Round 40, Hour 1

[lolmac]

Welcome to Round 40!

Park your Type Forty and join us behind our fortifications!  Have you been wandering in the desert for forty days?  Then fortify yourself with something from the buffet (or the bar).  Relax near the pianoforte.  Build a pillow fort!  Spin Fortune's wheel and see what you get!  Catch forty winks, and if it doesn't rain for forty days and forty nights, maybe there'll be time to get some writing done!

Round 40, Hour 4

Round 40! Can you believe it!? (I can't!)

How is everyone doing at the end of this very crazy week?

Are we ready to settle in and contemplate writing some words, or even actually write some words, or maybe even procrastinate on writing some words? (I'm currently procrastinating by rewatching Arrested Development and calling it research).

Let us know how it's going?

Round 40, Hour 2

Welcome to Hour 2!  Or possibly Round 41, Hour negative 47.

How's it going?  I am about to wrangle some dinner, and then see how much trouble Daniel can get into before bedtime.

Round 40, Hour 3

[lolmac]

This is my last post for the evening, as I yield the Modly Baton to Welfy.

The 40th anniversary is supposedly the Ruby anniversary.  In keeping with this, feel free to either:

- Write about something red (rubies!  Chinese luck money!  blood!  fire trucks!)
- Wear something red (ruby slippers!  lipstick!  Servalan's sparkly Gambit dress!)
- Eat something red (apples!  cherries!  red vines!)
- Drink something red (cabernet!  pomegranate juice!  port!)

Or just write something that will be read later on.

Round 40, Hour 5

Sounds like sleepy is the name of the game this past hour, which is totally understandable. I keep blinking and getting confused about what I was doing just moments ago.

Like just now!

So, I have finished procrastinating with Arrested Development for the evening and moved onto considering actually putting some words down. How about all of you?

Give us a shout out if you're awake and fic-rushing (whether that be writing or otherwise)!

Round 40, Hour 6

Some words have made their way onto my page. Mostly world-building thoughts, but at least they are in the written form. How is it going everyone? I've heard we've had many people starting and finishing meals, awakening and going to sleep, pondering their wips and story thoughts. All excellent ways to use fic-rush.

I will stay awake for as long as possible, but as I'm passing on the Modly Baton to the wonderful Don, I may perhaps fall asleep partway through the hour. In any case, I wish all of you luck! Chime in to let us know how it's going!
