So by my standards, yeah, I won.
Yours are the important ones, in this case at least, I think. So go you.
I'm writing again!
Congrats, Susan!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Whohoo, Am-Chau! Good on you!
And yay for us, too, who learned about the process. I'm pretty happy with the plot I ended up with. I think I can do something with it later. And I'll kind of be happy to discard the meme of mediocrity. It was good exercise, but I disliked the feeling of leaving something I knew lacked luster, for the sake of the count. Still, it was something I wouldn't have done otherwise, so I'm glad I did try.
I think I'll keep working on it, and then, of course, there's always next year. (Cubs fan much?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I looked at NaNoWriMo, and thought "which of my wee ideas could be a novel?"
None, was the answer.
However, the next question was "Well what could they be, then?"
And I'm working on that.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Wow, Am, go you!
I got about 15k words too, and a story that I like well enough to try and finish it. I'm shooting for 80k and hoping. So, overall, I feel like it was a success.

If I only had a brain...
Go Am-Chau! Yea!

Way to go, Am-Chau!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Am, with the rockage. MOST excellent.

Always Anti-fascist!

OK, a question. Not specifically writing related, but rather writer-related.
I need to send prezzies to my editor and her staff, my publicist, and my agent. Holiday stuff, but also an extra-special doodah for Jenn, the agent.
Everyone except the agent is taken care of; they're all slavish junkies for my ginger cake and they're each getting their own big pan of it.
The agent - to whom I need to send something truly wonderful, because it's also a thanks for the 2-book deal and making them lose the joint accounting clause - is tricky.
She's tiny (about 5 feet tall) and doesn't eat much in the way of sweets. In fact, say "chocolate" and she shudders, not pleasurably - she has romance writer clients and they all send her choc and she doesn't care for it. Ditto booze - no tolerance for the stuff. ANd sending her a book of any description would cause her to kill me with a long distance death ray.
I'm thinking something Buffyish. Action figure?
Help?

Action figure, or that book on Slayer Slang? Or the Firefly DVDs, if you're feeling generous?
