40

[izmeina]

Izzie squees and hisses and does happy nano dance! Hit the big 40,000 only just now so that makes about 5 days since the start of the month that the serpent actually exceeded the daily expectations
Last Thursday and Friday should have been among them but that was before the Big Bad Freeze
Google docs was playing nice today for a change
But the serpent soul wasn't!
Usually the problem is to have all the words and ideas but being unable to get them down due to sucky muggle technology and piles of spinning bouncing beachballs of doom

Today was the day of hitting the infamous Wall - but there was 3,000 words that had to be conjured out of somewhere. Yesterday was all the S**** slash, contents of nonexistent books and incidents in Room 666. But any more of that and folks will be thinking Izzie is channeling a certain cat ;)
So the Izzie just got out the dark deck of doom and picked out the 16 or so cards that never did turn up during the course of the story and started writing descriptions and stories to go with each one. Not just what's happening but what the critters may be thinking and what is going to be happening next. The inner serpent should be able to get some leads out of that stuff. Will sleep on it and see
Got about 3,000 words out of that and if the muses do not arrive with some pink and fluffy padding for tomorrow, will go digging back in that deck and go through every one of the other 60 something cards if need be. No need to separate the subtle from the gross. It's all good ;)
(Last time Izzie tried to type that particular sentence - Google decided to interpret it to mean 'It's all gone' and proceeded to annihilate the whole 30 something thousand words accumulated up to that point. Not exactly confidence inducing. Thank God for python paranoia about backups

Re: Nano nuttiness

[ozfille]

And there is so much nuttiness in the real world or rather the world of the Federal Opposition to look forward to after their major implosion this week. The Mad Monk as Opposition Leader backed by Iron Bar Tuckey and creatures of similar ilk, like Senator Abetz. A double dissolution beckons as the Opposition keeps opposing for opposing sake. I don't think any of them have really accepted that they are in Opposition and are behaving as arrogantly as they did when in power. Considering their current level of disarray that won't happen for a long time yet.

Slippery creature Abetz - got out of the Senate enquiry into Utegate as did the awful Godwin Grech.
