Round 45, Hour 15

And thus, my last hour!



I've made it 1/6th of the way to my goal since I started modding, how about you?

is... is that who I think it is? Because if so, this is exactly what I needed to start my morning.

I awoke! For my next trick, I will assemble the skirt for my Halloween costume. Or eat breakfast. Yeahhh... that sounds good.

[lolmac]

Speaking from professional experience, I recommend eating breakfast first. *nods*

This advice mixed with that icon made me giggle.

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

It's Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi, if that's anything close to what you were thinking. Either way, it's a good way to start a morning!

Yay for breakfast and Halloween themed magic tricks xD

[eve11]

Either way, it's a good way to start a morning!

I agree! Hot damn, that's fabulous!

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

agreed! furthermore, Ian McKellen can do no wrong, so I squeed a little.

But 1/6th of 6K is still 1000 words! Well done! :D
And that's a dazzler gif!

Say, Halloween themed question: if characters wanted to insult a ghost before them, what kind of mockery would be good? 'I can see right through you' - that's all I got :D

[lolmac]

What kind of ghost is it? Where are they, and when, and what is the ghost doing?

[a-q.livejournal.com]

They are...Different Halloween creatures, and the ghost is trying to hit on another creatures date. I think the ghost is kinda suave and human-looking? I'm making this up as I go, so if anyone have good ideas for an insult to appearances, I can make it fit :)

[lolmac]

Hmmm. I'm better at making up jokes when I have more context . . . there's always 'transparent motives'. I take it that you need the insults so the non-ghost creature can try to get rid of the ghost in this way.

Calling a ghost 'Casper' is a really good insult.

Mocking character: "I see dead people." Mocker closes eyes, re-opens them, "Shit. You're still here?"

"Yo, go find a creepy kid who needs an imaginary friend."

"Haven't you got some rich dude whose sad, narrow life needs to be transformed or something?"

"Where's those meddling kids when you need them?"


Lame puns, possibly suitable if the characters are drunk:

"You don't have the ghost of a chance."

"We don't want any low spirits around here." (or poor spirits)

"Don't spirits belong at the bar?"

You are actually killing me with these!

[a-q.livejournal.com]

These are really good ones! It's like you have hackled ghosts before! :D Thanks!

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Sorry, all I can do is cackle madly at "I can see right through you" xD

I have eaten breakfast, and added a few words to the first sentence of my story (I don't think I will ever break the habit of editing-while-writing), and now I need to open up several reference tabs, take a deep breath, and write some Saint Potato-Head pastiche.

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

I wish you the best of luck with that! May you have many more sentences!

[eve11]

I got up late (for me, 10am), and have fed the cats, given one cat her eyedrops and made coffee. I'm sitting down to write now. I'm hoping to write about 4000 words this weekend (!) or whatever it takes to finish up part 10 of my WIP-o-Doom. I have the first half of it almost done, and it will be about 4000 words, so I'm thinking the second half will be about the same but it might be shorter. For reference, the first 4000 words I have on this part were started in November of last year, so... if I can pull off the second 4K in a weekend, it will be a pretty amazing feat.

I'm up! I haz coffee ready to drink! I've been doing mondo plot type thinking and I've typed it up before I forget how the story is supposed to go.

Beth has been a big help on research, so I'm ready to proceed with actual writing of words in the form of a new chapter.

*happy dance*

I have espresso, and maybe I can be productive now. Although I've been excessively distracted by looking at photos and clips of Sirs Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen carrying on, which is all Verity's fault!

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

I CONSIDER THAT TIME WELL SPENT AND REFUSE TO ACCEPT ANY BLAME FOR IT! xD
