Round 61: Hour 45

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Alas (and alack), I have come to my final Hour of Modding for this Round (unless there is a giant power-struggle of Usurpation that I stand a 50/50 of winning). But for the sake of avoiding maths, brain-strain and distractions, we will say it is my last Hour for this Round.

At least there is coffee, yes?

I have managed (astonishingly) 301 Words of a fiction before I stalled out like an old Ford truck (that is to say: abruptly), but I am pleased that I have accomplished these Words, however minimal they may be. Ironically enough, I am one word over the Challenge minimum and could now post it - but it is bare bones as of yet and needs at least another 1000 before I am done. Which may or may not happen before Rush is over, as I still have plenty of this 'Thick of It' fiction to distract myself with (and it is nothing but good bits from end to end).

Do me proud on this last Hour of mine! Fic like you have never ficced before! And share your accomplishments so I can squee over you and spoil you utterly with mounds of cookies! There will be triple bonus points for Research and Outlines this Hour as well - so everyone will win!

Hello! I am home, and catching up with LJ. It looks like I'm next up to mod?

Hello, hello!! We have missed thy Face, lovely one! So glad to see you!!

I spent most of the day yesterday doing just that. I think I'm all caught up (aside from some fic-memes I have yet to complete), which was quite a feat! I wish you luck in your Run Through the Listy!

You are indeed! The floor is yours next Hour until the end of Round. I tried to leave everything neat and tidied, but my Squee and Foaminess (Joyous kind) does have a tendency to get everywhere sooo...

I will be sure to mop up before exiting. *Grins* See you soon!

Mop away, but be sure to leave me some Squee -- yours is the best!

*Laughs* I always have oodles left! I shall leave it in the cupboard with the coffee, rum and cookies. ;D And thank you for the lovely compliment! Everyone should have Squee methinks.

Research has been accomplished! Now time for a shower and some more tidying :)

congrats on words! *hug*

YAY triple points and bonus frosting are yours! May your shower be hot, your tidiness be quick and your time to relax lengthy and relaxing.

Thank you! Honestly, I had surprised myself. My Musie and I have been in this slow death-spiral for a couple of months. Hoping the reduction of stress (soon *fingers crossed*), will bring Her back to me. So 301 words..yeah. that's something to celebrate!

*SQUISHES*

*wavees pom-poms* Hurray!

They do bring inspiration in the form of Happiness, I must say! *Beams* Enjoy, enjoy!

Ahhh, a good way to be this day! We are suffering stupid cold and leftover snow-melty shenanigans over here, so I envy your beach-break with a wistful smile and a touch of daydreaminess. No beach near here, but one can always contemplate one, yes?

And color me further jealous over your awesome accomplishment here!! you are made of Win and Awesome. And your beach-break can now be considered 'outlining/meditation' and will be awarded with frosting and triple bonus points!!

Ahhh, drabbles...they can never just...BE DRABBLES can they?

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Aww!! You are a dear! Thank you!

Mine never seem to just...BEHAVE and be SMALL. Ye gods. *CACKLES* Ahhh, the problems that are a Writer's and the pain only other Writers can understand. :D

You are very kind for saying so. I've been having such fun doling out the frosting though, I almost out! I'll make a fresh batch when the Hour is officially over and leave some for dbskyler and take a big whopping heap for myself. For Reasons only, you know.

They always say a little dab will do 'er. But I can never stop at a little dab, so I cannot ascertain the truth of that saying. *Laughs*

I got through one more page of edits/re-writes last hour, as prophesied. I'm now half-way through Page 17 (of 72)... And Husband is ensconsed at his computer, doing his own writing. Onwards and upwards!

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

YAY!! You have done much, m'dear - and cookies, frosting and triple points are yours to claim!!

Hopefully hubby is purr-happy at this point as he gets his Words out as well. Can't think of a cozier setting, really!

*Happy!Squishes!*

Well, we met doing NaNoWriMo, so we often write at the same time (though not together, our styles are *very* different). He's a Professional Writer (for a big video game company) so he only rarely finds the time to work on his own original stuff.

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

That is so, so awesome on SO many levels!! Wow!! And extend my jealousies to hubby! He is working my dream-job! Whoot!!

*HUGS*
