Ugh

No internet for three days = no way for me to feasibly catch up on what/how you're all doing. So I throw it open to you:

How are you all? What have you been up to?

I can tell what I've been up to: hanging with Pip watching 80s movies and spending too much money (I should never go shopping with Pip, she's just a bad influence). Yesterday my parents and I attacked the back garden and it is now tamed and safe. I can get to the shed without the aid of a machete and a tent, which is nice. Except I never have any reason to go to the shed. I also spring-cleaned the house on Saturday, so everything is shiny and lemony-fresh.

I haven't much writing yet this weekend. That's what this afternoon is for - finishing the draft of
Moths. It currently looks like this:



 
5322 / 7000 words. 76% done!

I keep underestimating how long it's going to be (originally I planned about 5k), but since the word limit is 10k, I don't think I'm in danger of going over. After that I might get cracking on Silver Kiss, which has been burning me up ever since a certain housemate texted me the magic words "werewolf fight club" on Friday night.

I would if I were near a creek that had frogs in it. I could try to strap pigeons to my throat, but that might be as good as trying to huff rats for plague. Annnd there's been reports of Swine Flu in my state (two schools are currently shut down) and Hep A going around due to semi-dried tomatos. I don't eat those, thankfully. It's not even winter yet, WHY AM I GETTING SICK!?

I'm venting my frustrations on innocent soldiers in the Holy Land in Assassin's Creed and embracing the sneak-attack and leaping on people to stab them in the head.
