Rayana's Retired Topic from 2010
Hi Rayana! Good luck with your word goal. :] Hmm yeah, I'll have to read your story after I catch up on, like, a million others … haha :D
Hey guys 8D I'm hoping this year won't be a hectic one. I have state exams coming up, plus projects to the loads, and mucho tarea. Whoops, a little spanish slipped into there >-<.
ooh, good luck with exams and projects and homework and whatnot. i feel your pain. :P haha omigosh! i always randomly say phrases in spanish, too. lol.

I erased everything.
I'm so sad now."
O_O NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gah, I think I remember something.And i wish the website had an undo button or something...
Erk, now I have to do this all over again...
that happened to me once! i was at the library, and we have timed hour long things to be on, and i was writing last year's nano, and forgot to save, and then it logged out on me and i lost a whole chapter.
i lost a whole chapter of Edge once … it was really late at night too, which is when i get the most emotional. so i cried. hehe XD
that sucks. My computer likes to crash on me, then mess everything up, and then my flash drive likes to stop working, so at least once every week, I have to back up all my stories to a computer that's likely to crash again within a month.
I hate that. I'm super paranoid... I back up my computer to a flash drive. And a special thing made just for backing up called a Lacie disk.
I'm very paranoid too … I have like two copies of everything on my computer, plus copied onto a flash drive, plus the copy posted on goodreads. and sometimes a printed copy. haha :D
Thanks, Tink 8DAnd its almost the new year, everybody! Time to bust out the writing gear!
I am anticipating to get a jump back on My Life in a Ramen Cup. It's been abandoned for some time now. I"M SORRY DECEMBER..ahem -collects herself-
And once new year's rolls around, I'm going to have to put all my stuff where it 'ought to be. I think this little office is much better than my cavern back in Write in 2009. This feels more roomy.-stares out window which overlooks scenic Philadelphia-
I love this window, though, don't you think? It changes wherever I am depending on what I'm writing. All with a little twist of this knob -indicates to switch underneath teh windowsill pointing to a different color depending on which direction it is turned-
(Psst, don't tell anyone, but the idea was stolen from 'Howl's Moving Castle')
Hey guyses 8DIt's finally the new year, and I'm already behind, hehe. At least, I think I am..(which pry means I am)
Anyway, I am going to get a jump start on my writing tomorrow, seeing as I'll be sitting around in Drama Club tomorrow, it's a perfect time 8D
And now it's time to decorate...but I'll get to that later ^^;
How's it goin? -sits in Captain Kirk pose in highbacked chair- I mean...How are you doing, Michelle? -fakes an English accent-
grin, i'm okay. i'd be better if i didnt have to go to school tomorrow, but that's inevitable. and i'm writing.i recently acquired the book of poisons, and i am going to bring it to school to see how freaked out they get. *evil grin*
Yeah, I mean..I don't mind going to school, its just the learning part I'm loathing.Plus this project I have to get a jump start on...don;t even get me started,
Oooh, book of Poisons. What's that?
yeah, me, i just hate the school idea in general.its a book for writers on how to kill their characters w/poisons. it has a whole index of the poisons and the desired effects on people, as well as means of obtaining them, etc. twill be much fun.
Well, what can you do?Oooh, I want a copy. Not sure where I can put it to use, although I do have an idea for a NaNo story coming up...heeheehee
Yeah.Yep, and guess who stars in it? Jasmine XD Luls, the RP character was based off the inkling of the idea for NaNo.
XD Well, I would show you it..but I never got to writing it. We should have a mock NaNo...then maybe I'll get around to it.But then again, I have Life in a Ramen Cup..which I'm writing now.
I certainly hope so, Mimi.Gack! -falls back from chair- You scared me Fyopiagdt! Remember to knock four times! No more, no less.
Don't ask, its a show I watch. The man was supposed to die when 'he knocks four times'. But since I am not a Time Lord (you wouldnt get it unless you watch the show), if 'he' knocks four times, it insures my safety.SyFy nerds rule :)







But this year, I feel I must enforce my goals ever more strictly. My new agenda; to accumulate any lost words to the next day, even if it means having to write a thousand+ words in a single day. I'm sure I can do it, because I have before.
This year, i am setting no limits for my writing, as I am currently co-writing a fanfiction. Even in this piece of writing I am exploring my creative depths. But I also have a story at hand, My Life in a Ramen Cup (which I recommend you all to read :]), which I need to get writing more on.
I will not start until teh clock strikes twelve on December 31st. Until then, I will write and wait. Just write and wait.
Until then, I salute you, my fellow writers.
