Pumpkins and wordcounts
Nov. 1st, 2006 05:05 pmMom and I used one of those patterns they sell in Michael's and the like and then added these clear plastic marble-things made especially for sticking in pumpkins. Doesn't he look good? And we didn't even have the correct carving tools that came with the pattern! (We found them five minutes after it was done. They were inside a box of tea lights, which is what we use for illumination. Sigh.)

In the past two days, I've written over 3,000 words of fic. Um. Yay? I was just writing down discrete snippets of things, usually no more than 500 words each, so I guess that helped with the phenomenal (for me) wordcount. (I'm so ADD when I write. Seriously, it's ridiculous.) But I have three separate plotty things that could turn into biggish fics. One of them is a crossover. (Northern Exposure and Ballykissangel. That one has to be done by somebody. It's TOO EASY!)
Sadly, none of these words were for the novella I'm writing. Oh, well; variety is the spice of life and all that, so maybe this little detour will get me back on track for that.
