Writing and vids

[gothikmaus]

The pseudo-NaNo project is going slowly, but I've always been a very slow writer, so that's not surprising. The positive thing is that I've worked on it every day this week, even if it was just to add a couple of paragraphs in the middle of the night. If I manage to keep it up, I may even have a chance at finishing, if not by the end of November, at least within a couple of months. It's a bit of a Penelope-project, meaning I write a scene one day (typically at night) and rewrite half of it the next morning/afternoon. I know that's not the right method, I should just keep writing and go back to editing when I'm done, but editing actually helps me getting started, so instead of just staring blankly at the screen for half an hour, I reread what I already have. Baby steps are better than no steps at all.


Sooo faaar awaaay...

My two mini-articles were published in the newspaper! One of them was just a random piece of local news, but the guy I talked to sent us a brilliant pic, so it ended up on the front page. XD I also did some editing for a few articles written by another girl and got to use XPress. I like having something to do, although I'm not sure when (or even if) they'll pay me.

Random video moment:

1) Someone posted this at shkinkmeme. I don't think I need to explain:

Beach Rumble from Alec Lourmier on Vimeo.

2) I found this link somewhere on tumblr, Benedict Cumberbatch being adorable:
