☆ Is anybody planning to do Camp NaNo in July? I have some outstanding writing assignments that need work, so I'm definitely doing it. Probably going to aim for a low goal - 5K or so - since that's all that I really need to do. Maybe if others are doing it we could put together a cabin or something.

☆ My scroll wheel is broken and it's the MOST ANNOYING THING EVER.

☆ Whoops, somehow I completely forgot about Solstice, even with people on my tumblr dash posting so much about Kupala Night. WELL... just going to move the celebration to the weekend, then. xD Since I'm so solitary, everything is very low-key, anyhow. (Sometimes I feel like such a fake-ass pagan, but... well. It isn't really a big deal.)

☆ I caved and signed up for fandomgiftbox. WELL, WHY NOT. Can't bring myself to do exchanges right now, but this event is very low-key, even more so than Multifandom Drabble, so I think I'll be all right.

☆ Keep getting notifications in my car that one of my signal lights will need to be replaced soon. Oh boy. It's still working so far, but obviously I'm going to want to change it before it actually needs to be changed. I've looked up videos of how to do it, and it looks relatively straightforward, just a matter of setting aside time to do it....

☆ Man, the library is so quiet on Friday mornings. It's nice. Cozy. I got SO MUCH writing done today! Very satisfied with that. :)

☆ Looks like we'll probably have another thunderstorm tonight. It sounds like a good time to chill out, listen to classical music, and bake peanut butter cookies. I've been having trouble making myself just relax lately; even my "fun time" has to be scheduled. (It's an ongoing issue.) But if I can't go anywhere, well....

I am! And I'm thinking of putting a cabin together, if you'd like in. I am really enjoying the camp nano thing, actually.

[yuuago]

If you're already planning to put one together, I'd definitely like in, yeah. :D

Not going to lie, I do love Camp. It feels good to be able to set a goal that I actually have a realistic chance of meeting, heh.

I've been thinking about NaNo since I do have some writing goals to knock out this summer. I'd be up for a cabin.

Thunderstorms and baking sound delightful!

[yuuago]

Yesss. The July edition is great for tackling all that writing stuff.

The baking was really nice! I don't usually do much of it during summer because it makes the house so damn hot, but since it was rather chilly yesterday it all worked out.

ooh, I'd be down for it. There's lots to finish and I badly need motivation. Is it a set your own goal type of thing? (has only ever done nano, once, years ago)

I also ... took a look thru fandom gift box and thought there were a few nifty treat things to do. DX is there a word for having too much stuff on your plate but still eyeing the rest of the buffet tho you haven't even sat down to eat any of it yet?

[yuuago]

Yeah, for Camp NaNo, you can set any goal you want. :D It's very loosey goosey.

Haaa, I don't know if there's a word for that feeling, but it's sure familiar. Nice thing about Giftbox is there's no assignments, fic is minimum 100, and it's due some time in September. Unfortunately signups are closed now, but anybody can fill.

School's a bitch, but the creative writing (if this is not actually creative writing, I might cry) ties in with Nano well, so hopefully I'll be able to do it! I'll probably set a low goal as well though.

Noo! The scroll wheel is the most important part! Bad mouse. Bad.

The Solastice. I'm quite torn because it's the midwinter for me, and I'm... away... on that day... Good luck with your celebrations!

All these writing things don't swamp yourself...

Have your changed your indicators yet? You can probably get away with not changing them until your next WoF—"I didn't know"—but it's good to get ahead.

Hell yeah libraries!

I hope the thunderstorm was good! (and non-dangerous). Along those lines, I hope it gets easier for your to relax.

The nice thing about setting a low goal is that it's reachable. 50K is way too much!

My two ongoing writing projects aren't due until November, so I think I'll be fine. :D If I work really hard on them in the upcoming month, I think I'll be able to get them close to complete.

We got my signal light changed today, so now I don't have to worry about it. ;)

[thymolphthalein]

I think I lowered my goal to 500 words... 50K is too much!! (At least I've set a goal I KNOW I can reach...)

Have fun with your projects!! November might look innocent, but it'll sneak up on you!!

Good job! No WoF worries, then.
