Sep. 15th, 2012 02:47 pmBecause I am a glutton for punishment, I just signed up for
cottoncandy_bingo. XD I think we all know my output level well enough to assume I'll get at least one bingo there.
For Big Bang fic, I'm at a little over 9k right now. By aiming to write 1k a day, I'm usually writing an extra hundred or two each day and that's adding up quickly. For every moment that I start to think I'm getting off track with it, I have two moments of thinking it's doing exactly what it needs to do. At the point I'm at now, I'm having fun with Akira's parents, and in the next 2k or so, I'll probably start in on Hikaru's parents and then begin the situation that'll be the catalyst for the next 40k of words. Should be fun!
In non-writing news, my fingernails are painted for the first time in forever and I'd forgotten how easy it is for me. I'm mostly ambidextrous anyway, so while my "manicure" may be a little messy, it's at least equally messy on both sides, and this particular kind has a good brush for me and for such a dark color (a blue that's almost black) only took 2 coats for full coverage. I've had a few chips so far, but I normally trash a paint job within an hour, so this is holding up well.
I'm also a little annoyed at the postal system. I'm waiting on the housing unit for my old computer hard drives so I can crack them and access the info and all of that, and it's been a month since I paid for it and not here yet! I've reported it to eBay, but now it's just more waiting. ;_;
