I did it!

[cornerofmadness]

I've written near 5K in the last three days which isn't that much in Nano terms but more than I've written in nearly a year. My muscles ache because I've been on the couch in front of Harry Potter and The Simpson marathons writing my fingers bloody. I did however finish my Science Fiction story (that desperately needs a title. I haven't even considered it yet). I also finished my third, and should be final edit of Corpse Powder.

I haven't cleaned. The house is a wreck. I haven't graded things (sorry students). I haven't worked on classes or figured out Socrative yet. Oops. I haven't reviewed all the things. But I got my writing done.

And thank you to evil_little_dog for doing a quick beta in spite of being so busy. Much appreciated. I owe you.

I had a strange dream. I was in the woods near my house (though it was not any place I actually know) and there were huge ripe blackberries and I wanted to eat them and I got hit by a swarm of bees. I tried to run and even though I knew it was an unnatural swarm, I thought I could escape. I did and then I went back into the same area after the same blackberries and got attacked again. Then I dreamt I was somewhere with Mom and she was asking for homemade ginger ale from someone. She kept whining it didn't have enough vinegar in it and we kept saying there is no vinegar in ginger ale. We left then again went right back into that same dream.

Mom and Dad are leaving for their 3 week northwestern tour and Mom is furious. They went to Grandma's to get something and even though the house isn't technically sold yet (the bank has yet to do its evaulation etc) the realtor locked it off. We had a back door key. There must be some miscommunication but the realtor knows the reason we pushed the new people's move in date was because we need to get all the stuff out of the house (if you saw the pictures all the staging stuff is OURS) Kind of fucking hard to move it out if they change the damn locks. Lucky Uncle will have to call them and Mom admits that might be better as he's more laid back.

And shockingly Dad understands me sometimes. We were talking about how I could get more of my loans paid off and I could make more money if I taught middle or high school and he replied yes but what good will loans being paid off do you in jail after you murder a teenager. Fair point.


Check this out Upcoming SF and fantasy TV & movie adaptations some look exciting, some are why the hell are we doing this and others I literally have NO idea what they are and that means a reading binge.

Congrats on getting so much writing done lately.

Congrats on finishing your fic!! That's awesoem!! Your muse sounds like they were urging you on BIG TIME!! :D

That's a scary dream!!

I can't believe they locked you out of your own property!! I believe it's still yours until everything goes through & you get the check. What if you were still living there & had to stay until a certain date, cuz the peeps who used to own your new home haven't moved out yet. XD

I'm glad you & Dad aren't at odds with each other & that he does understand you. As someone who sees middle schoolers at their hungry worst, I think you do it, without murdering one. ;p High schoolers... that can be hard. ^^;

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Excellent writing!

Okay, the realtor sounds like a flake...

Yeah, I could imagine you with middle schoolers and...ummmm. I agree with Dad.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm happy with the writing!

I could see it if this was a foreclosure and they don't want us in there busting it up but yeah.

Yeah I agree with Dad too

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You should be happy with the writing!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Thanks. My muse is a bitch who loves to work under pressure

My dreams often are

Yeah we're not sure what happened with the locks.

You know I thought I would hate the high schoolers more but when I did the student teaching the middle schoolers were the most miserable

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

You're welcoem! Sounds like it! XD

Yeah...

That is weird. I hope it's all straightened out now.

Yeah? I would have thought it was the other way around. XD

[siphraniax3.livejournal.com]

Writing makes everything better.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

writing sure does

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. Haven't heard from Lucky Uncle and Mom is somewhere in Illinois

I would have thought that too but 13-14 yos are pains in the ass.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I turned the writing in

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

I hope it all worked out alright.

Aaah... 8th graders... Some of them do think the sun shines out their behind. ;p Some are really nice. Last year's crop was a dream; this year's hopefully won't be a nightmare. XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'll let you know

The teacher I was watching was Ex-Marines, Ex-cop, terrifying and they didn't respect him, listen to him and were so full of themselves.

good luck to you. I'm not too sure about my upper level A&P class, they seem bored or disinterested.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Okay. :D

WOW! That's sooo not good. Most of them are thankfully good kids. :D At least the ones I've dealt with.

Thanks! Really? XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's good about your kids

yeah well ti could be that it's an afternoon class and they're wiped or tht we're doing hte basic intro material

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Yeah, thanks!

It could be. Hopefully after a few more classes they'll perk up. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

here's hoping

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Yeah!

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Even Better.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

wish they'd have an automatic thing that tells you they got it

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yes, that would be quite nice.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and it's not that hard to do!

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

No, not at all!
