osoi Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 SPent today doing last minute cleaning in preparation for my wife getting back from Europe and recovering from running a tournament yesterday. I was needed as a ringer and boy I wish I had my pair of Wardens complete, they would have changed things a lot (made some tight games a lot easier). I have to say though the surprise model of the event for me goes to the Hunter, he kept pulling his weight and above in the gaes I used him, Ryle is feeling like dea weight at the moment and he has such a target on his head. Only have to finish off one archer and one torakage and my 10T are ready for paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Welp. And now it's time for the work week. >.> Oh well. How goes everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Heh, and I find myself back here again! I'm not bad, have decided to paint a little before sleeping. Looking forward to work? I have a night out with the other ToNaNos tomorrow, so I'll get to meet the lunatics involved locally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ah, very nice! Glad to hear that your area is organizing well. Erie isn't well put together for that. Any idea just how many of them there are? Work won't be too bad. Finishing up my reading for class during the off time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Quite a few I think, the RSVP thread for it is five pages long! But it is a massive city, so it's easier to organise group stuff. The space involved round your way is probably a bit more I imagine! Reading is good, especially when it keeps you busy during downtime. More prep work for an essay?

edonil Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Prepping for an essay and a quiz. The essay is only 300 words, so not too bad. I dunno, Erie's got at least a hundred thousand...just not a lot of writers in the area, I guess. That, and Erie doesn't have an area specific organizer, so that doesn't help. All set to get started on the 1st? Are you aiming for the traditional 1,667 a day, or +/-? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Going to go for an average of that a day, but I bet it will be in surges rather than a steady output! What about you? Yah, we're pretty centralised and have two organisers, so it should all work out neatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I think I'll try aiming for it. Works out to about two scenes a day the way I write. Although, with how much writing I need to do for class, I'll be happy to hit 30k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ah, busy month? Still, 30k would be a miracle in my eyes, I'm not in any way convinced ill make the 50k mark! I reckon writing every day might be the most productive, although you have a lot more discipline than I do with that kind of thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Heh, not really. This time of year is when I really hit my stride, and then Elle disappears for a few months! My goal is to do some sort of writing every day, and then keep at it after November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Oh dear, a vanished muse sounds horrendous! If Sophie went AWOL for a few months I'd go mental, she's about the only thing that keeps me distracted enough to stop me going stir crazy!

edonil Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yeah, it wasn't a whole lot of fun. On the upside, I have readers who are local this year and unafraid to yell at me if I don't finish the story! I'll be jumping back into it soon, just need to finish this homework first...I've got a scene started, developing out Arias and Kiiva some more, and then some ideas on another Faulkner scene. ---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ---------- You going to be sending out updates of your novel to anyone?

Mister Shine Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Good, just about recovered from my halloween party. But sadly lost a bunch of shifts this week. Life of a part timer I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 The good- I managed to win 2nd place at a Hordes of the Things tournament despite only having played two games before. Technically I got 3rd but the TO got 2nd. Got a nice bag o' evil 15mm creatures from Essex. I have to take back many of the bad things I said about the game- it's actually pretty good. The bad things about the writing, however, I will not retract. All I have to say is, find some experienced players and ask for a demo- failing a HotT demo, a DBA demo will give you an idea. The bad- between the other players' lack of availability and my trying to keep my own schedule from exploding, I apparently got booted from the playtest. Sent an email asking to stay on even if...well, I can't go further, but let's just say I want to continue to contribute, even if it's not as much as some other folks. The ugly- Had to take my girlfriend to the hospital tonight. Apparently a cyst that needs to be removed, thankfully benign and she's dealt with this before, so it should be routine.

edonil Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Oh, crap. I'm sorry to hear that about your girlfriend, man. Is she alright? Congrats on the tourney, though. And which playtest did you get booted from? Can you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 That's a woohoo, a damn, and an oh no, in that order Dust. Hope everything goes well for you both and it all gets sorted nice and easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Not bad. Work is okay, the textbook reading is becoming surprisingly difficult to stay on task. Oh well, almost done with it. After that, a couple quizzes and an essay, and the first week's assignments are done. And I know what you mean about not needing the car trouble...that's been my family the past month. Going to be expensive to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
