2018 June, extra session, Day 26

Here is the place to tell us about your daily success (or the lack of it)!

May the magic be with us all!


Sorry for the late update. I spent the whole afternoon at the dentist's.

Not much today, but Tuesdays are usually my short day.

“What do you mean the bathroom toilet is stopped up?”

Rocky adjusted his apron, self consciously. No one had thought to pick up their drycleaning until it was too late. They had been able to get together enough linens for the tables and guests, but the rest weren’t avaiable. “Illya thinks it’s roots. He has the pumber coming on Tuesday.”

“And what do we do until Tuesday?”

“We’ll just have to deal with one.” Napoleon stopped. “Is that legal? I mean, for us?”

Rand shrugged his shoulders. “That would be a Chef question. Oh, and the salamander is down... again.”

“We have a sick newt?”

Rand looked pained. “It’s a sort of oven. You use it to grill or carmalize the surface of something.”

“Can it be fixed?”

“Don’t know. Chef just usually wiggles something.”

“I bet he does.”

Napoleon's mistake was thinking that it was easy. Running a restaurant is not easy.

Humor in the face of disaster! Very good:)

It's all Napoleon has right now.

Well, those as well. :D Yes, they need to get is permanently fixed.

Definitely a success. *smiling at the Hungry, Hungry Hobbit*

Hey, a page is a page - congrats!

It's like when my MFU muse went into hiding following a bad fannish experience. Then, one day I sat down and just started writing again. It was like meeting up with an old friend. :D

[identity profile] spikesgirl58.livejournal.com 2018-06-27 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Happily, it only happened with MFU and only once. I've been lucky that way.

lol Appetite of an average Hobbit. True, though.

The economics of questing - not something you usually hear much about!

I have managed some writing every day, but I know I'm not going to make my goal of finishing my WIP by the end of June Pico.
So I'm moving the goal line. Actually, I've removed the goal line! I'm just going to keep plonking away:)

[identity profile] akane42me.livejournal.com 2018-06-27 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to have the extra nudge from Pico from the June session. It's hard to believe, July is nearly here.

There you go. Isn't it great that there are some things in life you can do that for?

RE: Checking in

[identity profile] akane42me.livejournal.com 2018-06-27 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, it is a great (and convenient) thing. It's become the oldest established permanent floating finish line on LJ!

Where's the action? Where's the game?

Gotta have the game or we'll die of shame.

Nathan would be proud.

Some writing every day is a very good achievement!

I should be spending more time with it, but I'm glad I have done a bit most days.

Today I have been very determinedly working on the walk report I've been pottering at for days - just over 2000 words, and I'm exhausted. But my snippet was one of the first things I wrote, on the bus to work this morning, just to make sure that I had it!

The track shown on the map turned out to be really just a worn bit along the edge of a field, behind a locked gate, and it wasn't a right of way, but I was long past caring about any of that, or even the fact that there was something very large, cows or horses, lurking invisibly in the dark and presumably wondering very much what I was doing there. It was quite overgrown by the hedge, but I made my way through, and was very glad to meet a gate with the YHA sign at the edge of the woodland in the river valley, and a clear track leading down to the hostel.

Thanks :-)

Your walk is so much fun to read about!
And adventurous:)

[identity profile] ylla.livejournal.com 2018-06-28 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
A bit too adventurous, that bit :-)

But it was great fun, and I'm really enjoying reliving it.

Hope the dentist wasn't too bad.
I had to deal with a work thing this morning (funny that, at work, dealing with a work thing), so didn't get any writing done. But I've been thinking about it, and that totally counts. :D

[identity profile] adafrog.livejournal.com 2018-06-27 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Silly work.

Oh good. Poor mom.

[identity profile] akane42me.livejournal.com 2018-06-27 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I hate it when we have to work at work!
I hope you'll remember all the brilliant things you wrote in your head:)

[identity profile] adafrog.livejournal.com 2018-06-28 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly!

Thinking about it is very good preparation :-)
