Two Monday turns on time; it's unheard of!
YES! Something is going right for me! Last time K asked me to do this, I actually managed to get it done on time, and OMG, here I am again! There must be something in the water...
So, how are you all doing? I am sick, sick, sick of work, but otherwise healthy (we won't mention allergies). I still haven't actually written anything fictiony this year, but as luck would have it, I pulled out my graphics brain in September and made all of THREE icons! Woot, go me. HA! Compare to the wonderfulness that is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
severina2001 and itsanonyx, who both gave us incredible graphics numbers this month, that is positively slack, but for me, it's amazeballs!
And if you are Big Buddying, you have just kicked off into October so the percentage to aim for is around 9% of your monthly total. How are you doing? Hitting the mark or still need a kick to get you there? You still have plenty of time to catch up, anyway! Hit the previous posts for more prompts if you need 'em!
Speaking of prompts, I am far too lazy these days to find you links, so get scrolling, or find the appropriate tabs to see the Word of the Day, Numbers, A-Z, Weekend Challenge, our current long challenge Crossovers, or any other of our wonderful regular posts to find some cool and groovy prompts to inspire your Muse, if you need 'em!
Your Flash Challenge for today is: Flying high! Whether that's high on drugs because your character has been kidnapped or had their drink spiked for evil purposes and is about to take drastic measures to escape, or they're a pilot who has just avoided a crash landing, or maybe your character has just joined the mile-high club, or is just sitting down to their favourite movie, Top Gun (substitute as needed!), then come on! We want to hear that story! One hundred words or a thousand, we want to see it! Or maybe it's graphically inspiring to you in some way? Pat yourself on the back if you make it and share it with me or the wide world!
What's left? Oh, what will you do this week to make more awesomeness in your life, and coincidentally, more words for us here at 1MW? I cannot say, at this point, that I have great plans to make words, but I do have some Christmas gifts to continue crocheting, so here's hoping I can get those numbers up where I want them, and also get to make more of my Christmas cards! It's only 12 weeks till the 25th Dec, so it's time to get moving on them!
And before I forget, let's remember to thank each other for our awesomeness! THANK YOU, each and every one of our members, as without you, we'd be nothing! *hugs*
Have a great week, everyone! ;-)

That flash challenge has me wanting to hunt down Iron Eagle now. Hahaha.
Not much else going on here. Hoping to move into our new office next week. Took a tour of it on Friday and it's soooooo nice.
We really are a great bunch here.
no subject
ha! I'd laugh if I knew what Iron Eagle is...
Oooh, new offices all around, I say! They are telling us here we are 90% likely to move into a brand spanking new office somewhere between April and June next year, so that's pretty exciting at my end. NEXT WEEK for you is even more exciting!!! Yay for it being nice!!! I can't wait to see ours, but they won't even 100% confirm we'll go there (even though it's looking pretty likely).
WE SO ARE THE BEST!!!

It's a movie with a similar theme as Top Gun. After looking yesterday, I saw it came out in the same year, although I don't know which released first.
YES. Oooh, that'd be wonderful if you guys do get a new office! I'm extra excited because they'd planned to do a remodel and expansion of the office we're in now about 10 years ago. Then the economy tanked and they put it off and never picked it up again. It's time. And time for you, too, I'm sure!
YAY US!

I'm sure I can speak for all of us when I say that you're amazing, my dear, for all the work you put into this wonderfully lasting comm, regardless of rather you're succeeding in making any actual fictional words of your own or however many or little icons you make!!!!
Although I know the feeling -- three icons DEFINITELY is a MAJOR WIN sometimes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm still thrilled I'm back to making art myself! LOL
All the best to you and our dear Kaige always!!!!!!!!!!!
no subject
Thanks so much for the kind words! It definitely helps having that encouragement! Yay to you to for getting back into making art!
and THANK YOU again! ;-)

Where is this year going? Christmas made me think.... time to figure out cards!
I've been fairly awesome at some things. I've gotten out for three 5k races in the last four weeks, and might do one next Sunday. I've been knitting consistently- some headbands and fingerless mitts that I'm going to make more versions of as gifties this next little bit. Also knitted myself some winter house sock/booties which will be nice and comfy for the weeks ahead.
Words- well, I'm back to doing more editing than writing, but I have a few things I'd really like to wrap up and post. And I have to find a way to break out of the 'sitting at the computer meaning to write but giving up and just web surfing' trap. I'm good at falling into that lately. Ah, well.
no subject
Your awesomeness is boundless! Good work on the 5k races! And yay for all the knitting too!
OMG, I know that feeling so well. Good luck on getting things posted! ;-)

*huggles* 3 icons is still awesome. :o)
no subject
And double-thanks on the icons - it was something, so I am very pleased! ;-)
