Round 61, Hour 16
Feb. 21st, 2015 10:00 amAnother hour has passed through the hourglass! Since we can't turn it the other way round -- well, we could try, but just imagine what a mess THAT would make. Instead, tell me all about your fabulous accomplishments! Also, help yourself to cookies.
Round 61, Hour 10
Feb. 21st, 2015 10:55 amGreetings all, awake or sleep,
I might have just dropped Fic Rush on the floor, but don't worry, it still looks good as new! No harm done :D
I have my trusty timer ready to go, I'm going to do the old 'ten minute sprint for pile of words' -trick to get my writing mojo back. It's such a bother to lose it, I must say.
How about your Saturday, how goes things?

Round 61, Hour 17
Feb. 21st, 2015 11:10 amIt's a shiny new hour! Complete with 60 pre-installed minutes, each topped up with 60 fully functional and anatomically correct seconds. They're all yours! What will you do with them?
Round 61, Hour 11
Feb. 21st, 2015 11:53 amIt is a new hour, decorated with shiny glitter!
It's rather cold and damp weather outside, you see, and nothing brightens the day like some glitter! Or what do you think? Tea and cookies might do the same, as well as a bit of writing... Smutty writing for me, as it happens.
I'll be around, ready to discuss numerous topics with you - anything at all you might like to bring up! Top ten breakfast items? Top twenty songs to write an action sequence to? Five best glitter colours? (electric blue, purple, acid green, gold, rainbow. Right? :D)

Round 61, Hour 19
Feb. 21st, 2015 12:02 pmGood morning, Krusty Krew!!
I apologize for my automated minions earlier and my inept ninja pirates, but all that is in the past (or is it in the future perfect? pluperfect?). For now, may we construct all of the words!

Round 61, Hour 18
Feb. 21st, 2015 12:31 pm*rushes in, gasping*
At last! I have eluded my pursuers and escaped my captors and returned to the Rush, albeit late!
Who am I kidding? I was here all along. I just got distracted.
But look! Over there! Pirates! Ninjas! Ninja pirates!!!

Round 61, Hour 12
Feb. 21st, 2015 12:52 pmHow goes your Saturday?
I have managed lunch, and now I'm enjoying a hot cup of apple & elderflower tea (delicious!). I'm also staring an empty file and a blinking cursor, I don't seem to have any luck luring back my missing writing mojo.
Anyone have some good tips how to get a story rolling? I got chocolate, that might help, do you think?
Come say hello in the comments!

Round 61, Hour 20
Feb. 21st, 2015 01:10 pmEverything seems to be going quite swimmingly! And as your resident mermaid, I do recommend swimming every now and then to find some deep-sea words, but that's neither here nor there.
Let me know if you need any water wingies!

Round 61, Hour 13
Feb. 21st, 2015 01:55 pmThe lucky hour 13! :D
I figured one helpful tip: close the tv! It was very distracting, the Saturday cooking show parade is too much excitement for this poor writer; all kinds of Masterchefs, Top Chefs, chefs going on adventures, fixing restaurants, eating meat and baking cakes. It's too thrilling! Peace and quiet, please!
Though, it could be worse. There could be the building shows marathon too...
But no, I must stay true to the spirit of Fic Rush, and focus on writing! Telly is closed.
What is going on your side of the screen? Come say hi in the comments!

Round 61, Hour 21
Feb. 21st, 2015 02:03 pmThere are some words happening around here, and I think I'm almost at a point where I can get some words on paper! But I should probably clean my apartment first to declutter. Now where did I put my CD player...
Is it time for words in your neck of the woods?

Round 61, Hour 14
Feb. 21st, 2015 02:51 pmShiny new hour for the Fic Rushers!
How goes the writing? I've managed to get a few meeker words together, it's not much but I'm going to be proud of them anyway! I've also managed to do some boring chores, the regular Saturday stuff. The weather haven't improved any, so another cup of tea might be in order.
Come along to the comments, and tell me how your day has been so far!

Round 61, Hour 22
Feb. 21st, 2015 03:00 pmWell, I've had a major breakthrough in my project and realized I was doing WAYYYY more than I needed to. I might actually get this diorama done for good!
Y'all seem to be finding words, however temporary. Keep up the good work and tell us more about your exploits!

Round 61, Hour 5
Feb. 21st, 2015 03:22 pmI don't know where the mod for this hour has disappeared too but you know what that means. It's time to play our favourite game... Usurpation!!
So how did your hour go? Did you write loads of words, only to stop now cause I want a comment? Or did you stare at your penguins as they danced in drunken circles? Drop a comment and let me know
Round 61, Hour 23
Feb. 21st, 2015 03:59 pmHullo Fic_Rushers! So many words flying around like leaves in the wind! I'm here hoping I can catch a few and ink 'em down.
How many have you caught?
How many have you caught?
Round 61, Hour 6
Feb. 21st, 2015 04:05 pmAnother hour has passed and still no Mandy. So tell me how your hour went? Was it good, bad or ugly? Did you watch lots of tv for research? Or just do normal research? Drop a comment and let me know.
Round 61, Hour 24
Feb. 21st, 2015 04:59 pmWe're lucky that words are not a finite resourse, because we're stackin' 'em up this weekend!
I've filled in a lot of the slow minutes of this past crazy week reading and getting back in touch with my love of literature. It is nice to have a book that you don't want to put down, can't wait to get back into, and when you finish, you feel a little sorry to close it that last time.
I got a shelf full of those, and I'm working my way through them again! Yay!
What is your go-to book when you want to reread a treasure?

Round 61, Hour 7
Feb. 21st, 2015 05:02 pmI'm all alone. There's no here beside me..... etc etc etc (why should I finish it if there's no here to read it :D)
So how did your hour go? Hope you got lots of words, or sleep, or whatever you were hoping for. Drop me a comment and let me know.

Round 61, Hour 25
Feb. 21st, 2015 06:01 pmDoes your Muse respond better to treats or threats? Mine has been vacationing for so long, I suspect that it's cheating on me, inspiring someone else who gives up the chocolate more easily...
Somone in the kitchen is rolling burritos... I can smell 'em!

Round 61, Hour 8
Feb. 21st, 2015 06:07 pmYet another hour has passed and I'm still here, waiting, wondering, writing, worrying... coming up with lots of w words :D
How'd your hour go?

Round 61, Hour 9
Feb. 21st, 2015 07:04 pmWell, sadly, this is my last hour for today :( However I will be back for my normal shift tomorrow :D
a_q is here to look after you, you're in good hands, so for one last time drop me a comment... tell me if you've found your muses :D
Round 61, Hour 26
Feb. 21st, 2015 07:05 pmThis is my last hour to tease and/or torment you while you're trying to write fic. I'm super-pleased with all the hard work and dedicated procrastination I've seen today (the latter mostly myself!). Time to gear up for the snow we're expecting later tonight. As per usual in Kansas, we expect anything from a trace to mini-ice age.
A great time to write, eh? Tell me!

Round 61, Hour 27
Feb. 21st, 2015 08:14 pmThis is an emergency back-up post... in case 'Beth is being unavoidably detained. So, pretend I posted something clever, like she would, and come have a cookie!
Round 61, Hour 28
Feb. 21st, 2015 10:00 pmIt is the Hour of Cookies. I have said so. Om nom nom.
Now, the important decision is up to you: what kind of cookies?

Round 61: Hour 29
Feb. 21st, 2015 11:01 pmHullo, hullo!! Sorry for missing out on my last scheduled posties.
lolmac released the ninja-pirates at the beginning of the Round and they got me. With rum. Oh, there was ninjaing and pirating and a touch of ninja-ey-pirating shenanigans. But it kept me away from doing my proper modding - and for that I apologize. *Looks contrite*
Still got a bit of a headache, which could be cured beautifully with more rum (and Words). Alas both seem to be eluding me. The words might yet come with vigorous applications of ibuprofen. But the rum...
*Sigh*
I'm hoping someone can tell me where the rum has gone.
And maybe leave your progress in the Wordage department. Tis good for what ails ya. :D
Big thanks to
isdon_isgood9 for the save last night! *Blows kisses!*
