Had a lovely walk with Vonnegut (the dog), but now is finally the hour of writing! Y'all seem to have accomplished much on this front last hour. May your words cooperate even more this hour!
Well, back up a bit. I had a perfectly lovely hiking stick, but I lost it. Then I bought another one, but I may have cast it upon the floor in a dramatic fashion after the election and it may have slightly exploded. ;P But the top carved handle part and the rubber foot were fine, it's just the middle stick part that exploded, and that was a plain ol' hardware-store wooden dowel and I know from dowels. So I went to the hardware megastore, and I bought a stick of the right dimensions and I had them cut it to size, because I may have wasted four years of my life on the Remodel of Doom but by golly I know what one can and cannot get done at hardware stores. ;S
So now I'm sitting on my bed with a Swiss Army knife, attempting to drill a hole in the top of this stick without actually owning a drill. It's going slightly better than you'd expect, because due to the trajectory I took into fandom (many thanks forever lolmac :D), I also know exactly what can and cannot be done with a Swiss Army knife. ^_^
Oh, it's always worth counting the words; and giving up is not a good option. Even if you don't reach your goal, you did write. A word is a word is a word ;)
I wrote 1225 words in the last hour and, OMG, am on my final segment! It is possible that this fic might have an ending! *hastens back to see if I can finish it before dinner*
If I do, my plans are dinner and collapsing. Maybe I might make an icon later. :-)

Date: 2016-11-12 06:36 pm (UTC)Just wrote a quick-fic at 'Get your words out', for the given prompts:
What can you write about a shawl, a boat, and painting?
202 words :)
Sometimes I can't believe what I'm doing to get some words written.

Next year, somebody remind me that Yuletide fic needs to be damn sight shorter than this!
