Quick post!

[candyland]

Okay, just a quickie post before I gots to get ready for work.

I'm kind of excited about fic_off because I'm hoping it'll give me the boost I need to get some writing done this month. My goals are to finish The New World (CCS fic that I started, oh, four years ago?), and update both Song of the Wind (MKR) and What You Wish For (DC) with five thousand words each. Will I make it? ...I have no idea. I tend to set rather lofty goals for myself, and then wind up falling on my face somewhere along the line. Oh well--we'll give it a go. FOR GREAT JUSTICE!! *victory pose*

I GOT TO SEE RYANN AGAIN YAYS!! :D :D :D We watched Hot Shots, Alice in Wonderland, and The Great Mouse Detective...while I played my DS and he played his laptop ^^;; Yay for being social! And we also had hot cocoa with butterscotch-flavored Schnapps--I don't like butterscotch, but oh LORDY was that good...and then triple-chocolate cake. Life was pretty damn sweet.

And finally, Little Sister is back on campus. Translation? I PWNS THE INTERWEBS!! *bricked* ...I mean, I won't have to fight for the computer in the evenings anymore! *raises glass* Here's to late-night chat sessions and ignoring Dad when he tells me to go to bed, yesh! :D :D :D

I look forward to finding out when you're free to do stuff (trans: go to Des Moines)! Go get 'em, Candy!

And hooray for fic_off, 'cuz it might actually get me off my butt and finishing Communications or something!

Well...if I know when, say, a certain someone is going to be in Des Moines, I could always request a day off work to make the trip. It's a part-time job, after all... *halos*

Considering that I got an AIM today remarking that someone hated me for the cliffhanger on the last chapter I posted of The New World, I think I'd better just get the damn thing done...and I also want to update Song of the Wind and What You Wish For. Because I'm a sadist like that :D

Ooh, good luck on fic_off

It's an awesome idea for a community. I did consider signing up, but chickened out in the end. What can I say? I didn't want to commit myself to trying to finish a fic by the end of the month and then fail miserably :p

Thanks!

I have no idea if I'll succeed, but I figure nothing ventured, nothing gained. And who knows? This might be the motivation I need to get off my butt and finish/update a couple of these stories :D

Oh, and congrats on finishing that challenge!
