lol writing

In ten days it will have been a month since I flounced from nanomeme, and holy crap you guys. I did not realize how shitty nanomeme was making me feel until I went back to reread some diary entries from then. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm less cranky. Which is not saying much, I admit, since I'm still one cranky sumbitch, but still.

I think I've hit the point with Gadget Girl where I need to go back through and outline the fuck out of it. I've also got a bunch of edits sitting on my hard drive that I need to look at, but I wanted to actually finish writing the book first.

And then I got stuck.

So I guess I'm going to spend today outlining the fuck out of it and identifying all of my subplots and maybe harassing [livejournal.com profile] soleta to help me if she's not busy. And wants to. But mostly if she's not busy.

I put it in googledocs last night and oh my god you guys it's two docs' worth of stuff. I'm not even shitting you. I don't even know how I managed to write something that long, but I did. Go me!

And now, back to making spaghetti.

You flounced from nanomeme? why didn't you tell me :( you know I love funny things.

It was a very quiet flouncing. Someone called it gadgetgirl_meme and I was like "Well it's not my fault no one else posts" and they were like ":(" and I was like "No, now I feel bad for commenting. Bye bbs"

And left. And I haven't gone back since and Becky, I feel so much better about myself and my writing and life in general. And I'm no longer angry all day that no one else is posting there, because I don't give a crap!

I can't believe you're not mocking me more for this.

[identity profile] sadface.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I feel like I'm in a place where I can't mock anyone from flouncing from anywhere ever again

Ahahahahahahaha PRETTY MUCH.

DID IT DIE AFTER YOU FLOUNCED?

[identity profile] sadface.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
it didn't! there's been a whole page since you left.

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
A WHOLE PAGE IN A MONTH! THAT'S AMAZING!

There was a nanomeme? Your basic Nano is frustrating enough! (Unless I'm failing in language here. WHICH WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME.)

It's a place on the internets that me and a bunch of people hung out at to provide each other support during NaNoWriMo. And so we continued using it for FindYourWords.

I'm sorry it ended up frustrating you so much. Support usually works better when there are people around to do it. :(

*\o/*

I still rly need to get back to you about that. LOL THINKS IT'S ALL ABOUT ME AND MY PRECIOUS CARNIVALE FIC. DDDDD:

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, don't worry about it, I'm sure you'll get to it eventually!

[identity profile] inkdot.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I say that to myself a lot. :D:

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly, when I start getting ">:( GOD WHY HAS INKDOT NOT GIVEN ME ANY FEEDBACK YET" then I will be going to you "HAY INKDOT ARE YOU BUSY? :D? CAN YOU LIKE, GIVE ME FEEDBACK ON A CHAPTER OF GGATZA? :D?"

[identity profile] inkdot.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
INKDOT IS HAVING TEMPORARY TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, AND IS THEREFORE HIDING UNDER HER BED. PLEASE STAY ON THE LINE - YOUR CALL IS IMPORTANT TO US!

LOL LESS CRANKY?

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
DUDE I HONESTLY AM. I mean, I'm still cranky as hell, but it's directed at different things! And not as... you know. Cranky. LOOK I AM OKAY, EVEN IF YOU CAN'T TELL.

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think you believe me. :(

[identity profile] shadowkitty.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I was trying to be supportive but I don't think I'm very good at it :(

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
OH LOL I WAS SO CONFUSED.

[identity profile] shadowkitty.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL :(

I'm not very coherent today anyway. I'm all wobbly and my head still hurts.

[identity profile] chocolatepot.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I am so sorry! D: If I had been a good mod and hung around after Nano ended I would have reprimanded them.

[identity profile] chocolatepot.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretend that's in response to the comment where you said why you flounced. :(

[identity profile] peavie.livejournal.com 2009-02-09 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I really only go now to read about the horrors of getyourwordsout.

SO GLAD I DIDN'T DO THAT, BTW.
