How Many Out There Can'tLet Go of NaNoWriMo, or are Feeling Let down?

artambrosia @artambrosia (148) • United States 5 Dec 10

My book wasn't finished, so I kept writing. I'm a bit obsessed. It's even getting in the way of my legit. work. I have to stop now, however, because I've got to edit a previous NaNo novel before the first of January. A small press...

My NaNoWriMo Novel is officially half way there!

artambrosia @artambrosia (148) • United States 9 Nov 08

Today I reached the 25,047 word mark. I'm so psyched. Of course now I'm smack dab in the middle and I need some real action. I've got so many villians and they haven't had much exposure yet. Time to get nasty. LOL. How are your...

Do you like Tecno?

artambrosia @artambrosia (148) • United States 29 Oct 08

My teenage son is really into it and I've discovered that I like it too. I don't even mind so much when he plays the same song over a dozen times. (It sure beats screamo!) I think it's a throw back to my youth - ha ha. But...

I just signed up for National Novel Writing Month! (NaNoWriMo)

artambrosia @artambrosia (148) • United States 19 Oct 08

I have to say I'm more than a little nervous. I have to write 50,000 words in 30 days. They have counters and everything. I've never done this before so I've gotten someone to "adopt" me to help me through it. Today I wrote out a...

My son is driving me crazy with his music!

artambrosia @artambrosia (148) • United States 19 Oct 08

I don't mind the songs so much; it's just that he plays them so loud and over and over. Also, he's into something called "screamo" which I DON'T like at all. Ever hear of that? Anybody have kids with similar tastes?

I just finished reading the Edge series by Cherry Adair. Have you read it?

artambrosia @artambrosia (148) • United States 19 Oct 08

What did you think? I thought Edge of Danger was pretty slow, but since I had already bought the other two, I kept on reading. The next two, Edge of Fear and Edge of Darkness were really enjoyable. I think that Duncan is my...

Has Anyone Seen Quarantine? What did you think of it? What about its Style?

artambrosia @artambrosia (148) • United States 19 Oct 08

I had to watch it for work. I thought the concept of doing the whole movie through the lens of another movie camera was brilliant; and it worked wonderfully. Unfortunately, the story dragged in the beginning and the ending should...

artambrosia @artambrosia (148) • United States 14 Oct 08

Wells Fargo Keeps Emailing Me to Activate My Account - Is this a Scam?

artambrosia @artambrosia (148) • United States 11 Oct 08

I never applied for an account with Wells Fargo, although they say I did. Now they keep sending me e-mails asking me to activate my account. I know there are lots of bad groups out there impersonating banks; is this the same...

Have you signed up for Earth Hour 2008 yet?

artambrosia @artambrosia (148) • United States 8 Mar 08

It started in Sydney, Australia last year when on one day for one hour, 2.2 million citizens and numerous businesses turned off their lights to show that they could have an impact on global warming. The effect was like taking...
