Well there’s a start.
GrayCub is being a hell of an influence tonight. I’m still sipping on that first juice, but she and EtCet have got me shooting vodka too. Blighters.
Also, DriNi rules say no editing. Sorry.

Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Indiana Jones and Bill Nye the Science Guy.

So, the eminent Mr. Silver claims that he has technological wonders that might be able to help me rescue my NaNo outline, and that would be great. In the meantime, I am chronicling the wanderings of Mrs. Naughty McMeanie-Pants. I wrote all of the preface up to the point where The King comes home and gets murdered and The Prince is cursed. Now, having fled the scene of the crime, Mrs. Naughty knows that her days are numbered and is searching for a restful place to wait for who ever takes it into his/her head to come for her.
All the while my so-called Main Characters are still off-stage waiting for the drama queen to get through her narrative. I can almost hear them.
“Is she wrapping up yet?”
“Not that I can tell, but the flashbacks have stopped.”
“Well, that’s probably a good sign.”
“Maybe”
*sigh* “Wake me when it’s my turn.”
Poor things. This is what happened and stalled me out last year, though, so I’m just letting it happen. Who knows, maybe I’ll end up with a nifty novel entirely from the McMeanie-Pants point-of-view. There are worse things.

Alrighty. Look back a few short posts. See that bit from a year ago about The Black Mother’s Curse? Well I’m going to take another run at that story. Since I’m moving this month and the stress level is going to be something wretched, my personal goal is 75,000 by Dec 21 instead of the traditional 50,000 by Dec 1. Wish me luck!
It Was a Fan Girl Xmas
My folks know how to make me smile.
I received both volumes of George R. R. Martin’s “Dreamsongs.” It was originally published in 2003 by Subterranean Press as “GRRM: a rretrospective.” GRRM, my personal hero, has collected a pile if his short stories along with the history of how and why he was writing them. It is amazingly cool!

NanoWriMo ‘07 Wrap Up
I suck. I suck. I really really suck.
I think I’m going to try doing my own writing month early next year. I can’t seem to dedicate enough time to writing with the holidays ramping up and the semester coming to a close. I got about 20,00 word, 2/5 of the desired total.
NanoWriMo Day 1
Word Count: 2,704 / 50,000
I’m doing something a little different this year.
And when I say a little different, I mean something that I’ve never before attempted in a serious way. I’m writing standard fiction. I’m not sure if it will qualify as suspense or as contemporary fiction when I’m done, but it sure as hell isn’t fantasy or sci-fi.
I haven’t figured out a title yet.
The plot, as currently revealed, is following two primary characters. Rebecca Grossman, a 34 year old writer from a small town who moved to New York two years ago, was raped in her home after coming home from a party. Detective Reuben Levine is a veteran member of the NYPD and has been assigned to her case. So far they’ve spoken one sentence each in each other’s presence, as Ms. Grossman fell into a unconsciousness just after Levine arrived on the scene.
You can keep track of my progress as the challenge progresses at http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/89393. Check back here as well for extra goodies like character profiles, research notes, and maybe even polls where in you, the dedicated reader, can give you opinion on the fabulous and progressing plot!
And now for today’s writing!

Write Me a Letter
I want a love letter. Would you write one for me? It doesn’t have to be to me, though that would be really fabulous. Just write a love letter and post it here or email it to me.
It’s doesn’t have to be a normal letter. It can be creepy, or depressing, or really really wrong as long as it is also, technically, a love letter. Show me your weird side, Lord know mine show often enough.
You’ll find the one I’ve written below that cut Write Me a Letter- continue reading

Well today seems down right slow after all that. “All” I had to do was shadow the Frame Ordering lady, record her every motion, then figure out how to document it so the next time she goes on vaca someone will know how to do her job.
Though I did bring the project home with me, I’ll spare you a sample. It’s a bit flat after the last bunch.
Speaking of which, I’m almost to $100!! Come on folks, if I can do that well in 24 hours, there is no reason I can get to $200 by this time tomorrow.
