Lorne ,'Why We Fight'
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
I don't think it's cheating at all. I mean, yeah, the idea is that you write a novel from scratch, but phooey to that, I say.
When I did it in '04, I already had like 20K on LUCKY THIRTEEN and added another 65K during NaNo. So I neither started nor finished it, but I did do a big, horkin' chunk of it and met the 50K goal, so I considered myself a winner.
Hmmmm.
The hush drabble is now closed.
The new prompt is machinery.
Oh, no, is it NaNo time again? I usually try, but fail pretty miserably. Only this year, I won't be traveling for the holiday, so maybe...
Glutton for punishment.
I am going to go completely insane waiting for Agent Kate to come back with a verdict on whether Sam is saleable.
is it NaNo time again?
I need more time to decide! I've tried twice and never finished.
OK, when did they stop giving kids a hard time about being left-handed? Although my character in question is well over 60...he probably fits right in to that demo, right? Laga, cheer up...maybe it's like other things and doesn't get good till the third time. (/Everything I know I Learned From Detective Munch)
I am 52 and in Milwaukee Elementary schools they gave me a hard time. Even tried to get me to sit on my left hand so I would use my right. However, that only lasted until 3rd grade and even then it was only the older teachers who cared.
My dad was a lefty trained to be a righty. He would be about 70 if he were still alive. I, on the other hand, am a lefty too and it was always accepted.
My left-handed sister is Scrappy's age and she was given a hard time. They tied my grandmother's left hand behind her to make her write right handed. It made her stutter, which is pretty common. That left-handed gene must be pretty powerful. Most of my mother's family is left handed. As is true of so many things with my family, as a righty I'm the odd man out.
