Nanowrimo Day 23

[frea_o]

If you’re playing the Frea drinking game, chug. I’ve added another chapter to my Secret Santa project. I skipped half a chapter because it’s an epic team-fight that I need some choreographers for (somebody please remind me to go back and suck it up and write that thing, will you?). This new chapter involves an unconventional friendship I haven’t seen much, so that’s a positive. I get negative in my whining, so I’m choosing to focus on the positive right now.

On a less positive front, I’m like 3k behind today’s (Saturday) word count. I’m hoping for five more chapters of this fic, which means it’ll get done right around the same time as Nanowrimo!

Hit up Black Friday with the best friend and the nephew, who gets better and better by the day. It got a little hectic in the main part of the mall, but I got a blender for my sis and bro-in-law-to-be that I think they’ll really like for their place. And I found a really great book for my brother when we were at Barnes and Noble, all because nephew pulled it off the shelf.

I need a cute blog name for him. I think maybe Dragonlet.

Anyway, Dragonlet has a funny habit where he drops things and goes, “Uh-oh!” He hasn’t put it together that saying, “Uh-oh!” is about accidents, so it just comes down to him being a little stinker. He has the smirk to go with it, too. Also, right now everything is “Puppy!”

When I got home, I did a Google hangout with my friend for a few hours while we both tried to catch up on word count. It was really fun because we were asking each other random questions throughout the night (“Is it Romanov family? Empire? Dynasty?”). But tomorrow I really need to buckle down and get this done.

Oh Lord, Secret Santa.

I can't even right now.

Mine's 21,544 words long already and still growing. I think I'm finally past halfway? Maybe? It was supposed to just be sprinkled in my Nano stuff as a fun thing to write among the other stories I'm trying to finish....but somehow it took over my life. And I have two other major stories that aren't getting finished in November because of it.

I just hope my recipient doesn't mind getting something shortish and cute and fluffy, because I think I'm going to need it.

Mine asked for angst. I don't really write angst...says the person who wrote the angstiest fic in her last fandom. I don't think your recipient will mind short and fluffy. It's my recipient's fault she gave me such an awesome premise that was begging for further explanation.

lol I'll have to go back and check, I think my person was okay with fluff, or angst, or anything. AH TOO MANY OPTIONS ;)
