Round 70, Hour 44

[jmathieson-fic.livejournal.com]

Hello!

How goes it?

Here there is frantic gift-buying and other holiday preparations, as well as frantic wording to try to finish gift-exchange stories!

What's up where you are? Words? Cooking/baking/knitting/crafting/sleeping?

Same here; frantic gift-buying and trying to finish grading.

[jmathieson-fic.livejournal.com]

Good luck with the grading. Do you have an appropriate beverage?

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

If shots count as appropriate, then totes :D

I have arranged to stay in my hotel room another night, so now I'm curled up under the covers eating cookies and thinking about napping.

[jmathieson-fic.livejournal.com]

Mmmm... cookies...

Mmmm... naps...

I was congratulating myself, again (*g*) on how early I'd managed to get Christmas taken care of this year when it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't actually hit "send" on the presents to my nephews in England. ACK! Thanks to Amazon UK Father Christmas they'll still be there in time for Chrimbo anyway. \o/

I am trying to be realistic about how many of my rough draft Yuletide treats can be successfully buffed up for posting by Christmas and still writing new bits for them.

[jmathieson-fic.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. I too sent my nephews in England prezzies via Amazon UK Father Christmas!

Good luck with your Yultide buffing!

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

I read that first of all as "Yuletide boffing" -- sorry, my inner eight year old boy is alive and well... which is why I get on so well with my nephews. :D

Dinner has interrupted a good writing flow, but I hope to get right back into the mood now. I have beer, and NCIS is on, so it should be all easy.

[jmathieson-fic.livejournal.com]

Beer is almost always conclusive to writing, ime. Rock (and drink) on!

[naemi.livejournal.com]

Wisely spoken. Cheers!

[prisca1960.livejournal.com]

Beer, NCIS and writing ?? Wow, that's multitasking, that would never work for me.

[naemi.livejournal.com]

Beer goes well with NCIS and writing. NCIS and writing goes well when writing NCIS (which I should do; I still have one request to fill), but I'm currently trying to bang out words for my Z Nation/Teen Wolf crossover fic. So … I settled on beta'ing some NCIS instead.

Long story short: it's all interconnected somehow ^.^

[jmathieson-fic.livejournal.com]

No me neither. I can do the Writing with Beer, but I need either silence or instrumental music for accompaniment.

[lolmac]

Yay, finally got back to the computer between doing things!

We've hit the top 25 many times before with one or two posts, but I've never seen us hit it quite so many times in a single weekend. And yay, no trolls seem to have swung by in the process.

[jmathieson-fic.livejournal.com]

Yay for no trolls!!!

[naemi.livejournal.com]

Must be time I put my troll's club away :o)

[lolmac]

Naw -- if one shows up, you'll need the club to bop its head nice and hard.

[naemi.livejournal.com]

Valid point.

I'm just afraid with the beer I had, I'd simply fall over backward trying to swing it ^.^

[prisca1960.livejournal.com]

I'm still busy. Some more words are written, some editing is done and a lot thinking about how the story will go on :)

[jmathieson-fic.livejournal.com]

Writing, editing, and thinking! You've hit the trifecta!

[rosiedlotrfan.livejournal.com]

I've spent the whole day so far procrastinating, but am determined to start writing Right Freaking Now.

And in a moment of extreme foolishness, as if I didn't have enough to do, I just tried to snag one of the pinch hits that just went out. It's for a fandom I offered and really wanted to write in, but still... There were 10 minutes between the pinch hit going out and my reply, so I should be safe from my own stupidity - don't know whether I'll be relieved or disappointed if I don't get it!

[jmathieson-fic.livejournal.com]

Good luck ?!?

[rosiedlotrfan.livejournal.com]

lol, thanks! Looks like I didn't get it - the 'still' seeking email went out, the pinch hit I requested isn't on the list, and I haven't had an email from Jenn ::phew::

On the good side, the "what have I done??!!!" panicking seems to have dislodged the words I need for the Secret Santa I SHOULD be working on, so off to writewritewrite. \o/
