I hate waiting. Have I mentioned I hate waiting?

In other news:



only 15k to go. YAY!

*curses the empty inbox some more*

I'm an impatient wench. Want to know how impatient I am?

I finished editing my part of Lotus In The Wild this weekend even though me and Margie weren't gonna start it until tomorrow. I couldn't help it, I got all angsty missing the characters and started to reread it then just went ahead and edited as I read.

I also...wrote the opening scene for the next in the series, Lily Of The Valley. Again, I couldn't help it. My screensaver came on and some of the pics in it are of Tiernan all nakey and hot and pretty and...I couldn't help myself. And we're not supposed to start Lily until the end of the month.

So yes. Impatient much, Fae?

I also wrote another thousand words of my NaNo but am too lazy to upload it for validation right now so you'll just have to take my word for it. That put me officially over 30k for the month. Woot, I'm on track to finish in ten days if I keep going like this.

How is it possible to be writing a book in a month, editing a completed one, waiting impatiently to hear on two other completed books out to the publisher, starting writing *another* book and still be sitting here going *whine* "I wanna write..."?

And darn it Poppet's not on to indulge me so I guess I'll go to sleep. You know, sleep, that thing I don't get much of lately but randomly got 7 hours of today. And yet I'm still bored. God I need help lol. There's just no words for the lame. Is there such a thing as *too* much writing? I hope not or else I'd be in some serious trouble.

I'm only about 800 words from 30k, I could probably have reached it tonight except I wanted to bling some because omg haven't roleplayed since Friday with Margie and haven't with Poppet since, like, Thursday or something.

It's flowing like water, I'm so pleased with it. The boys are currently on the verge of nightclub bathroom smex and I'm looking forward to getting that finished tonight after I sleep for a good long time cuz I've been up for a long damn time lol. Course so has Poppet, who is currently dozing beside me. *snuggles her*

I'm so bored...I can't even focus enough to read Lotus, which I wanted to do because omg love it so much. But yeah, too sleepy. So off to wake Poppet to do breakfast and then home to sleep for a week. Or 5 or 6 hours, whichever.

Thanks to the wonderful folks in the Yahoo chat tonight, I made my goal of 20k before bed!



YAY! *does a happy dance* And just think, two days ago I had a measly 8400 words. Now I get to pass out. Good luck everybody else! You can do it!

For my NaNo novel, titled "Joshua's Muse.

Check it out, took me several hours to make:



I'm in love with it. Stark and simple and perfectly fits the mood and theme of the story.

I got the idea to make a book cover as a way to motivate (aka procrastinate) myself, from a friends list buddy also doing NaNo. Anybody else this kind of lame?

Lookie that. I am officially ahead! Not by much just a couple hundred but still! I was 5k behind at 5 this evening!

god bless the wrimobuddies girls in MSN for word wars. Three twenty minute word wars later I had my goal! Woot!

I got blasted with inspiration and wrote those 1700 words in, like, 20 minutes. Jeesh. Now for a cigarette, caffeine and more writing. I *will* be at word count by the time I go to bed. (okay I might be so eager to do that because the first smex scene should be in the next 3k or so lol)

Woot! Word wars rock! Poppet and I did an hour long challenge to each other where whoever wrote the most words in that hour got their choice of which RP couple we write tonight. I won with just over 3000 words but she did awesome too. We so have to do that more often, if we do it again tomorrow I'll be caught up to my daily word count woot!

So yes, very pleased, and getting to some really good stuff in the story too. I'm still loving the story, the characters and the plot is coming along wonderfully. *hearts NaNo*

Meh. 5117 is so *not* where I wanted to be by now. Unfortunately the weekend was nuts and I got zero NaNo writing done due to having to do some major rewrites and edits for my already completed novels in preperation for them going out to the publisher on Monday. But I did get some done tonight and got me up to over 5k. Hopefully with the books winging their way to the publisher tomorrow I'll have some extra time to catch up to everyone else on NaNo. I feel so behind.

But big kudos to those of you able to stay on course and topping the 10, 15, even 20 k mark already. I hope I can catch up to you all soon!

If anybody wants to add me to their yahoo buddy list (I don't use AIM) my id there is wolvies1 , feel free to give me a bling! Unless of course I'm writing in which case you'll probably get a growl in response lol.

I'm off to bed but here's to everyone else doing this crazy thing called NaNo! 45 minutes in and I'm at 2055 words so far. I'd keep going but I'm passing out at the keyboard so off to bed for me, more writing tomorrow. I'm gonna kick NaNo's ass!

Getting on the Nano boards tonight is a joke lol...I need to check out the LJ community for it maybe instead. I'm such a schmuck, too. I totally changed my mind last night on what I was writing for Nano. My shapeshifter egyptian boys? On the back burner. My greek homo-in the closet artsy boys? Yeah. *shakes head* Less than 4 hours and I still don't have an opening scene. I can let it flow freestyle from there but the opening scene is so important...gah.

And what do I do instead of pondering the problem? Go back to RP-ing mindless smut. Yes, I'm going to do so well at Nano, can't you just tell?

Purdy shiny...

I'd had no intention of doing NaNoWriMo this year...I have a book in submission, one in progress, one being mused and several others waiting to be written, not to mention the joint fic and roleplay writing I do just for fun.

*sighs* Then today this beautiful Egyptian boy wandered into my office, sat his pretty painted self on my desk and started talking. I'm such a sucker...so guess who's going to be doing NaNoWriMo this year after all? I have no illusions I'll actually finish in a month but oh I want to write this boy's story.

Now if he'd just tell me his name.
