I didn't participate in the writing bit. Also, to be honest Im glad this month is nearly over.

Highlights this month included special funtimes with Mizsarah, Gabe, -j., Mace, and Nomi. And getting to see Ducky for Thanksgiving.

No i ended up being too busy to even really get at it

Welcome back, my friend. How is YOUR writing going?

@Eva: Didn't I see you this month at some point? Why was I not on the list? I am sad.

@TWIGBy: Do not blame you. It's a huge time-sink.

@-j.: I'm not back back. I think my relationship with GTI is check in every once in a while.
As for the writing, I am on page 111 of 120 as of last night. And with very little cheats, as there's only one full-page spread and one two page spread in the entire thing. The rest of it averages about five panels per page, and lots of (kidna crappy) dialogue.

@Bustie: see what happens when you don't let us nail your feet to the floor? A little foresight, Ché.

But well done on the writing, that's impressive as hell. Which concept did you end up writing?

I chickened out on novel writing this year. I'm lame.

While I didn't do NaNoWriMo (and probably never will, just not my bag), November was pretty awesome: turned 30, had a great party, got hired by some tech company that works with fruit, had a semi-successful date, and got to see the most important people when I went home for Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday.

Granted, the next two weeks will suck ass: 24-30p of papers due by next Friday, plus a final, and that's just school. Toss in work, the hassle of getting Christmas gifts on a grad school budget, and a root canal on Friday, and really, mid-December can't get here soon enough.

@-j.: Small Time San Francisco Mage/Graphic Designer versus a haunted wall of 1970's wallpaper. There's lots of cussin' and drinking and smoking and getting high and sex and nudity, but very little straight up action.

@Jay: Yeah, but it's a monster of a commitment. Even my thing, which was novel lite, still took up loads of my time.

@Muppy: Tech Company that works with fruit?

@Bustie - that was a coy, poor attempt to say I got hired by Apple. Not my smoovest moment.

Del Monte IT

Well.

Tech companies and startups work with everything these days.

Grats, yo.

Man I'm not talented enough to work in a tech startup, but thanks for the gratz.

Also, lulz @ Del Monte IT.

I work at a tech company too now! well since june. but whatever. its still new to me!

I kind of started my small writing goal but that definitely fell to the wayside. So, no. No novel. Not anywhere close to one.

Good food, good friends, wishin' I was out west, hospital scares with gran.

brain just won't seem to go back to the writing place it was in this time last year. It's getting irksome.

I didn't do nano this year, but my husband has been getting published left and right recently, so I take credit for all of that.
Crazy job life. I have a job offer in Portland, so I'm about to start living on a plane for a week until I decide.
It's nice when people come back, if only to check in. Coming and going.

howdy there bustie!
awesome job with the writing! every time you writers start talkin' about writing I immediately get this skit stuck in my head:

A Sat...
A Saturday...

@li'l p: that was awesome, and that is pretty much exactly what it's like.

@Chrome: oh dear...hope your gran is okay now!

Ohy goodness! You & Allison & Fife are totally on the list. All the aforementioned folk I was lucky enough to see more than once though. I missed out on you all compared to them. That's sads too.

Hug hug!

@-j. yeah, gran is okay now.

@Chrome: glad to hear it, my friend.
