Weekly Writing Check-In: TK Struck Again

October 9, 2011
| No Comments
| Categories: Editing, Humor, Pikachu, Technology, weekly writing check-in

Pikachu is easily impressed, even by fallible machinery. I have a purple ASUS EEE PC 900 that I got three years ago this month to use when I studied abroad in Japan during college…see, my normal laptop at the time was a large 17in desktop replacement and that wasn’t very good for hauling around. (That…

lol spoilers tbh. Hey guys, it’s October. October is a great month for three super solid reasons. 1) My birthday is in October. Actually this should be all you need to know about October to know that it’s fabulous. 2) It’s full-on fall now. Hot weather is LOL BAI and blessed coolness all day comes…

Dead @ “militarily” Quiet week from me, thanks to yet another six-day day-job work week aaaaand lots and lots of gaming! Teehee~. Oh well, girl’s gotta do what she’s gotta do to stay out of a nervous breakdown, right? Of course, there was editing. A lot of editing. Every night editing! But nothing exciting, just…

Weekly Writing Check-In: “Hey, got some hair here. Look familiar?”

This only makes sense to one other person. Dang, is it already that time of the week again? Actually, last week didn’t go by that fast, but somehow I’m still surprised it’s Sunday night again. I actually got some stuff done again this week! On enough projects that it’s time to organize them under their…

What I see when I edit. If you follow me on Twitter you’ve probably noticed that every night (er, my time) I’ve been re-watching Sailor Moon Super and live-commentating every episode I feel like watching. Well, imagine my ~surprise~ when last night we got an episode where the victim was an author and the monster-of-the-day…

Weekly Writing Check-In – Pfffft

September 11, 2011

LOL LOOK HOW OLD THAT LAPTOP IS THO. Oh, oh I was supposed to be writing/editing this week? Oops. It was a crappy week. A very crappy week, especially at my real life job (and that’s all I’ll say about that.) Between that and the utter mental exhaustion, I’m lucky that I managed to crank…

indeed. My to-do list for editing this manuscript just keeps getting longer and longer. On one hand that’s a great thing, because it means I’m recognizing more and more what I need to check/work on to make sure it’s the best it can be. On the other? Oh my God just make it END already!…

Yes, I’ve decided to start making ~weekly writing check ins~, to update the world on the current progress of my projects. If nothing else, it forces me to post every week even if I can’t think of any other appropriate topic to discuss. *ahem* That said, it’s actually been a pretty productive month! Let’s see,…

But where do I plug in my laptop. Although my lack of proper internetz in my apartment for the next month or so have stinted my ability to, you know, blog about writing and stuff, it’s done a few wonders for that whole…writing thing. This is my first official check-in for Camp, and I can…

Stop. Mocking. Me. Okay, so I’m not really going camping. That would be silly. We all know Hildred doesn’t go outside without whining a whole lot about it. Besides, camping sucks. There’s like…bugs. And no electricity. And it’s during those grossly hot months.  And you’re expected to squat and pee. NO THANK YOU.  Instead I’ll…
