reminds me of the bench near the ...oh what are the hairy black & white monkeys called?.. at the Lincoln Park Zoo where we used to sit and watch people get peed on.
Inara: We thought we lost you. Mal: Well, I've been right here.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
OK - not on topic, because as Sail says "fun to break the rules". It is a drabble though: exactly 100 words (not counting the title). ==============================
Microsoft Driving Interface
Why accept a rental with a Microsoft Driving Interface? Low sales resistance, maybe?
But there I was stuck on the freeway shoulder, one foot on the brake, clicking past reverse gear after reverse gear. They filled the "recently used gears list", and I was NOT about to use the scroll bar. That was how I'd accidentally opened the advanced menu and shifted to "234th Reverse" in the first place.
But at last a forward gear came on to my list of choices - the HANOB. I remembered what HANOB stood for only after clicking it - "High Acceleration No Brakes".

Because books.
It's quiet in here. ::blows dust off the library tables::
Anyone writing anything new? Anyone making writing resolutions for the new year? Anyone excited about a new project, or an old one?
Bueller?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Uh, yeah. My resolution is to *remember* that I took the drabble topics back from Lee.
D'oh.
I'll just wait until Monday, since it's more or less the end of the week now, and start fresh with a new topic. Maybe I'll even write it on my calendar.
Again, d'oh, and a thousand apologies.

No apologies needed! It was Christmas, babe. A holiday.
For some reason -- probably because I'm procrastinating and feeling very unhappy with the book I'm working on -- I'm just jonesing for some good writing discussion.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Sadly, my resolution is the same as last year's--to finish my new play.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've started a newish project. Almost through the first chapter. And I guess I've got something of a resolution - 250 words a day, on average. It doesn't sound like much, but if I try for more than that I'll get discouraged the first dry day and fall too far behind. Been doing it a week or two, and it's been feeling about right.
This is the first I've told anyone about it.

I'm supposed to be writing a pilot. I'm still trying to figure out what the hell I'm going to write.

Do they give you any kind of guidelines or just tell you "Write something"?

It's supposed to be used as a sample so I can write whatever I want. So, ideally, it should be something that reflects who I am as a writer. I'm still trying to figure out what that is.
Though Allyson said, "You like fashion...you like grisly murder." I should find a way to make those two work together.
