Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

The Great Write Way, Chapter Two: Twice upon a time...  

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I like it.

Eta: halfway through my daily allotment of NaNoWriMo words. This is gonna suck, I can tell. But in a good way. Um, not meaning porn. It's possible that this project is already robbing me of my ability to communicate.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Oh my god the utter crap I am writing. But I've written 2000 words! Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming... what do we do? We swim!

1800 words. Now I can go wash my dishes. Whee!

Thrive to spite them

I'm not going to do NaNo this year, but I was going to write about 300 words each day (right now I'm writing nothing) but I got distracted.

I'd like writing about the scavenger hunt pictures!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'd love the idea, myself, if the photos speak to people.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

That does sound like fun, Deena. Having a picture to start from often offers more than a single prompt for me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think this guy had to stay up late nights to think of reasons to be pissed. I would also like to assemble a gang of what he calls "real" writers to go shoot him in the face.

Always Anti-fascist!

(loads nail gun) You can fuck somebody up with that, and there's no recoil. A Real Writer taught me that. Honestly, I think NaNoWrimo is kind of silly(although if there was as much groping and hand-jobs as he suggests, I might have stuck with it!) But so...it's silly. Who am I? The Silly Patrol? It doesn't hurt anyone, and might help somebody come up with a good idea. I only wish I had room to let that piss me off.

I only wish I had room to let that piss me off.

Always Anti-fascist!

Just because I'd have no problems. Not that he isn't a special kind of asshole. I'm honored "The House Next Door" blog made me a Link of The Day. And I woke up today thinking "You loser. What are you *doing* with your stupid life." Validation is important on a day like that.
