So, Yeah: The “HELLO” Edition

[railenthe]

I’m going for another word sprint today.  I set myself up for half a failure when I set a goal of 4k words a day, I realize, but I also realized a few other things during the last three sprints:

• I write better either heavily caffeinated or slightly drunk.  HELLO BOTTOMLESS LATTES.
• I can quite easily make 2k words a day if I sit down and actually sprint in bursts of an hour and a half at a time.  HELLO PROGRESS
• I am most productive when I am supposed to be sleeping. Of course this means morning grogginess.  …HELLO BOTTOMLESS LATTES.
• Video game music remixes done in the style of a theatrical score are positive catnip for the muses.  HELLO BLACK OMEN REMIX.
• Heavy writing is, despite the amount of sitting on my narrow ass, does count as a physical activity…if the way I feel wiped out after a surprise 4k sprint is any indication.  No wonder I’m having blood sugar issues during this thing.  …HELLO HOMEMADE WAFFLES.
• HELLO LEARNING SPELLCHECKER:  Placed at the front because this one is so damned important:  I can set Scrivener’s spellchecker to learn names.  This doesn’t seem that important at first aside from removing that blasted squiggly red line that pops up everyone someone new speaks until you realize that, combined with the Autocorrect function, you can make names with extra ornaments—like my healer’s name, Richéa, which requires a full stop to type so that you can hit “ALT+0233”—autocorrect to what they’re supposed to be just by lazy typing: the e becomes é right off the bat and you don’t have to think about it at all!  HELLO, INDEED, LEARNING SPELLCHECKER.
• I work better when I can stop and eat every half hour or so.  Which is why noon will be spent preparing for a sprint session beginning at 1 PM.

 

Another PLAN?!one eleventy

 

I’m still about 5k words behind the average.  If I write 2k a day, I’ve caught up in four days or so (because the extra 400 words in four days adds up to a free day earned.  Ladies and gentlemen, the second thing that makes me do math.  The other one is cooking).  But I have to have a plan.  I have to have not just any plan.  I have to have a cunning plan.  AND HERE IT IS.

 

1. COOK MANY THINGS.
2. Decant concentrated espresso coldbrew concentrate.
3. Place the MANY THINGS THAT WERE COOKED in a warm oven so that they’re warm whenever I stop to eat.
4. EAT.
5. HAVE A LATTE.
6. WRITE.
7. Stop for fifteen minutes.
8. REPEAT STEPS FOUR FIVE AND SIX.

THE OTHER MOOGLES HAD LAUGHED THAT NO ONE WOULD BUY THAT MIRACLE-GRO; WORLD B WAS A BARREN LAND! THEN ALONG CAME A DEMON TREE WITH WOOD ISSUES AND THEY BEGAN MAKING A MINT. THIS ALSO LED TO THE PURCHASE OF NUMEROUS TWEEZERS FROM A YOUNG BLEACH BLOND LAD WHO KEPT PULLING A PAINED FACE AND WALKING IN A STRANGE WAY AS WELL AS MUTTERING ABOUT SPLINTERS...

THERE WAS THAT ONE TIME HE GOT MISTAKEN FOR AN ONION KNIGHT. AS WELL AS ALL THOSE OCCASIONS HE RAN INTO JECHT AND LAGUNA AND THEY WOULD START MUMBLING ABOUT HOW KIDS THESE DAYS DRESS LIKE HOOKERS AND WONDERED WHAT THE HELL CHAOS WAS DOING USING A RUGRAT. THOUGH THE REAL INSULT WAS KEFKA CALLING HIM "BABY" AND TRYING TO STICK A DIAPER ON HIM.

IT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE PER CYCLE. ACTUALLY BY 012 IT HAD GOT TO THE STAGE WHERE HE WAS SO FED UP HE WAS ALMOST TEMPTED TO JUST FOREGO THE CODPIECE SO THAT NO ONE WOULD JUMP TO THE WRONG CONCLUSION.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT CHAOS WILL NOT STAND FOR SCHLONG HANGING OUT. SO HE TAKES ANOTHER OPTION:

ABS OF ADAMANTITE.

AH YES, THE ERR, SPORADICALLY DISAPPEARING ABS OF ADAMANTITE. (THE NOMURA ILLUSTRATION AND FFIX SUGGEST HE'S ALL FLESH AND YET THE FMV AND GAME MODELS THINK HE'S BEEN TAKING VAAN'S 12 STEPS FOR THE PERFECT CHEESEGRATER ABS. REALLY IT'S LITTLE WONDER THAT MY DRAWINGS OF NAKED!KUJA ARE NEVER CONSISTENT...)

HOWEVER IT STILL DID NOT PREVENT LAGUNA COMMENTING ON HOW A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRL LIKE KUJA SHOULDN'T BE RUINING 'HER' FIGURE BY ATTEMPTING TO GAIN MUSCLE MASS.
