The problem with most of my author friends doing nano

[cornerofmadness]

I don't feel comfortable asking anyone to pause and read chunks of my crap for ego boosting. Not that it's strictly necessary and not that I can't put some up. Ah well

Work was worky. no news on that front

and since right now my life is nano and work, I feel boring.

I don't have anything new on my big bang. that worries me. Got my artists tonight. I'm very excited to see who they are.

snippet of the day - Sverre didn't like to admit that make sense. He was glad when the train arrived. To his surprise the car that Drake led them to was private and more luxurious than anything he had ever seen even before the war. Eight roomy chairs, well padded, were grouped so two people could face each other on either side of the car.

The rosy velvet fabric was broken into flower shaped islands by creamy embroidery and the whole chair seemed to wrap him in welcoming arms when he settled into it. He rested his scarred shoulder against the window as Eetu sat next to him. The wood paneling in the car was a deep walnut or some other sort of dark wood, gleaming as the sunlight hit it. Frosted glass and brass lights ringed around the room. Sverre sank as deeply into the chair then cast about to see Drake across the aisle with the goddess, the princess and his mousy underling.

Bleh, my life is pretty much FMA Big Bang/NaNo and work too. And oh, chores. x_x

I got my artists too for Big Bang, one of them I worked with before. XD The two others I'm excited to get to know them too.

There is a life beyond work, writing, work, writing, writing, work, taking care of dogs, driving Mom, writing, work and writing?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

not that i've noticed

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

chores? I'm ignoring them until it becomes a health hazard

cool. I know my two (though one more as an author so this will be new)

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Mm, taking care of dogs/cats?

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

At least you bother to post once in a while. I haven't even done that much.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well there is that. I wasn't even sure what you were doing until I asked

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

cats are generally slightly easier to care for. If i could teach them how to open the food bin i wouldn't have to do much of anything (and they'd both weigh a ton)

When I have time to sit down to the computer, I'm trying to write; I haven't even been following Twitter. I managed to catch up on at least reading my f-list.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I haven't either since I'm doing all of this on that tiny-assed netbook screen which makes reading online unpleasurable

My mom insisted the place has to be clean often, so I can't avoid that, lol. Work and FMA Big Bang/NaNo still takes up most of my time this month, though.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

my mom insists too but luckily she's 250 miles away

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Slightly easier, yes, because you don't need to let them outside, but then you have to clean a litter box. :D

The dogs are sure I'm not feeding them enough.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's usually quicker than taking a dog for its potty walk

oh i have no doubt.

on the whole dogs are less evil than cats

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Way stinkier, though.

They're telling me it's time to eat NOW, if I'd feed them.

Depending on the dogs. I met some really cute ones today, a Cairn terrier, with a rescued Shih Tzu, an American Spitz, and a mini-dachshund. They were all very friendly and wanted attention (which shocked me about the Shih Tzu).

not if i have to pick poo up in a plastic bag

neat

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, maybe point. :D
