Well, if I know my tech right then what happened last month can also happen this month if our bandwidth keeps getting used up at the same rate. Hence the 'for now'.

Horrible. I'm pretty sure it's the worst garbage I have ever written, but I'm not allowed to delete it. My sister said she'd cause me bodily harm if I did lol

Heh, sounds like it has at least one fan already.
One writer once compared garbage writing to manure, okay, it still means it's basically crap, but use it right, let it compost and beautiful things can grow out it later on. It was kinda obvious she was a gardner but there's something to say for it. |

Your fourth completed NaNo? That's not shabby. Congratulations!
But yeah, usually when I write a first draft, I have to let it lie a long period too before I want to continue. |

I still haven't picked up the NaNo novel I wrote 2 years ago to edit. That one has a plot hole that can be a character lol

That would be a novelty, though, having an actual plot hole as a character. You might be on the cusp of a new literary revolution!
I've joined a Secret Santa story-swap on another board. I haven't written in ages, not even RPG-posts. I expct I'm going to be so very rusty. Let's hope writing is like riding a bicycle and is something you don't really un-learn, but I'm thinking not... |

Well, in ancient Buddhist art, it was considered blasphemous to portray the Buddha so he was just an absense - an abandoned-looking ship for instance.

In psychological tests, they make you look for what's not there in the pictures. IT's actually harder than you'd think!

You forgot another important piece of the decoration, Val: Santa Treebeard! I'll get his costume out of the locker at the mod's forum.

Twelve inches of snow in Casper, since it started yesterday afternoon. And it's still coming down this morning!
Get me something nice and warm. And a big bowl of hot soup to go with it! A seat by the fire, a warm blanket...
