*is a NaNo winner*



So I guess you probably noticed that I didn't blog yesterday. Well. I had a BRILLIANT excuse! *nods* Friday morning I still had ten thousand words to write if I wanted to complete this year's NaNoWriMo. I was doomed - well, I thought I was doomed at any rate. I'm pretty much all written out for the weekend, but rather than miss two days of blogging, I figured I post all of my status messages from the last two days or so. This covers two really good angles - one, I get to fill a blog, therefore only having my Missed Blog total stay a magnificant '1'. Two, posting my status updates from the last two days will probably explain what happened far better than any amount of rambling that I could possibly come up with. So, without further ado, I present...

Life Through A Facebook Lense (aka posting drivel to fill my blog).

Tara Smith  Various positions open for readthroughs. The pay is crap (nil), you'll need to be able to decipher Tara-Typos (bad for the eyes), but on the good side, there are only 8 chapters*. (Admittedly, chapter 8 is sort of looong *coughsover30kcoughs*) Job open for selected time only, with priority for Burrowing buddies ;)

  1. YES!

    Now: Champagne, ludicrous amount of fudge, shameful dollops of fatty foods, a deep bath lasting weeks, and Cardiff's finest Taffy Toffee.

    Celebrate!

  2. Tara - I knew you'd make it! Congratulations! I am very happy for you - next year I'll join you (and before then, hopefully I'll have finished BOTH my thesis and my current NaNo project that this time around had to wait for other obligations).

    Can't wait to read it! :)
