1. I currently have five, no, count them, five snowflake cookies in my profile! Guys, seriously, stop being so awesome, I don't know how to deal with it! *beams* Thank you so much!!! ♥ It made my morning here at work, okay?

2. I have three stories in beta, oh god. ETA: that should be two stories in beta and working on finishing the third. We're calling the first sentence pre-breakfast wishful thinking. They are my patented Awful Early Drafts, so I don't envy anyone trying to make sense of them. (My writing process looks a little like this: start with the equivalent of a finger painting of the story you hope to get to, have someone tell you what's wrong with it, and then go through a series of increasingly improving drafts until the last one hopefully looks a little like what you were trying for.)

3. bunnymcfoo is collecting money to buy clothes for a youth shelter over here. They need warm clothes for winter, you guys! Last year she raised over 3000 dollars--this is a fantastic initiative, and as long as my student aid check arrives before Christmas, I will certainly be donating.

4. I won't be around much in the next two weeks. I have a technical translation, a philosophy paper, lots of reading, and three stories of varying lengths to finish, and I have to work forty hours, too. So if you see me, tell me to go do work. If you need me/want to tell me something/feel like babbling, email: homeless dot sky at gmail is your best bet. Love!

I'm kind of going to need it, especially regarding the motivation to write two philosophy papers--one is due in January, but still--I don't want to do anything for that class ever again.

But ♥, my darling, I appreciate the good wishes.

PS. I'm at work, so I'm technically not procrastinating. Except for on work-related things. Um.
