Tremendulent!

The fact that it's wonderfully stormy and grey outside with leaves slowly falling from the trees means it's a perfect day to post this!

This is the current cast list for my original series, Teeth, Claws and Guinness which follows the adventures of a small village in the Welsh mountains. You've got Evan, an accountant with a recent affliction of the 'furry' kind, Hannah, a pub owner with a sharp tongue and big heart, Stev, a fishmonger who catches fish with his hands, and Elinor, a cafe owner who may or may not have summoned a group of mischievous pictsies to the village.

Meet the townsfolk!

( So not dial-up friendly )

It sort of occurred to me today that I am actually going on holiday next week. As in properly getting on a plane and flying across an ocean.

THIS TRULY FILLS ME WITH DELIGHT.

Work has been so unbelievably boring. I honestly think my boss has conversations with me in her HEAD and so when she asks if I've done said thing and I say, 'Ummm, no?' she's all, 'Hmmm, did I not actually SPEAK THE WORDS TO YOU?' *head desk*

I get to see my mom and my dog and my dad and my husband's family and, yeah. Ooh! I'm also buying a new laptop! I just want to hang out with my dog and drink sweet iced tea and eat Mexican food and fried catfish and hushpuppies. I'm also trying to see if anyone is up for canoeing.

Also, the little back story I was going to write about Hannah's family in the Teeth, Claws and Guinness world is reaching epic proportions and probably won't see the light of day this week. Crikey. Why so wordy, brain?

Have some pictures and snippets instead!

Is it wrong that the main reason I want to get a new laptop is to eventually get Photoshop so I can learn how to make graphics and icons for my personal stories?

I am SO ready for this week to be over. I'm moving OUT tomorrow! Yay! Finally. Of course, I'm moving in with my in-laws, but I adore them and it means I might actually get internet access in the evenings.

I'm still puttering around with the Teeth, Claws and Guinness world. I've been writing bits and pieces all week. I've got more people to add to the cast list!

Happy Friday, everyone!

I'm actually quite psyched for Yuletide. I took a look at the nominated fandoms and there are quite a few I feel confident in writing and some that I really want to request. I haven't had to nominate anything 'cause everything I'd want is already there. Except for Centurion, because apparently I have no shame.

I'm also DONE with my Big Bang. I'm going to do one last proof over the weekend, but I don't think I can look at it any more. *sighs*

And I'll go ahead and admit it: I'm totally posting just to use my new icon. This is werewolf!Evan after a really long night.

Speaking of the story that has taken over my brain, have another snippet as it appears to not be going away any time soon.

Title: Actuarially...
Word Count: 600

This takes place just a few days after Evan arrived on Hannah's porch.

( an accountant? )

So, I'm still on this werewolf thing. I'm not sure I can do Nanowrimo, but I might try mini_nanowrimo. They only want a minimum of 100 words a day, which I think I can do. It's just been fun to think about characters and a story in an abstract sense, without putting a lot of pressure on myself to create something uber-polished.

Plus, it also means I'm thinking about Michael Fassbender and Karen Gillan being stupid with each other. And drinking local ales.

And have you seen these pictures? (Not super NSFW, but almost)

Happy Thursday!
