I dun good and WRITING

[twasadark]

Okay, first the important news. My cockatiel mama now has THREE EGGS in her nest box!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Aren't you hysterically excited just like me????  What?  You're not??  LOL  In other bird news, I'm now the proud owner of 4 more cockatiels and 2 canaries after attending the local bird show on Sunday.  It's really hard to take pics of birds through their cage, which is why these suck, but here's a couple of piccies of the canaries:

Action shot!!



The male is yellow and the female has this little tuft of shaggy hair atop her little birdy head. Sooooooooo cute!!  I think I'll call her Mo after the Stooge with the bowl haircut.  Except that I always hated him.  Anyhow, aren't they amazing??  :-)



Okay, enough of that.  I managed to write EVERY SINGLE DAY during themini_nanowrimo !!!  Okay, a couple of days it was EXCRUCIATING, and I only got 60 words done, but for the most part, I exceeded my goal of 100 words a day by 3 or 4 times, and many times I wrote even though I thought I had nothing to say .  Lookie loo:


Along these lines, I've decided to set up a writing community to debut January 1, 2009.  The idea is to support myself and others to write EVERY SINGLE DAY, on any sort of project - fanfic, original fic, nonfic, school essays, whatever.  I'm a writer, dammit.  I have to stop letting myself procrastinate my life away.  I've proved to myself that I can write every day despite the fact that I'm afraid it will be crap, blah blah blah.  Anyhow, please consider joining.  thedailywriter

And please pimp it!! :-)

Aw, how cute! And new comm sounds great, definitely joining.

Great! I admire how dedicated you are to writing - even taking it in school!

I thought procrastinating our life away was our mission statement...

Your female canary looks like Moe. LOL

I'll join. God knows I need help with motivation.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

LOL. She's so cute in a way Moe never really was, though. :-) Thanks for joining! Now I just have to figure out what to propose to the community!

Your birds are gorgeous.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thanks! They do make me ridiculously happy. &hearts

Hun I wish I had that determination
I didn't manage to write everyday but I'll try with the help of your comm
What's on Jan 2009?
Congratz on the cockatiels. I'm excited, too as if they were mine
*hugs*

Great! If we shoot for the stars we might not make it, but we'll at least be going places, right? :-)

Animals are so amazing. I must confess that much of the time I like them better than people, LOL. People are so high-maintenance! Animals at least are simple.

Cockatiel eggies~ Are you going to be handraising the babies? Because I'mma wish you luck right now if you are. ♥ Suckers are little bastards sometimes. And the male is going to try to BITE YOUR HEAD OFF when you take them away, ahahhahaa.

I'm glad you're enjoying your birds, though. *g*

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

I haven't yet decided about handraising them yet. I think they'll hatch before Christmas and I'll be out of state for a few days over the holiday. LOL about the male - I actually think that the female will try to peck my eyes out. She seems very protective right now.

I do love the little critters. And not fried and dipped in ranch dressing as my hubby keeps suggesting. :-)

[joans23.livejournal.com]

I absolutely adore canaries! These are gorgeous!
And congrats on mini_nanowrimo!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'll have to find a canary icon! :-)

[smilla02.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, doll, for making it. You rock hard time!
I love the new community and I'll join it, I need the poke to write every day especially now that we're close to holidays season and can get distracted.

p.s. I was trying to catch up with my flist and read someone post to wish you happy birthday, and I wanted to give you my wishes, too, even if belated.
♥
I hope you had a beautiful day full of all the things you love and deserve and a wonerful year to look forward to!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad you'll be joining the comm. I think it will help ... I hope so, anyhow. :-)

Thanks for your kind wishes about my birthday. It was a really good day, full of animals and family, with a trip to the beach at the end. I can't ask for anything better than that.

Wow that writing comm sounds really interesting! I think I might join ;)
I know what's like. I want to write more, have told myself that very often, but then I have times where I don't write at all and life just sucks even more. Writing for me is a form of therapy for me.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know what you mean about writing being therapy. I'm always proud of myself when I finish something, but sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get to that point! :-)

[wiccaqueen.livejournal.com]

Yup sometimes it's like that too!
For me it's just that I often feel relieved when I write, like all the stress just runs out of me.

[birggitt.livejournal.com]

YAY!!! MORE EGGS!!!! THAT'S... WOW!!!!!
And more birds, too =D I always ♥ canaries.
Also, that comm sounds awesome. Sadly, I can't write a thing *pouts*

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

I love my cockatiels, but the canaries are so so cute!! They hop around so happily. And they like to take a bath in their water dish every morning, lol.

LOL about your icon. Just perfect!

[ajcaddick.livejournal.com]

I joined. :D sounds like a cool idea.
