Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

smonster can hire me on a per-call basis for 'zillas.

"Hi, this is Erin, Super S's counsel (hey, like Polonius; if they think "lawyer" that's their bad.) I hear you have an issue with the service, and are refusing payment unlawfully.

I have a copy of the contract, a work log and photos. Uh huh. Uh huh. That's nice. What a banal usage of invective. The full amount is due tomorrow — I've been called that name before, hon. You still owe the money. Ever hear of small claims court? It's a really fun place to be -- for me. Would YOU like it? OK, then! Yep, the address to send the payment is..."

Sean, you have my complete sympathies. I have been in that state very, very often. Would using Written:Kitten! help for motivation?

Although I'm a Scrivener fanatic

I've become hooked on Scrivener! My project is all organized and stuff!

Hi. I'm procrastinating. I should be recording the podcast/radio show thing that was supposed to have been done, oh, last week. I feel weird admitting this, but I think I have stage fright. ::hangs head in shame

Interesting, le n. Although it won't help with the TV, or my lack of good workstation. I need to find a better place to write. Not having a car of any kind really doesn't help with this.

Compassionately intolerant

Seriously. Annoying.

However, we really are in the wrong in terms of making a super-dumb mistake in taking the gig. It was to repair the cylinder of an ancient gate lock. We fixed that, then the bolt spring broke.

We originally suggested the lock be replaced. The owner said no. We should have walked away.

It's my job to communicate with people in such a way that they do what we want and don't badmouth us to the neighbors. I just wish we didn't make such blatant errors that I then have to smooth over. ERgh.

What on earth is that?

Written? Kitten! Every "x" amount of words you input, you get a new kitten picture. It's silly, but sometimes it does get me to keep writing when I hate everything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Where's Written? Hottie! I could do with that. I mean, I have nothing to write, but I could start.

I still thinking semi-seriously of opening a Writing Dominatrix Muse service.

"Hands on the keyboard! SNAP! Don't edit -- just type, dammit. Oh, you like that, do you? Harder! Faster! Less adverbs! DO IT!"

I keep eyeballing Scrivener. Hmm.

bonny, bitching at people is pretty easy. Tact is (just not saying true stuff) hard.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Written?Kitten! is open-source; should be a simple enough matter to throw in some other photo feed...
