GET THOSE WORDS OUT IN 2009!!!

[paragraphs]

To help me in my quest to make 2009 "The Year Carolyn Writes Again," I've joined katilara and theemdash in the madness of getyourwordsout.

(It is also a good way to keep an eye on those two, make sure they are working hard on their brilliant steampunk novel I want to hold in my hands before I turn 48).

Check it out. Maybe it could help you, too.

I pledge to seriously think about joining. Is that okay?

To be honest, I'm not sure I have enough ideas in me for 200K+ words in one year. Maybe if I include what I've written on "The Rift"...hmm......

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

You must finish that book! That would be a great goal for the year... Yeah.

And happy belated b-day to you!

[infinityltd.livejournal.com]

I am hoping to get the first draft done before the end of the month. Depends on what all's going on with studying, legal proceedings, my own mood and energy level, etc.

And thank you for the burfday wishes.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Grin. GOOD!!! Then you will be in rewrite heaven! Or hell...

I know you have had a hell of a hard year, and sure hope 2009 is better for you in all ways.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

ah but Cccccccccccccccccccc

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

WHAT?????

You can join in with your thesis, Nick. That would help you! Pledge 100,000 words and join in the fun!!!

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

Lol but see - I don't have a choice BUT to write the thesis, part of the beauty of such a community is knowing you might not be really doing it because there are other things getting in the way and still sticking to it.

Yknow what I mean. lol.

[momebie.livejournal.com]

DO ITTTTT. BE IN A COMM WITH ME AGAIN, OH I MISS YOUR PRESENCE. ♥

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

My friend amproof is joining in. She hails from lots of original fic, Life on Mars, other things...we met via Savage Garden, back in the day when bandslash wasn't called bandslash. LOL.

Nick COULD post his progress on the thesis... Grin.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

I'm blaming you.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I'm blaming you.

Who me? Not me, KL I am sure you mean.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

actually yes, I did mean KL? Didn't I reply to KL? lol even though I'm at least beeeeeeeeeeending the emdash enforced rules. take that KL! sowwy. lol.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Grin. Yeah you did, I was just teasing. LOL.

All I do know is...I am having the warmest fuzzies about writing that I've had in a long, long time.

*happy sigh*

2009 is going to be good. Could be brilliant...if you were here...but it is going to be good.

[momebie.livejournal.com]

YAY! BLAME! \o/

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

LOL.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

well, I know, I understand....

But you can still join in, just won't be for fun(?)

grin

[theemdash]

Yes, I'm totally working on the steampunk. >.>

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Good.

lol.

[talekyn.livejournal.com]

Is that a hint? That's a hint, isn't it. It looks like a hint, smells like a hint, sounds like a hint ...

Then again, I'm not so good at taking hints, as we all know. It's more effective when you smack me upside the head with a two-by-four.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

She will. In person. And you know it too.

So - you and Cody gonna hook up again? ;) (Damn, it was Cody, right? I forget...)

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I don't think we're going to that restaurant...unless Anthony insists. It is entirely up to him. And his budget. LOL.

[talekyn.livejournal.com]

It was Cody and .... hmmmm ... I hadn't thought about making C go all the way up there for dinner. *grin*

And yes, I'm fulling expecting her to greet me with a big hunk o' lumber. And not the good kind.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I have a few leftover fence boards...

[talekyn.livejournal.com]

You sure you didn't use those on the kid who broke into the house? You should have ....

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

HEY ANTHONY!!!!!!!

FINISH AMBERGRIN IN 2009!!!!!!!

You could COMMIT to it by joining in! Eric should too, though he is nearly in rewriting mode. There's still the rest of the year, you know.

lol.

[talekyn.livejournal.com]

*ouch*

Whoever came up with that cliche should be smacked upside the head with a ...

dammit. nevermind.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

/eyes you/

I will of course be eyeing you in person on Saturday, so be prepared.

Be afraid.

[talekyn.livejournal.com]

Afraid does not begin to cover it.

[infinityltd.livejournal.com]

I'll be in rewriting mode for a while, but I do have one solid idea for NaNoWriMo 2009 and another one fermenting. They're going to both need research, though.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I will so cheer you on...I not only intend to write lots in 2009, but pay better attention to my fellow writers.

Hoo yeah...

[infinityltd.livejournal.com]

*smacks Talekyn in head with two-by-four*

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Beat him, beat him!!!!

[talekyn.livejournal.com]

*OUCHIE*

Even further delayed reaction, due to ... me being a dingbat and not commenting earlier.

[infinityltd.livejournal.com]

I was wondering which one you were going to see first. I was hoping you'd see this one and then the one on your blog, connect the two and laugh through the pain.

[talekyn.livejournal.com]

I did see them in that order originally, but since I'm answering by going backwards through my email ... the other one got commented on first.

[catsintheattic.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking about joining. My aikido book would count as well, wouldn't it? And we could collect the word count from different projects, yes?

What do you think: shall I join?

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Nick is signed up with thesis and fanfic, so yes, of course! Your aikido book would be awesome!

I am absolutely for real gonna make this work for me. I *WILL* have a different attitude regarding writing from here on out, growl, and this will help. I know it will.

IT WILL!

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

Even though my thesis is borderlining the rules. Heh. But see. KL begged me to, so theemdash and sopdetly will just have to deal :P

*smirks*

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

yes, but it IS publishable...so it counts!

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

It better be publishable or I'll be pissed.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Rightly so. But...I imagine you will be successful.

After all, you ARE scary.

[momebie.livejournal.com]

Dude. Em and Sopdetly are like, me, only separate. They'll take to you like a duck to water.

[catsintheattic.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll join. Because I really want to finish this book and a lot of other writing projects. And I really hope that things will be a little easier with the support of a group.

Thanks for the rec!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Squee! I am adding warm bodies left and right! LOL.
