urgency, anyone?

I seem to have not instilled much sense of urgency in my little pumpkin head regarding getting this book done by the end of the month. This is in large part, I expect, because the end of the month is an artificial deadline, although it would certainly make the *next* deadline easier. Oh well. 1500 words today. It’ll do. (The other problem is this chapter has a lot of description in it, which is hard, so I’m not exactly approaching it with enthusiasm. Just gotta keep chugging through it. Sigh.)…

brief note

Just a brief note to say I’m alive. I need to re-instigate the “no internet computer until the words are done” rule, it seems, as I’ve been dorking around online a great deal and not doing any work at all. Or not much, anyway. Chapter 20 is finally done and I think I have about 12 more, and at this point I need to write 2 a day in order to finish by the end of the month. Not impossible (or even all that difficult, if I just bleeding well…

Bah.

Bah. I don’t like Jess better after all. He wouldn’t go to the winter carnival with Rory. I can’t prefer anybody who won’t go have fun at a corny town festival.

I can’t believe they’ve made it halfway through third season and Luke & Lorelai haven’t had a date. This is impressive, in terms of stretching out sexual tension and romances on tv.…

A couple weeks ago while reading logs from RP that and I did. *looks vaguely sheepish* 4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Sometimes. 5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Turkey. 6. KIDS? Nope. 7. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Probably, unless I was the sort of person who didn’t like people like me.…

*beam*

So, Superman gushing aside, I’ve had an absolutely terrific week. We had friends come to visit: my high school photography teacher and his wife. I hadn’t seen them in 15, maybe 16 years, since high school, basically, but we’ve kept in touch on and off, mostly in the last few years through email, and they decided to come visit Ireland! They’d been up at Mom & Dad’s for a few days, then came down to Cobh on Sunday and hung out for a while. I’d had great plans–I’d been going…
