The Eldritch Tomb of Unknowable Caffeine

Morning Cantina.

Lots of cooking was had last night, however most of it is for later in the week. And my squash risotto turned out...weird. But butter makes anything taste good.

Also, MRI tomorrow! Still not super excited, but am amused that I apparently get copies of the pictures. I'll have to work out something to do with them.

Good vibes for tomorrow

I suppose it is good to hear that other people here have had periods of non-writey-ness before getting back to kicking their fictional characters' butts and taking names for their characters.

Not that the prospect of being un-writey for even a year is even that appealing...

I don't remember how long mine lasted...it went in fits and starts, and then that thing called Life happened and kicked me in the writer pants last year. Funny how that works.

I did a little lunchtime writing. Every little bit helps on ye old word count.

I like all these stories of the writing horse, and getting back on it even if you were forbibly thrown off. My cockles, they are warmed.

This...doesn't sound right. Do you need us to make a trail of smibbles to lead you out?

Thank you. I had dwarves and dragons and pirates. It was super fun. Especially the dwarf in the camouflage cloak. I'm beginning to like him.

I'll top that up with 591, written while Eggheads was on earlier. Any more for any more?

I keep my cockles in that well. Just lean in a little further. :e2teeth:

My poor shovel! For lo, it has lain unused these long months.

slcboston · Mar 31, 2015

You know, you have to use those things or they get rusty.

Or at least give it a good oiling and sharpening.

milkweed · Mar 31, 2015

a friend was wondering this aloud, on facebook, on this fine day...

"Wondering if Yoda's last name is Lay-Hee-Hoo!!!"

Carry on... :evil

Yes, that is rust on the shovel. Red rust. Copious, red rust.

Caitlin Black · Mar 31, 2015

Sorry it didn't go so well, 10s.

I haven't written yet today (only been up for about an hour), but today is the first of April, so Camp NaNo writing will happen today. I'm looking forward to it!

*sigh*

Look, blade management 101. Always wipe it clean before you sheath it. Otherwise bad things happen.

I wrote a book on how to dye fabric and paper with rust and have several free articles on the technique as well... you can make some really exciting designs dyeing fabric and paper with rusty tools, spikes are my favorite! :evil

The best part, my techniques won't ruin your tools and they will get your tools nice and clean!

Good evening Cantina!

It actually felt like spring today. It seems like the weather is finally starting to behave according to the season. About time.

Surprisingly, I wrote more while I was at college. It's just within the last two years that my desire has evaporated. Who knows. Maybe it'll suddenly come rushing back one day. Until then, I remain wordless.
