Accomplishments

— August 23, 2010 (8 comments)
I feel a little weird just jumping back in with a post on writing, so here are some things I accomplished in the last two weeks:
  1. I did not die. Surprisingly, no one else did either.
  2. I discovered the most awesome Lando Calrissian ever:

  1. My wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. We even got to go out!
  2. I learned that no matter how many toys you have, Children A, B, C, and D will always fight over the one Child E has. (I already knew this, but I learned the theorem scales to any number of kids).
  3. J. J. DeBenedictis enriched my life with this tiny, fully-functional cannon.
  4. I discovered this guy's videos. They're kinda hilarious.
  5. I had a weird/awesome dream about Dr. Horrible.
  6. I learned how to say "Don't be bossy" in Thai. Repetition is key.
  7. After a month's forced vacation (that only partially had to do with the new kids), I finally added 2,600 words to Cunning Folk.
  8. I did not hear from a single agent.
There, I hope that's thorough. If it's not, we can do an informal question/answer session in the comments.

  1. Lando! OMG that was funny. Is it just me, or does "Han" sound like Capt. Reynolds from Firefly?

    Also: repetition is key for most everything with kids.

    You exceed awesome by adding words to your WIP!

    So my question is: Are you really a cyborg from the future? Because it doesn't seem possible that you could do all that and, you know, not have anyone die.

    :)

  3. I'm glad you didn't die, but I'm sorry about the agents. Maybe they're on vacation? *sigh*

    You've had a busy month.

  4. @Susan: The awesomeness with regards to word count goes to my wife, who still gives me 2 hours a day. I'm not a cyborg, but I might be a clone. We're looking into it.

    @Natalie/aspiring: Thank you!

    @Myrna: Well, except for partials, the last queries I sent out were about 2 months ago. I plan on implementing Air Pirates Plan B very soon.

    @JJ: Very much, yes. So did many of my Facebook friends :-)

  5. I finally added 2,600 words to Cunning Folk.

    You are officially my hero.

    Five kids and he's wondering if he's been thorough enough! I'd be pulling out my hair.

  6. I don't pull out my hair (too short), but I yell more than I'd like.
