Good night Amy.

I should walk the floor, see if anyone freaks out when they see me, suddenly declaring their machine to be inoperable, even though it had been running fine up until they spotted me. Humbug.

LostRalph: Hi!

NS: LOL! :-D I very well might do that. I’m hoping to get a decent amount in this weekend, of course, to try to take some of the pressure off of that last weekend.

New grand total is 12,550.

Good night, mush.

Good evening deadpan, I figured I’d better make a post before my license gets revoked and I have to start using emotions again.

Nothing much to say besides:
Happy Birthday ditto! :)

Lejon said:

Why do sales people not understand the concept “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it”?

Replace “sales” and insert “marketing” : “management” : “HR” : “LEAN”

Conversely, why do the operators not understand the concept of “If it is fixed, don’t break it”?

“It doesn’t work! I can’t make it run at 200% of normal capacity! It is broken!”

What does it mean to be a Beta Reader? What feedback are you, as the author, looking to get from your beta? What sort of feedback is not helpful?

It’s a good title, I may consider it for a sequel. As it is, remember RBT is more a sequel to the one I’m writing than this one is a prequel.

Thanks, Amy!

I went to my mother-in-law’s house and soaked in her hot tub and feel miraculously better!

Time to dance… or…. recline on my sofa and watch V episode two.

J0e: I think that’s a great title for the RBT prequel!

Cj: Congrats on the productive day! Feel better!

My NaNo stats: 11,635 words total today. Working on a really exciting, dramatic scene that I love – plus, I’ve figured out how to tie it in to the rest of the novel! Yay!

Yay soup!

Those pics were indeed pretty awesome, Jack.

So have you taken my emailed advice re: the podcast, Jack?

By: Cj

Cj — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:17:29 +0000

That is pretty awesome, Jack.

OK – - I’m off to feed my family a giant crockpot full of homemade chicken noodle soup. I’ve never made it before and must say, it came out pretty good. Yay! Soup!

Tomorrow night starts the events of PodcampAZ with an EVFN kickoff.. so tonight, I am going to take that damn bubble bath and go to bed early. I’m NOT going to gut out the daughter’s room until next week. Tomorrow I’m going to get as much rest as possible because I have a feeling I won’t be sleeping for 3 days straight..

I’m excited and exhausted at the thought!

Holy crapoli. I hurt both my back and my shoulder cleaning my sons room. Nothing a nice, hot, bubble bath won’t fix. I didn’t just clean his room.. I took out one big black trash bag of toys for garage sale, one giant orange tub for trade-in at the 2nd hand shop, one white kitchen bag of broken stuff to trash and three bags of clothes to give away.

That room is clean I tell you. CLEAN! I even straightened the bookshelves.

I think I hurt from sitting on the floor and reaching in many directions – it was like a yoga cleaning workout and the gutting of the room was extra-cathartic.

It’s stuck in Troy? Maybe they should send a giant horse full of soldiers to get it out.

Chapter 2 done (well, drafted, you know what I mean) 1176 words. As I said before, the stuff keeps popping into my head, and today I can actually type some of it out.

I guess I said pooping before, but again, you know…

I’m just noticing that my messages were exactly 1 hour apart. I had to come up for air and to make lunch for my little dude.

I’m about 1/2 done with the toys.. maybe 1/3rd.. haven’t started the clothes yet.

I’m nowhere near far enough along yet, but is there anyone here at the Pan who might beta read this stuff?

By: JohnBoze

JohnBoze — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:45:45 +0000

Hrm, I’ll take that title under consideration, but considering this is technically a prequel maybe “Really Slightly-Larger-Than-Average Things…”

I’m not in NaNo (and frankly ought to be doing other things), but my word count today has been 1187 so far today…

Jack: I believe the US Court system defined “action figures” as dolls some time in the ’90s, and while such a definition may have been a frivolous endeavor, ultimately millions of young children’s parents paid for it.

My favorite Ralph Macchio movie is My Cousin Vinny.

… Somehow, I’m behind again, and not behind at the same time – I hate temporal mechanics.

OK. I’m going to go organize my son’s room. Remove “baby” toys and clothes that no longer fit.

If you don’t hear from me within two hours, send help.

I don’t think I saw that movie, but I see it was directed by Robert Downey Sr. I didn’t realize daddy was in the business too.
