES. The "Confession" part of my title is actually coming into play!
( Trust me, you would much rather see these mummy wraps than what's underneath. ) |

| NaNoWriMo Day 5 |
[Nov. 5th, 2009|08:43 pm] |
10,015/50,000 - I'm caught up again! Here's hoping it stays that way :D I must warn though, this particular post (and part of tomorrow's) will contain A LOT OF SWEARING. A. LOT. There just was no way around it with this particular character.
Ah well, it should be perfectly fine here. ^^ Apologies for kind of an abrupt ending; it's a nice place for me to continue tomorrow.
( And the mid afternoon rush faded as it always did to a crawl by three o'clock ) |

| NaNoWriMo Day 3 |
[Nov. 4th, 2009|12:46 am] |
I know it's technically day 4 according to my clock, but I did about half my writing for today at my uncle's funeral, and managed to scramble the other half out in the past forty five minutes since getting home. So apologies if it's not quite up to par with the other stuff I wrote. It was hard enough writing with that atmosphere, even more difficult when my story takes place mostly at Jane's work, and she's... well, not at work. I had to get her back there ASAP, and it took its sweet time.
Anyway, I'm at 5,642/50,000 now. Not quite 6,000 as I would have liked, but still better than the recommended goal.
( The rest of the evening passed without incident, and Jane woke the next morning to the sound of pattering rain against her dusty window. ) |

| More math class + Navi = more weird as hell poetry |
[Sep. 1st, 2009|10:14 pm] |
What happens when Tricia understands everything that's going on with sets and whatnot in a class she basically already took? She owns the class AND writes crazy Navi-inspired poetry some more! :D This one's a lot less subtle than the previous one and should not be read by the faint of heart (or maybe with a blood alcohol content of less than .05 :p )

| Bored in math class |
[Aug. 25th, 2009|11:22 pm] |
I realized I haven't written anything for over a year, and today was the first day of the math class I already took - which means I knew pretty much everything my professor was talking about. I was so far ahead of the rest of the class, I was throwing out answers three steps ahead of what my professor was talking about, while I was writing this strange pseudo-poem in Navi's perspective.

| Challenge #70 - Confession |
[Mar. 31st, 2008|12:53 am] |
Title: (untitled)
Word Count: 790
Rating: G
Characters: Cari, Lee
Warnings: (none)
Notes: D'awwwww. All of the character crack recently has had me wanting to write more of these silly challenge things. Problem is, character crack as of late hasn't involved the three sisters too much, which is a problem when the challenge is supposed to involve said sisters. But oh well. I went through old chat logs earlier and though I didn't find the actual log where the two hooked up, I definitely had a few vague memories of it and wished to immortalize it. Possibly changed it too using Creative Licenses, hahahaha. Anyway, I'm really tired, I bet none of that actually made sense, so I'm ending this here and giving you the damn story. XD
( It has been a wonderful evening…. ) |

| Challenge #47 - Family |
[Jan. 24th, 2008|10:21 pm] |
Title: (untitled)
Word Count: 1,358 (...whoops, I broke my "NO OVER 1,000 RULE" >>; )
Rating: G
Characters: Kay
Warnings: (none)
Notes: I also broke my "It has to involve one of the three sisters!" rule for this challenge, but technically it does, even if it's from Kay's perspective. Anyway, the grammar nazi in me is ready to kill itself 'cause of how many errors are in this piece. I'm not gonna go through and edit it though, 'cause it's through an 11-year-old's eyes. She's not gonna be the grammar nazi I was >>
( Today, we got a really hard assignment for English class. ) |

| Challenge #65 - Secret |
[Dec. 18th, 2007|11:29 am] |
Title: (untitled)
Word Count: 961
Rating: G
Characters: Navi, Kay
Warnings: Discussion about adolescent changes, though everything's implied.
Notes: Kay and Navi were destined to be friends eventually, though it took the latter to grow up to do so. ...crap, backstory time. Navi's the same age as Cari and Tamara with the physique of a 12-year-old. Kay naturally wanted to become friends. Navi's like "hell no, I want intellectual equals." Fast forward... um... a long time, and long story short someone finally created an adult body for her.
Anyway, now Kay's catching up. Laced with AWWWWWW. Yeah, I was bored last night.
( Psssst, hello? Are you in here? ) |

| Challenge #36 - Enemy (WIP - take 2) |
[Aug. 26th, 2007|10:11 pm] |
Title: (untitled)
Word Count: 2,432 so far
Rating: PG so far
Characters: Tamara, Zonah, Navi, Cari
Warnings: Very mild language so far
Notes: Sort of a rough draft/uber condensed version of Heroines. I wanted these all to be drabbles of less than 1,000 words, but this just isn't that, seeing as I just broke 2,000 earlier. Which is probably a good thing, as my goal after this is to not only be able to write more than just drabbles (i.e. short stories), but to write one that makes sense and is actually decent. This is officially halfway two-thirds done, as I still have three two and a half hugely important scenes to go. Critiques are highly appreciated.

| Challenge #13 - Death |
[Aug. 26th, 2007|12:20 am] |
Title: (untitled)
Word Count: 940
Rating: PG
Characters: Cari, Craig
Warnings: (none)
Notes: Emo Cari does not exist. But it's really interesting to see how other people deal with death. Apologies if Craig is OOC, but I highly doubt he is (I've known him for how long now?)
( No wonder you're so good with Kay.... ) |
