I have a hypothetical situation for you. Say, you have a girlfriend. You’ve been with her for the better part of a year. The two of you are not particularly mushy; you’re both rather independent and sometimes you two are more like friends with benefits, how casual you are around one another. Despite that, there’s genuine attraction between you. You love being around her, you love the time you do spend together, you appreciate the mutual independence, and you love it that she loves you. And as the cherry on the cake, she is fucking GORGEOUS. You’re well aware that you never have a pretty girl alone, though, so you’ve always been wary that you would lose her.

Anyway, you also have a best friend. Your buddy is married but his marriage is quickly going down the crapper. In the past half year your best friend and your girlfriend have become really close friends to the point where it becomes a bit uncomfortable. She is obviously taken with him, and he definitely wouldn’t mind getting into her pants, either.

And there you go. One night after a lot of booze & other substances, they end up in bed together. Turns out your girlfriend loves your best buddy. Your best buddy is utterly horrified when he wakes up the next morning and says that what happened was a mistake.

What do you do? How will your feelings be towards your best friend? Reply! Discuss! Speculate! Please
I’m very curious to hear.

Walking up the stairs at Zoetermeer station my calf was suddenly cramping up. I was at the edge of a terrible cramp attack, but thankfully it subsided. Now it’s all just waiting to happen at some time.

While I thought it was because we’d been fitnessing yesterday (!), Olli told me that it’s probably because of a magnesium shortage. There’s a lot of magnesium in the foods we’re not supposed to eat at the moment, so I suppose I should eat a bit more spinach and eat my vitamin supplements It’s the only thing about my diet that’s been bothering me in the past month, so that’s great. Well, apart from daydreams about tiramisu and ben & jerry’s ice cream, of course. Or wanting to drink cider in the pub. But apart from that, I’m fine!

Steadily on my way down and all that. Although I am so not going to mind my diet during christmas, haha.

I’ve been reading through my Nano story “Signals” yesterday and found to my delight that it doesn’t suck as bad as I thought it did. I’ve been more descriptive than ever (yay!) and the characters do all have their voices and vices. I was very amused to see the girls comment more on outfits and makeup, and the boys about cleavage, for example.
There were also a few lines that I thought were awesome, so I do feel inspired to continue on the story. I’ll just have to plan out a scene-by-scene rundown on Stuff Yet To Come. Here’s to hoping I’ll find some time between Christmas and New Year.

On a semi-related note, Ol and I do have tickets for the new years lottery. How weird would it be if we’d win NOW, with that story I’ve written?

Whoo! I did it! Nanowrimo victory number eight, you’re MINE! Those 50K have gone down again, and this time slowly but steadily: in 22 days.
The story isn’t done yet, but that’s okay. We will get there, eventually

Like last year, I reached 50K on an unexpected feelgood moment, so enjoy everybody, if you start out HERE at chapter 12, then chapter 13 is here!

Yay, had a good writing session tonight. Now I’m off to bed, but I have the satisfaction of a good night’s writing and bassing under my belt. Go me!

You can read what I’ve written here!

Pfff… I finally managed to write something again. Thanks to Write or Die and Danielle; it does help to write together.
So I surpassed that damn 40K at last, and stuff is starting to happen. Expect lots of fallout next chapter!
(or in the rest of this one… chapter eleven is not done yet. I present to you: Chapter 11, in which Adam gets ridiculously drunk and gets himself in trouble)

You can find it here!

This finishes up chapter 10, which proved to be rather lengthy, all in all.
I should write on, I have the energy and the time… but there are no words

Hopefully by tomorrow I’ll have some scene sketches and images in head, so I can write something again.
I’d like to reach 40K this weekend.

Whoo, chapter 9: ‘While Our Blood Is Still Young’, and chapter 10, ‘Beneath The Neon Existence’. (why yes, I base most of my chapter titles on obscure songtitles, just like my blogpost titles. Do you even still have to ask? ). Most of this was written while wordwarring with Poelekie, who amazed the flying fuck out of me by being able to write 1000 words in 15 minutes. So yes, it IS possible after all. Damn, I thought I was a fast writer…

Anyway, here’s my new stuff. In which our heroes have champagne (again) and they visit Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco.
It’s a bit more of the setting of the stage. I think that from here on, the real cracks are beginning to show in relationships…

Here it is, if you would be interested! I’m very pleased with my 34K

Yay! 30K! I finally managed to write something again. It isn’t much, but it’s sowing the seeds for things to come.

You can find it HERE!
