Whispers

That is how I felt today when I come back from lunchtime munchables and found my poor baby internet had died ignobly, given up the ghost, and taken most of my work for the afternoon with it.

:headdesk:

Well, it's back and higher speed than we've had before with a new router that's not supposed to die at random intervals. Yay!

In the meantime, what have we done with ourselves? (Yes, I know. I use the royal 'we.' This is a trait that can be annoying but not easily discarded.)

Well...

1. We made a handful of our pairing20in20 icons. The whole set is due by the 3rd, but Emma/Charles is quite interesting to pull off.

2. We completed the front and back cover and three and a half pages of the comic, Darkholme & Xavier, Vol. 1, "The Baby and the Bath Water."

3. Before the internet died, we reformatted and calameo'd about 7 fics.

4. We're working on our website and will soon have a lovely network of the LJ, original fiction WP, grammar whore WP, writing LJ, and FF. Soon is relative.

5. Did RL work. Some. It's tough to do when most of it is supposed to be done online.

6. Read "Conflict of Interests" by lithiumlaughter. If you haven't read it yet, hie thee over and get yourself an eyeful. This is awesome.

:hugs to all:

And I'm not ready.

:glares at internet that resurrected less than 5 minutes ago:

Must clack this lunch break. Heaps to do, heaps to do.

Well, I posted drabbles yesterday on my Fanfiction.net account, but I was supposed to post a big chappie of something. Will try to catch up today.

Still need to read up on Election Day and a bunch of other stuff in my inbox, including pygmymuse's original fic teasers. Still need to deal with all my lovely emails. And I have honest to goodness reviews to respond to as well.

Hm.

Well, I've done more than I would have without the Plan of Action, so I'll just be grateful and call it a day, 'kay?

Starting now.

I'll still sneak in and answer emails (I promise, pygmymuse, to remain available) and occasionally (very rarely) comment or post, etc.; however, my lovely compatriots, it is now conference season. For those that have followed my FF.net profile for the last few years, you know what that means.


I will have no life.

I will not write fiction.

I will be knee-deep in music and programs and presentations and running around for my grandmother who runs the whole thing because I'm her secretary.

See y'all next month!

I hereby predict:

• partly cloudy skies on the fanfiction front. Low cloud cover, but some real stormy days when conditions are right.

• storm front moving on original short stories. Frequent cloud cover and overcast conditions.

( Read more... )

• sporadic rain and snow showers in the novel range. A heavy cold front is hovering over this area, but we won't see it actually dropping precipitation but rarely.

( Read more... )

• and regular, intermittent doses of sunshine.

Here's to a wonderful 2011 to you all!
