Rain, rain, rain

[whiteink]

We're all kinds of goofy at work to day. I blame the weather. We all work paperwork based on regions in the U.S. and my team works the Northeast - so we're guessing our paperwork's going to be slow with the pending storm.

I'm in the storm zone, so right now we're just waiting to see what it does here. And what it does to the branches across the storm zone - we're getting updates as to when they're closing, if they're already closed, etc which is nice. I want to get the bulk of my overtime for the week done today, but if it starts to get bad, or if the storm moves up here faster than it's scheduled to I may just leave on time. Even if leaving on time means I'll end up spending Saturday morning at the office.

But right now the bulk of the storm isn't suppose to hit here until 10pm (hopefully it doesn't know the power out while Castle is on!) so I'll be home by then. But I keep checking it to be sure. We're all super alert here, and I think if it starts moving faster and the time it's suppose to get here is moved up, they'll make us go home.

In other news - while I'm not doing nano, I do think that for November I'm going to try to do every daily prompt at dailyprompt. That'll at least get me writing, but there's no minimum word count that I'm going to feel the need to do each day as long as I write something

And now, it's back to work, and back to waiting for the storm.

Every time they show a map of the storm path on TV, I check out your city, keep us in the loop on how you are doing,

I might do the daily prompt thing too; I am really beginning to think I have lost the writing bug, I just don't get excited about it anymore *sad face* and I haven't had an interesting idea in a blue moon *bigger sad face*

But, I am tired of whining about it - in the words of Yoda - either do or do not.

Maybe, I should just do.

I think you should do.

I figure with the prompts I can write whatever I want for whatever show I want ... maybe even some shows I've never written ... or something that I create all by myself! I've written some prompts from there before, but never challenges myself to a month. I think it's a nice change from nano.

Ohhh ... here comes the rain.

I'll second that! dailyprompt sounds like a great compromise!

I already suspect I won't make the 50K words this year, but I'm going to give it the old college try. The point for me isn't really to hit that target, so much as to force myself to write - period. And if I'm honest, I really got gun-shy after the ROH disaster, and have probably actually been afraid to put anything of any significance out there since then. I don't count the daily drabbles, because they're just little character studies, not really fics.

I'd go home if I were you. Why tempt fate? Stay safe, sweetie!

Stay safe! You are going to get hit harder than I am up here in upstate NY. The high winds are going to be the worst part, taking out the power and damaging property. The rain wouldn't be nearly as bad if if weren't for the wind driving it.

ETA - I just checked out dailyprompt and I joined. Thanks! :)

Yes mom.

Right now it's not suppose to get really bad until 10pm here. I keep checking to make sure that doesn't get earlier, because that will be what prompts me to leave work sooner than planned.
