and the light you gave you took when you were gone

I AM WRITING TO YOU FROM MY PARENTS' LIVING ROOM.

Yeah. Yesterday was my last day of work. I clocked out for the last time, went back to my apartment, changed clothes, did the dishes, and my dad walked in to help me move out.

I'm not actually completely moved out, as all furniture and quite a bit of odds and ends are still there, but clothes, books, computer equipment, all is back here. Everything else will get moved out...sometime before the end of the month, because the big sister is getting married tomorrow and somebody has to be here to watch the dog while the parents are away.

(No, I'm not invited to the marriage ceremony. The actual big wedding ceremony thing I will attend, if they ever settle on a date.)

Um.



First week of mini_nanowrimo is down, and I am very proud of myself as I didn't miss a day. Sometimes my wordcount was just barely over 100 words, but it was *there*. "vintage" is probably my favorite of everything I wrote this week, "myths about vampires" is probably my least favorite, I have no idea where "not a crime" came from, "kissing liam donnelly" was a transparent excuse to play around with Liam and Michael, I like "the price of fame (is they love you when you're gone)" but I don't know if it actually works in that I don't know if a reader would actually understand what's going on, "too many sad words" and "the day the world stopped" are both so...barely there I don't really have a strong opinion on either one. I like the concept of "the day the world stopped", though, and might play around with it some more later. "too many sad words" is just weird and doesn't even make sense to me.

Even when I don't like *what* I've written (as is the case of "myths about vampires"), I like this forcing myself to write something every day. It makes a good change from the not writing at all that I was doing before. And I like that I'm writing original fiction instead of fanfic, mainly because before this I hadn't actually finished any original fic in a long long time.
