Today's Hilarious Forum Topic: Please give me a very bad disease. Just for the title alone.

(Somebody contact my mother and tell her to stop calling me right before midnight. Seriously.)

Today I went to the write-in Nagoya hosted at Mondo Lounge. I'm impressed with myself for being able to find it on the first try without getting lost at all! I was the second person there  but more people came later, and the ML brought brownies~ There was also popcorn...and wine, but I wasn't in the mood so I passed on that.

I got  a whopping 500 words done in the two hours I stayed. Mostly because you know, when you get a bunch of people together, we're going to talk. A lot. Or at least in my case I'm going to listen if I'm not talking. And it didn't help that I had no idea what I was trying to do with the scene I was on.

Back to my regularly scheduled writing. Still aiming for 3k a day. And I have the next two days off. Easy peasy...right?

Today's Hilarious Forum Topic: 300 Ways To Say Said Said-bookisms wank? YES PLEASE. (Also, new dare for all you nanoers...have a character "ejaculate" some dialogue. Please?)

As you can see, I got caught up to my goal! (Apparently my goal is 3k a day this year. Who knew?) Almost didn't though. At 11:15 my mother called me on Skype and it was almost the end of the world as we know it. But I got to see my kitty and that's totally worth it, right? RIGHT?

I broke 13k at 11:58. Lord.

Tomorrow is the one write-in I'm attending this year in Nagoya. I've never been to the place where it's at before, but when you've lived in Japan three times you get pretty savvy at finding places. (Especially when part of your job is...aimlessly following maps trying to find places.) Luckily the place is a used English book store and they have a website in English with glorious directions in English (although I'm pretty savvy at Japanese directions now.) The ML said something about baked goods and uuuuh yes please. Hope they don't mind me showing up with all my shopping goods because any trip to Nagoya means two things 1) CD shop + 100 yen store and 2) POKEMON CENTER OMG. Especially since I just got paid last week and haven't done much yet. So expect tomorrow's post to be all about the write-in!
