Angie has probably already seen this! If not she should take a look. Thanks to ysabel for the link.

Everyone please welcome mconnor who is sort of skeptical of this LJ thing but willing to give it a try. (She is my sweety if you didn’t guess :) If you already know her RL or virtually from Pern etc. please give her a welcoming comment.

Thursday: Interview with some startup in Mountain View. I think they like me, but I’m not sure if I like them, or rather, if I would like to work for a startup and have no life again. Oh and the site melted at work while I was at the interview. Oh and Bruce is leaving, which is going to be good for him. Friday: Left work early to meet with a recruiter (“We have to meet before you can interview with them again” Ok Sure). Anyway it was my first time at the BART station in Millbrae (wow that thing is BIG) and it was my first BART ride in a long time. BART is cool, I wish it ran farther south, the crappiest part was driving 101 in the rain to get to Millbrae. ...

I traded in old invite codes for a coupon, and since I have a permanent account, I decided to share the love. I semi-randomly selected 9thmoon and arkady to get 2-month extensions (since you two were closest to expiring). Enjoy, and don’t forget to trade in those codes.

Time for another Weekend Report. Friday, stayed late at work, not because of any work I was doing, but because I was reading Spam-L and other anti-spam foo and lost track of time. Friday was a busy day but the rest of the week wasn’t. I think I got Baja Fresh and Pho take out because they were right near each other. On arriving home, watched TV and didn’t do much that was productive. ...

Here are 6 random things about me, to feed the meme that is going around… 1. I wrote 50K words for my novel in November. I probably will finish at some point; I estimate it is 2/3 done or so. Or, I might turn the story and setting into a campaign for D&D, who knows. 2. I have been married 11 years. I consider myself poly, but M is not, so I will remain mono for the forseeable future. ...

I win! Total: 50947 words That includes Notes: 5363 words but I don’t care, they are good notes. It doesn’t include two pages of family tree, one continent map, one half-of-city map, and makes no account for blood, sweat, and tears (well, perhaps it does with the sweat part).

47204 words.. I am so close. Unfortunately we have a second-thanksgiving type visit tomorrow and I will probably get next to jack done, so the remaining ~3000 will be cranked out late tomorrow night and Sunday.

Just finished a difficult bit of writing. Things should start going a bit faster after this. Here is a snip of it if you want to check it out. Lise said, “Perhaps you’re right, Ayden.” She turned on her side, propping up her head with her hand, bringing her nose-to-nose with him. “You made me feel better anyway. Thank you.” Then she kissed him on the cheek, and got up. “Good night, Ayden.” ...

After two meager (one might say “paltry”) nights of 522 and 748 words, tonight was better. It was all NOTES but there are 1100 more words of notes, all of them plot ideas. I will probably not include the “kidnap” plot in the finished product, because it was not really going anywhere (due to me not figuring out who the BAD GUY actually is or what he wants) and also because it involves the duke’s army riding out to rescue the kidnapped nobles and my main character is just along for the ride and not doign anything. ...
