1_million_wordsThe dog is out, fed, back in. The cat is fed and watered. The coffee is poured. I have 380 411 comments in my inbox to go through. It's Monday.
While the glow of 15 million words, and OMG WE MADE IT, is starting to wear off; and the pressure of OMG we have to do it again is starting to build with the what the hell am I going to do for rare pair; I'm still getting a contact high from the WE MADE 4 MILLION WORDS LAST MONTH! It's still so very awesome!
My house is clean, my heat is working, and my car is working (Knock on wood). Those have been the personal hurdles that I've been dealing with for the last three weeks, and it's beautiful to have them behind me now and move forward to the awesomeness that will be the rest of the year!
The Weekend challenge seems to have done exceptionally well. We had successful word wars as well. The Birthday Challenge went up, as did the 2015 Brag Book. And![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
haldoor explained a bit about what we're up to this year as well as posting a Friending Meme. It's been busy.
I want to take a minute to thank everyone for their patience with getting the year set up. For those of you who have been with us from the start I know it seems like we're always behind setting up the year, and that's because we are. ;) We try to get a start on it, get organized, ask for volunteers, and then we hit the 'down to the wire' part of our year end and all the energy goes there. Then, suddenly, it's the new year, we're exhausted and not ready. So stick with us a bit longer, we should have most everything in place by the end of this week.
My plans for the week are to set up most of my comm posts for the week today, hire a new office assistant at work, and find a rare pair to write! It will all be awesome! What are you all up to?

Date: 2016-01-11 04:08 pm (UTC)I then intended to do a fair bit this morning...but dropbox is being a pain...and last night's bad news has taken over my brain...so not doing much creatively this morning either.
not sure how next weekend's going to fare, since I have a lot of driving to do sunday...and prepping to do Saturday...to be with my daughter Monday for her C-section and the arrival of baby #2. I suspect I'm going to be distracted most of this week, and busy most of next...so my intended word count for the month is probably going to be missed...
ah well...Real Life...what can we say?

Date: 2016-01-11 04:25 pm (UTC)I'm still freaking sick and am done with it. Plus, I have an added bit of a personal burden to deal with (which I'm not dealing very well with soooo...). Ask me again later, I might actually have accomplished something by um, Wednesday.

Date: 2016-01-11 04:47 pm (UTC)I had a very good writing weekend, so I'm hoping to keep up the momentum. I have two fics due this week, so those have first priority, but I'm hoping to also crank out some words here and there on a couple of my WIPs. I really want to get a lot of those finished this year, since most of them are fics I actually really like.
I do have one deadline this week for work, but I don't think it should be too bad. Hopefully. *crosses fingers*

Date: 2016-01-11 09:22 pm (UTC)Last week Went both up and down, though I'm ahead if my goal so far, so that is good. My knitting is okay, a Little - to that one person I did leg warmers to didn't seem to appricate my effort (she had ordered them of me, but not given size she wanted or an date, so I did them as I estimated), it was redemt (?) from Another which had ordered a glove (as he lost one in a pair he bought from me earlier) he wanted to pay it even if I said he didn't need to as I had the chance to come to a friend last year).
My weekend Went in the pain, due to I overexersised/did things Little too much to what I usual can handle. But I want to show me good and it was needed to do.
My Writing goes forward and I really try to post my Instagramed Project each day this year and then bring my Word Count up.
If time and I managed to sit longer I hope to make some of my started stories done.

Date: 2016-01-11 09:48 pm (UTC)I have managed some good words over the last couple of nights for Rare Pairs, and I really hope to get that WIP finished for this month - it's at 8K, so here's hoping I'll get it done in about 12K or less!
The rest of this week has me looking at baking cookies for a post-wedding BBQ on Sunday, and then making sure I have a Weekend Challenge lined up for this weekend, as we travel south for a family wedding on Sat. morning and won't be back till Sun. night.
And I think that's it for now!
