Last Line of the Day
Nov. 8th, 2013 11:30 pm"Huh, no wonder he was so miffed. And it's not your fault, you do know that?"
"I think I do. It's just hard to remember at times."
"I think I do. It's just hard to remember at times."
Last Line of the Day
Nov. 7th, 2013 11:28 pmPutting someone like that in the role of protected would be an insult. Better not to encourage herself thinking like that.
Second open letter
Nov. 6th, 2013 12:17 amDear Hava and Meghan,
At least now you're doing something, but do either of you know what you're doing? No? That's what I thought. You're both supposed to be professionals, right? is there something in the water that made you act this way? Given how Meghan is behaving at the moment, that might be the case yet. Hmn, I think I can work with that.
Love, your author
P.S. See, Priesty, I told you I would name you. Be glad.

Dear Big Bad,
Do something. Anything. All you've done so far is sit around and gaze at the ceiling while contemplating your amazingness. That's not going to get things done.
Love, your exasperated author

The first open letter for this NaNo
Nov. 3rd, 2013 06:25 pmDear Hava and Priesty,
Why the hell are you suddenly talking about quitting your jobs? This is not what I had planned at all! You're not supposed to quit until the end of the story.
Yours in exasperation, the author
P.S. Yes, Priesty, I will come up with a proper name for you. Eventually.

Dear Characters
Oct. 3rd, 2012 02:30 pmDear Concy, Michael, and Ameena,
Please have more story than 'trying to navigate a polyamorous relationship'. I cannot spend 50K on that, I'll go crazy! (Well, crazier.)
I know the last time I wrote about you it didn't end well either, but that wasn't a good plot either. So give me something better.
Yours,
Yattara

Oct. 27th, 2011 02:24 pmOh look, it's almost November. What's a girl to do? Well, NaNo, of course. I finally had a plot-idea, and that's good. I didn't participate last year. Hell, I barely wrote the past twelve months. We'll have to see how things go.
After all, there's no new White Collar until next year anyway. Also, Lost Girl won't be back until next week. And no Dr Who until Christmas. Or Sherlock until the new year. All of these shows own time-shares in my heart, apart from DW, which has a permanent apartment.

Remember, remember, the first of November
Oct. 6th, 2010 05:58 pmSo, NaNo'll be upon us soon.
I don't know if I am going to participate this year. I've never come this close without at least something resembling a plot, or the slightest inclination to write. It's... yeah, I don't know what it is.

How could I have missed this?
Nov. 12th, 2009 06:09 pmDR WHO THIS WEEKEND!
*flails*
This Sunday. Has NaNo eaten my brain that much? How is that possible?

Dear Elsie,
I know you are angry at Kate. She was acting spineless and like a wimp. Still, you need to help her, or else the plot'll just fall apart. And we wouldn't want that, would we?

Aug. 11th, 2009 03:43 pmFor giving me a good kick in the backside. I have a terrible tendency to just fuss and not do anything. I whine a lot about wanting to write instead of just doing so. I can't say exactly why this is so, apart from general laziness and unwillingness to do the work.
I was talking about NaNo, and that I had no clue what to write about, or whether I even wanted to participate this year. He said "There's nine days before you come over here. I want you to come up with three outlines for NaNo by then."
This was yesterday. I have two already.

Nov. 25th, 2008 04:49 pmDear NaNo,
It's not you, really it's not. But I think I need a break from you. Due to external happenings we've not been able to spend quality-time together this and last year. I am ever so sorry, especially this late in the month and me having quit in the first week, but I can't do this anymore. With the latest happenings, my Muse has fled the house along with my motivation, an she hasn't come back yet. She also thinks it's too cold around here, so she's on some tropical island, enacting The Blue Lagoon. Or The Monster from the Black Lagoon. She can be a bit cruel at times.
Much love and kisses,
the authrix.

100K? Noooooooooooooooooooo...!
Oct. 29th, 2008 05:19 pmDear Muse,
No, I am not doing two NaNo’s at once. Where did you get the idea from? Why last year’s (failed) NaNo? And why are you suggesting it three days before the start?
The author, slightly disgruntled.

Dear author,
It’ll be fun! The guys miss you. And since you’re stuck on the outline for this year’s attempt, I thought you might like the diversion.
Sweet smiles,
Your Muse.

Dear Muse,
The only time Max would miss someone is when he’s drunk and his aim’s off. Besides, you’re the Muse. Help me with the damned plot! Or I’ll have to go find another Muse…
Warningly,
the author.

Dear author,
Another Muse? My, aren’t we getting important these days? The rest are all booked for the coming month, as you well know. You’re stuck with me.
Amused,
Your Muse.

My FMC is an ordinary young woman. No special powers, nothing. She eventually runs into a demon. A couple of hundred years ago one of her ancestors made a pact with said demon, and now he's come to claim his ultimate price. The FMC.
My question is: how can she defeat him/get him off her back, permanently? She's no saint or anything like that.

Tinfoil makes a good prison
Oct. 25th, 2008 09:07 pmI've gone to the Kick Off party today. It was fun, to be with other people insane enough to write a novel in one month. Lot of books, lots of chocolate letters (St Nick's coming up), and we had enough to spell out National Novel Writing Month. I've heard that a couple of years ago the Municipal Liaisons gave out marbles, so that you'd still have some at the end of the month. This year we made Inner Editors. Mine has very long arms, because he's always interfering and trying to reach the keyboard. It's a better explanation than that I'm not that crafty. That is a big lie.
Hoot had a nice enough time as well. At least the pub was dark enough for him. He's hand-sized, so he travels along with me a lot. You never know when inspiration strikes after all.

I have screaming matches with my FMC. The current debate is about her sexual orientation.
Concerta: "I am not gay! My parents want me to marry a man, for crying out loud!"
Me: "You know as well as I do that your parents don't give a flying fuck whether you like men, women, both, or three-legged marsupials from Mars (as long as it's all consensual. They don't want the bad stench of a paedophilia-scandal). Besides, you never dated, ever. How would you know who you like?"
Concerta: "I just do. Now get out and stop trying to screw with my head!"
And in the background the villain's laughing his head off. Bastard. It's all his fault anyway, that I ma considering a lesbian line to my plot.
Concerta: "I! AM! NOT! GAY!" *slams her bedroom door shut behind her.*

Hurry up and get here!
Oct. 22nd, 2008 05:44 pmDearest dear antagonist,
For a potential killer and all-around fiend, along with denizen of Hell with a summer house near the Ninth Circle, you have been surprisingly helpful lately in getting the details about you clear.
Should I worry? I am not accustomed to devils being this helpful without seemingly wanting anything in return.

Dear author,
You are very welcome. No need to worry about anything. Just make sure I get what I want. If I don't, then it'll be time to worry.
The antagonist.
P.S My summer house is in Dis.

Dearest November 1st,
Be here already before I start breaking the rules and write.
Frustratedly yours (You know you own my soul already), Yattara
