 | 11:08 am - NaNoWriMo Wordcount
Mostly I'm wondering why only two days are green when I've only missed two wordcounts... Oh well. I think this updates itself, so I shouldn't have to repost. So I ditched the monthly graph because I tend to do most of my writing between 10 and 3 and that was messing up my daily counts. That and I don't want to show off how badly I've been doing. *headdesk*

It was a fight to get started tonight, but I picked a scene that would have a lot of emotional resonance for Cian. It's close to where Marc is emotionally this week, and I knew I could try to draw him out that way. And I've got him, a Cian on the cusp of figuring out that he needs to make a major change in his life. From this point in the book it'd be all downhill.
Except for the part where I'm writing out order and there's still half a book to come before this.
Anyway, set a goal of 3000 words for today and bypassed that by 40 words just as I reached a good pause point. Had to make up for yesterday and on Saturday I'll need to make up for tomorrow, unless I squeak a word or three out. We'll see.
9230 / 50000 words. 18% done!

After a few RIDICULOUSLY LONG DAYS that involved writing a survey for Research Methods that I finished a mere half hour before class (Say what? Procrastination or an attempt at perfection? It is up for debate...), I come home last night to find a ridiculously large package from Amazon. Thinking it was the Caramel Apple Pops (Thanks, Angeline!), I am now confused since there's no way she ordered a 7 lb. box of lollipops.
Instead I find a Hello Kitty humidifier, courtesy of wonderful Matty, who said he figured I needed something that would make my apartment feel more like home. Which - was so sweet because this climate has been killer on my skin and - I just miss him. And am so glad I get to see him in three weeks because living away from him is more sucktastic than I like to admit.
And now, I am five weeks away from finishing my first semester of grad school. All I've got left is to write final papers and give presentations. And then - another semester commences, and then it's summer, and then I start work on my masters thesis. Good lord, time flies.
But anyway. Today was the first day of work, and I got to observe the program in action while distributing the pre-test for the morning session of girls. I felt SUPER OLD - and totally ill-equipped to deal with middle school aged kids. Elementary school kids and under? Fine. High schoolers? Sure. But I totally cannot deal with middle school aged kids - it just reminds me of a super super awkward time in my life that I have no desire to repeat. And busing to and walking in South Denver was an adventure too. People kept warning me to be careful, but honestly I'm one of them - what the hell are they going to do? Maybe nicer dressed but still, a minority. Whatever people. Diversity is good. I really doubt someone's going to shank me in broad daylight.
Now I have two hours to kill before going back to administer the pre-test for the 6th graders and the question is, whether or not I should get eggrolls and pho to go on my way home since I'm so close by to the best Viet food in Denver...

 | 12:12 am - The Black Family Chronicles: Part One
The Black Family ChroniclesIntroduction
My family you will have heard of and you most likely have heard of myself too. People know of my family even if they do not immediately recognise me. Not many people have and those who have don't connect me to my family. Sometimes that is a good thing, sometimes it isn't. It really just all depends on the situation that I'm currently in. My family has a long history which isn't all the surprising if one looks at our family tree. You can trace it back to the Roman Empire. It is rather impressive with the amount of people that are on it. Of course it is going to continue further through my two son's and my wife's brother's children though they will not have the family name. Yes my family is the infamous Black Family of Magical Britain and I am Orion Black youngest child and only son of Melanie McMillian and Arcturus Black as well as heir to the Black Family. My family has given me the task of recording our family history for the future generations to come in a Black Family Chronicle and this is what it is going to be.
Our first known ancestor was Nero Arctus Black in the Roman Empire. It is rather impressive that we can trace our family that we know of ancestors back then. Though not much else is known about them. From there we can travel all the way through the centuries to my children. Hopefully as time passes and they grow older they will continue to add to this Chronicle for their descendants to know of our families past.

Right, this week is turning out even more stressy than expected. Had an intensely busy day at work yesterday, am in training today all day, and working only a half day tomorrow. My husband has the flu. Last night I took my daughter to a concert, and Friday I'm going to CT to see the same concert myself. My son tested for his belt in TKD last night and my parents are being tapped to help move people around because of the insanity. Sometime Saturday night I may be human again.
Still tagging my log during the moments that I can. If anything has gone up that Peter or Alban need to be aware of, please please please poke me here or on AIM. Right now I'm just trying not to faceplant asleep before I even leave the house for work.

I am really in love with Katerina Graham who plays Bonnie on The Vampire Diaries (and, you know, the show in general) and it's making me really want to PB her. Which is bad, because I am maxed out on characters at both ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) wished and eligere and I definitely do not need more anywhere else.
She's so adorable, though.
I think I need a 12 Step Program for RP.

Not bad considering I only had a few things to tag tonight. I king of like keeping track of word counts. Makes me feel more productive.
I'm also enjoying one of the threads I'm doing a LOT more than I thought I would.

I have just started reading the first book in A Song of Fire and Ice (A Game of Thrones)... and I had some questions. So if anyone out there in my flist land has read this series and is willing to talk a little bit about it with me, that would be great! :D
( uh cut for possible spoilers even though I'm not very far in yet, just in case )

Wow. This is, no lie, my largest batch since Hugh Jackman in 2007 -- and there's still more imagery I wanted to icon but couldn't, since I'm catching a flight tomorrow & leaving my big laptop behind. Just means there's more coming eventually!
Either way, James Purefoy is so majestic and rugged and attractive, I can't even stand it. To me, he's like an unusual combination between Hugh Jackman & Jack Davenport & Mads Mikkelsen. I used him for a while as the NPC PB for Jackman's older brother, and I thought it worked awesomely. Iconset is a combination of period clothing & modern era.

Low count for the day, because I had work and I didn't have much of anything to tag when I got home tonight. :( That's the crappy thing about being all caught up for once, I guess. :P

Just a real quick update for today. I wrote. I didn't write as much as I'd have liked. I caused trouble because I exiled my husband from the downstairs and the television while I'm writing since I don't have an office.
I won't get much written tomorrow but if I can even squeak out 1000 words at lunch I'll be in decent shape. Because tomorrow I go to see The Academy Is...! And Friday, too, but even less writing that day which is why I'm considering going straight to a write-in on Saturday when I get back from CT.

No tidbits today, sorry. I kind of hated the scene I was working on which is why I ground to a halt. Cian's voice still sucks.
