Just because it's under the table doesn't mean you shouldn't bring a little professionalism to the table.

Under the table, over the table, off the back of a truck, up the back of a trucker, whatever.

But not in a dumpster behind the courthouse you got divorced in, because that confuses Zenny and makes him think his divorce didn't take.

He couldn't divorce Susie, far to attached. Half the time they are practically joined at the hip.

The Night of Writing Dangerously (that event I asked for donations for) was last night. Andy and I raised enough to both go, and we had a great time. I punched through 50k words all the way up to 60k, for a total of 13,954 written in 5 hours.

THANK YOU to the DLers who donated. Between you guys and family and other friends, Andy and I only had to put in $60 of our own money. That's pretty awesome.

I'm going to go sink into the deep, dark depression that's been threatening me for the past few weeks, partially because of the sugar coma from all the candy and treats from the events.

Oh. But first, I'm off to go get books signed by Patrick Rothfuss. I like living in the Bay Area sometimes.

You've finished NaNo already? Now what will you spend the next 9 days doing?! D:

(By which I mean congrats, that's awesome, and all the usual stuff you hear~)

Edit: Okay, so apparently I have finished NaNo today too! By which I mean I've hit 50k and will have finished once I add a couple of titles in. 9 days to add 2 titles? Seems legit.

Lady Door · « **Reply #757 on:** November 21, 2012, 10:53:00 PM »

Yep, at 60k. I took a break for a couple days (because holy hell typing 14k words in 4-5 hours hurts); I'll probably try to wrap up a few scenes and end the novel.

It is the worst of worst first drafts, especially with the pool babies I had to drop to hit 14k in 4-5 hours, so it'll undoubtedly be trashed. But it did get me primed to work on the short fiction I've been sketching, so I've set myself up pretty good for December!

Black Friday this year wasn't that great. Opening the day before doesn't help the consumer unless they go then. Family usually goes out as a unit around 7-8AM, and usually does pretty well and finds everything. This year... not so much. Compared to normal, just empty, disorganized stores with no labelling, grumpier employees (even for Black Friday).

Still got a few good deals. X-Com at WalMart for 25, Cabin in the Woods on BR for 8 at Best Buy.

But was it as good as this guy's book? I am doubtful!

Grefter · « **Reply #764 on:** November 25, 2012, 10:21:08 PM »

That is beautiful. I would say I hope it is that exact book, but it only has 1400 words.

That's the problem with writing something so perfect, I guess. You don't want to dilute your perfect creation just to meet arbitrary requirements of word count.

Going to see Wicked in London next month. I am really pysched about that, it looks like a lot of fun.

Oh sweet. I've always needed a lawyer friend to help me write up a binding contract that absolves me of all responsibility for any half-Japanese illegitimate children I may have~ *waves tentacles at Jim*

NotMiki · « **Reply #774 on:** November 27, 2012, 06:13:32 AM »

What my client was trying to say is that although his tentacles may or may not have penetrated severally the entire female population of the greater Tokyo metropolitan region, principles of comity and Japanese family law should control here; though under American law plaintiffs wishing to establish paternity could argue the right to a paternity test, it is well-established under Japanese law that children have no parents¹.
