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!! :-)

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

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*

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!

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.

Also, that comm sounds awesome. Sadly, I can't write a thing *pouts*
