Hi/Bye.

I just noticed that about 20 minutes ago, gmail decided replies from here are spam and stopped updating my inbox with them. So if I don't reply to something, that's why.

I think you can tell gmail it's being an idiot?

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

I think it caught on after I clicked the "not spam" button for four emails. There should be a whitelist feature somewhere that I could put LJ on, but I've never bothered looking before.

[pitry.livejournal.com]

Well, hopefully, "not spam" should do it. G'luck!

I had the same problem with yahoo mail. I took one of the messages and added the "sender" (LJ) to my address book, and that took care of the problem.

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

I've added a filter for it now.

I feel so accomplished. 1000 more words or so. Most of them would probably be lost as soon as I get to editing, but it still feels like an accomplishment, especially as previous to this week, I've had the same 2500 words since March or so.

My goal for this hour is to stay up another 15 minutes, see the gmail Tea House theme ghosts of 3:14, and go to sleep :)

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

That is an accomplishment!

Goodnight.

[pitry.livejournal.com]

Ooh thankee. I havee seen the 3:14 creatures and can now happily sleep. Happy writing!

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Goodnight! And congratulations on your 1000 words!!!!!!!!!

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

My goals for this hour: a) Open up the file that contains my WIP. b) Look at it.

Further goals may or may not occur to me after that.

[lolmac]

That's an excellent starting goal. I think I'll adopt the same approach to mine. But not tonight.

I'm making cookies & espresso, then I'll get started (I got home from work late!).

What, me procrastinate?

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

I am jealous of your much tastier means of procrastination.

I have *plans* for my fic this weekend:

1) Get 200 words or more written for a gigantic fic that has been a WIP for so long it doesn't bear thinking about.

2) Outline another fic, presumably shorter (although I don't know, because the more I think about it the more I find myself thinking, "but what would he say?" "why would he do that?" "what reason can there be for..." etc). I have a feeling it could be a long long one too, if the muse takes me there - which it just might.

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Welcome aboard!

Those sound like good goals.

Most of us have at least one ancient WIP like that.

[ficticons.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks!

I hope the first one's more realistic than what I set last weekend. "Oh, I have a long break, let me add a few thousand words to my fic!". At the end of the weekend, how many words have I got? 72. Or something like that. *facepalm*

The second one is turning out to be a plot bunny that won't let go. I may have an easier time with it....

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

I have definitely never had a weekend like that. Ever. Not once.

You're probably right about the plot bunny. Fic that won't let you go is a lot easier to finish than fic you feel you ought to work on.
