I wrote 369 words for day 8. XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yay

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm not writing a lot, but at least I've got something written each day. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

You're doing pretty good (better than me!)

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Thanks! You had a busy couple of days there, with tons of stuff to do! It's hard to write when life is busy. You'll catch up in no time. :D If It helps, I have a minimum of 100 words to post for "how much on day X" and I find it helps get me writing. I often find I'm way past 100 words, but if that's all I do, then I consider it something & feel accomplished. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and you are accomplishing stuff.

as for me, yes it's been busy but also I DO waste time, too much of it.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Oh, I waste time too, which is why I set a minimum goal of 100 words. And this is good "training" for next month, even if my word counts are low. I may not be doing Nano, but 2 friends of mine are hosting next month at allbingo, and I plan on going for another blackout. I'm hosting in December with one of those friends & I'm aiming for another blackout. So 50 potential fics in 2 months won't bad and that's not including anything I happen to write for Madrona during those months. *has goals & knows how to waste time too*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Oh man I forgot all bingo. I should look at that next month and in december (and use it for scenes instead of whole stories or december could also be fandom_stocking stuff.

well if you do do nano you'll have me for company.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

I tend to forget it too, unless my friends are hosting. This month is part 2 of a 2 month long world building one. I think. XD It wasn't something I could work with so I skipped it. November will somewhat Halloweenie but more autumnish, as they had planned it for October, but it didn't work out. XD December we're doing something with Music. So hopefully it'll be something you can work with.

Thanks! I can bingo with you while you Nano if you'd like. Like I said, I want to do a blackout, so I'll be writing most of the month. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I would have enjoyed the world building. oh well. that'll teach me to forget.

I'll see if I can use the nano month prompts

good luck

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Last I looked it's still October, so why not head over there to see what the card is or make one of your own. :D

I hope you can. Good luck! :D

Thanks! :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to edit this month (Blood Red) other than my SPook Me stuff but thanks

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

You're welcoem. You could always grab a card to work on in the future, as I knwo your editing & other writing are more important. It's just a suggestion as you seemed upset over missing it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

true. I could do that and world building IS good for me

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*nods* They also keep a list of prompts, so if you need a prompt or two, that's a good place to go look. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Oh right, I had forgotten that

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

It happens. XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

With me it happens a lot. Is getting old.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Awe... but we're getting old. It doesn't matter if you're a day old or 100 years old, each day you get older. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

so true but today I feel like i'm 100

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Awe... *huggles* I hope tomorrow you feel like 10! :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

If I could remove this left hand, I probably could feel that young.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Awe... *huggles* Did you hurt it?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

really bad tendonitis

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

I feel your pain! Last night the tendonitis in my Achilles tendon was so bad it was hard to sleep & I had to get up & hobble downstairs for some Advil. Nothing you do can ease it. Feel better! *huggles*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Tendonitis is such a bitch. I can't even take NSAIDs so there isn't much relief for me

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

It sooo IS!! OUCH! I'm sorry to hear that. Try elevating your wrist. That usually helps me. I really don't like to medicate myself, unless I absolutely have to. It can't hurt (no pun intended XD).

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. What I need to do is rest it (ha) and last night I jammed it under a pillow to keep it flat.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

You're welcoem. Rest is always good. That's why I feel better on the weekends when I can sit, instead during the week when I'm on my feet all day at work. What about one of those splint/braces? I got one when I had sprained my wrist. It keeps it straight so it can heal.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah I need a splint. If it doesn't calm down I'll go to the urgent care and get a brace.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*nods* There you go. Good luck & feel better! <3

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

You're welcoem.

[bay115.livejournal.com]

Got a bit trouble how I should start my next scene, but did a few paragraphs at least.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's good. If you need a sounding board you can ask me (that often helps me as you've seen in my blog in the past few days crowd souring my own plot problems). Granted I probably don't know the game but I might still have ideas.

[bay115.livejournal.com]

I think I'm fine. I know what I want the next scene to be, it's just more like, "words how you do them" and needing to look back at my notes a bit, lol. I appreciate the offer though and will keep that in mind.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

sounds good.

[auroracloud.livejournal.com]

Some more on the story, maybe 600-700 words.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

excellent
