"with Peter Jones as The Book"

[whitereflection]

As a nod to '42' day yesterday, listened to my CDs of the Hitchhiker's Guide BBC radio productions. Phases one and two, that is. I remember in college a buddy I tabletop gamed with telling me about listening on the radio, and him giving me cassette tapes he'd made of the broadcasts. It's a weird sort of 'comfort' thing.

Have signed up for mini_nanowrimo. Only the bare minimum, 100 words per day. The amount of words won't be what I have to struggle with, but the concept of doing so for 30 days. I've never written for 30 days in a row before. If I'm "up", it won't be difficult, but the challenge will come when I'm feeling like I have been for the last few days, very low and/or tired. Hoping to see if it can be a sort of training exercise for developing writing habits in general and not just when I'm 'sparked', and to learn to work through bad mood swings.

Moment of SPN fan pride--have gotten two of my longtime WoW friends to start watching. One's Netflixing, so she's only on like the second disk of 1st season, but seems to be enjoying it. The other has just finished s2 and is about to start 3--and said while he liked it, it was the episode "Heart" that made him go "Damn, this is good." This makes me full of fan happiness.

daily_wincest, dailyjsquared, and j2_recs have been giving me some happy. Sad that some are comms that have been around awhile and I'm just discovering them.

'The Price of Justice' by keerawa, PG, 6.03 coda, 300 words. So very good and insightful. Her grasp of characterization is just so amazing.

Thanks so much for the rec!

I've done wrisomifu for the past few years, but maybe I'll try mini_nanowrimo this year ... decisions, decisions.

Hehe, after that Bloody Mary one, I might never watch again. :P Okay, slight exaggeration, but I do have a funny story to tell you about what happened because of it when I get home. (don't feel like typing it out on my phone) :P

I'd been looking forward to wrisomifu after you mentioned it earlier this year, but since it looks like they're not doing it again (aww :( ), I let my interest be piqued by mini-nano. Still would prefer wrisomifu, I have to say. More fitting of my writing abilities and with much more my attitude, heh. :p
