magpieandwhale said: Oh man, TOTALLY a good idea! Dream journals for the win. \o/
It’s true! I used to keep them and would write down all my dreams—I don’t so much anymore, but I miss that. They do make for really good seeds for stories, that’s for sure.

Well, all right then.
My dreams this morning involved me playing messenger girl to…someone, who needed me to go around and collect signatures from a Dalek, a Cyberman, and some random person on an airfield, to extend a contract that all three of them had with the Doctor, who just needed three more years to finish something. (Why a Time Lord can’t just use, y’know, time, is beyond me.) It also involved...

Holiday mail address request thingie
gallifreygal:
So, you’re following me. Hi! I would like to show my appreciation by sending you something nice (possibly a holiday card…most likely a holiday card). If you want something from me in your mailbox, please stick your preferred address in my Ask and we’ll see what transpires. I promise I won’t do anything unsavory with your mailing address (unless you want me to!).

TiLT: the thank-you thursday edition
Things I Love Thursday, on that holiday where we’re supposed to be extra grateful & think about that stuff.
Oh man, really? Everything. Seriously. Last night Patrick & I hosted a little Thanksgiving-eve dinner with Anna & Annie, & we went round the table (read: tablecloth on the floor) and said what we were grateful for, and honestly: I am so lucky.
I have an excellent...

the-phoenix-queen answered: I say write whatever the hell you want and keep all of the words. That’s what I always do, and nothing bad ever comes of it. GOOD LUCK! :D

augh, nano. tell me what to do, internets.
Still have not crossed the 30k line (though I’m close). But. BORED. So bored with this story, and writing what I feel is trite and dull & basically I don’t care.
I modified an original idea to what I’m doing now because I thought the original idea didn’t have enough heft to carry me through 50k and 30 days, but right now, I’m more into writing scenes from my poor...

TiLT: full of canines edition
Quick Things I Love this week:
*Puppies! I’ve been house/cat/dog sitting for friends of mine, and while the haul to get down there from my place is a bit long, I have to say on the other hand: DOGS. Two sweet dogs, one purring cat, so much animal company. I am glad to get back to my house tonight, though.
*Elves! Sugarplum elf rehearsal tonight — songs and dances. It’s a low...

Throw a scarf on Kingston Rossdale and you’ve got yourself a pretty convincing Fourth Doctor. Be still my heart.
(Yes, I made a Doctor Who reference. It’s timeless and British, like a Burberry trench coat or taxation without representation.)
