How I did it
How to buy a cheap wireless laptop.
It took me
2 years
It made me
why wait so long?

How I did it: I used to say I'd save up a bit here and there. But something always came up that ate into that.I used to say something better would pop up and I'd regret getting that model.But the only thing I had until now was a falty broken ssoftware/hardware incompatable 333MHZ processor computer that refuse to allow me to do anything other than review old files stored in it's memory, with a pause every seven minutes while it locked up for a minute.I… Read how I did it…

How to create a Web-Comic
It took me
52 days
It made me
excited

How I did it: Basically the place to start is with a notebook and some pencils. Make yourself several months to a years supply of comics.If you can't make it that far then best not to even start.If you make it that far you will start to get attached to the characters and use them more.Then You scan them into a computer and touch them up in what ever way you need.Once that is all taken care of just go on over to drunkduck.com and it's so easy from there… Read how I did it…

How to make a thing in a jar
It took me
3 days
It made me
an idea!

How I did it: Dremel down the side of a wooden bead, painted it white, then used sharpies to make the iris. Then Hot glue mied with red water colors and stirred to make the viscera of the eye and also hold the plastic legs and tail from a dollar store lizard on. red thread to make veins in the eye.Put it all into the emptied container from a scented candle, and filled with water and colored soap mixture.

okay redo 4 days ago

after seventeen days of otherpeople exploding over my life and eating up my time whic I’d planned for a year, I’m now facing some serious problems with getting this done.

The two novels I started are serious and phylosophical, that’s brooding writing, that’s a slow process.

I need fast, shallow and fun. so I’m switching over the brunt of my work to some silly and maybe a bit of naughty fun stuff that won’t ever be seeing book shelves.

at this point it’s just to get back into writing and get past the drama and road blocks of the last two months. I may share one or two with online freinds.

I will occasionally add to the ones I started, and I still would like to edit and finish my previous works.

So I should at least get 50k by the months end, and maybe even 100k. I then plan on taking those lost 17 days out of the start of december.

Yes I’ll finish nano on time, but I am alsotrying my original intent to see if I can do 150k in 30 days.

I have to average what?! 1 week ago

by my calculations I have to pull about 10k out every day until the end of the month to pull off my goal. but That’s on top of working my day job, making sure I have food and house taken care of and the various sundry other obligations I need to tend to each day.

How did I let it get so serious?

Well the words won’t appear by wondering how come I havn’t written them yet.

Well I suppose I should start 1 week ago

Now is as good a time as any. I technically put a token 1000 words in for each of my books thus far.

But the actual writing of the stories has been sort of side tracked by the mess my life has been. But no more. I write tonight and all day tomorrow, no more playing or dilly dallying or lolligagging or whatever you call it. I’m shooting for over 125k and possably 150k and I’ve got fifteen days to do it in.

no pressure right.
