Spookyfoot Joins the Crystal Gems

[LittleTurtle]

Ummmmm….you have 124 replies to your thread and the challenge hasn't even officially begun?!  How am I going to keep up with you?  

[Jett]

Haha, all this hockey talk goes straight over my head. Sounds like you had fun, though!

 

Meh, screw that I'm calling it a Gem Glow combo anyways because I still got enough points for it part of being kind to myself

 

Good job being kind to yourself. You still did get some things done, so you definitely shouldn't count yourself out for that.

I know! I just got back on NF after a long hiatus, and somehow I'm 5-7 pages behind on my friend' challenges and the challenge doesn't even start until *tomorrow*!

:waves: Hi, I'm back and lurking, er, subbing for another round of fun and games. Or fitness. Or all of the above.

Haha crazy thread is crazy

To be fair my Week 0 trial run added a lot of posts and then there was also some extended hockey talk with jc [emoji3]

I did have a fun time!

And thank you, after I posted that I realized I was expecting perfection not progress which is the opposite of what in trying to do!

And yes my thread is a bit crazy but fun I hope [emoji4]

You're back!!!! [emoji3]

Feel free to lurk or even comment if the mood strikes you

Happy to have you along for the ride, I have to go find your challenge [emoji3]

Man they really need a multi quote feature for tapatalk [emoji58]

I'm having lunch with my dad then grocery shopping and then finally WRITING [emoji1]

I had some fun ideas this morning so I'm going to do a tiny bit of inspirational reading but I'm really excited to start. I may do extra words today to give myself a bit of a buffer too

[spooky]

Alright I've done ~1200 words so far, and already the story is going crazy fun places. So yay! I'm excited to see where this one goes. 

 

Also for my Accountibilibuddies group the AMAZING Doodlies we are doing this thing called the Johari window, which is a way to map personality awareness. Well the site explains it better than me. But anyways if you want to help me out and/or are interested you can go and click 5-6 words you think describe me. I think it's an interesting experiment in how others perceive us and how we perceive ourselves. Here's the link to mine, if you could take a couple of seconds to fill it out it would really help

Completed my NaNo word count for the day (1712), I'll probably write a bit more later, the story is starting to get good! Somehow it's become a parallel lives type of mystery, I'm really playing around with duality and mirroring in this story which is fun. It's kind of Nabokovian so I'll be consulting his short stories, Pale Fire, The Real Life of Sebastian Knight and maybe also Ada: or Ardor for some inspiration. But I really like where this story is going, it's so fun to watch it unfold naturally and in the moment. 

 

Edit: Also It's pretty amazing how fast I write when I'm not editing. I can get 500 words per 10 minute sprint (which is the way I prefer to write since it stops me from overthinking, otherwise the story would go nowhere)

Steven Universe Challenge

 

Steven Universe is about a group of Gemstone based beings who save the world, and notably ALL Gems are female (well technically they are a uni-gendered race that uses female pronouns ). GIRL POWER! The show has a couple of main themes: the power of compassion and the necessity of strong, trusting relationships.

 

 

I've never heard of this show, I feel like Abe Simpson

 

 

I enjoyed Gravity Falls after I watched some episodes after your themed challenge, so I'll probably watch a couple of episodes of this too.

 

Well now I just have to take that!

 

Edit: I got Steven, which is awesome

 

I got:

 

You're Amethyst!

You're smol, sassy and always down for fun!

 

Your description of her being obsessed with food fits me, not sure about the rest.

Glad you caught a few episodes of Gravity Falls and definitely give Steven Universe a shot

 

Amethyst is great, she's very chill and super hilarious. Plus FOOOOOOOOOD. The "MI TORTAH" moment is one of my favorite things in the series.

No need to keep up, you can just skim the most recent page  

 

Happy to have you here

Weights and Measures:

Weight: 131.2

Chest: 30 in

Waist: 26.5

Hips: 36.5

Thighs: 21 in

Abdomen @belly button: 32in

And NO weighing or measuring throughout the challenge, this is all about trusting the process. I have lost some inches though so that's good, 2.5 off of my hips and 1.5 off of my waist. Yay

 

And now I will forget about this for the rest of the challenge.

Daily Inspiration: 

 

56

Those who know don't talk.
Those who talk don't know.

Close your mouth,
block off your senses,
blunt your sharpness,
untie your knots,
soften your glare,
settle your dust.
This is the primal identity.

Be like the Tao.
It can't be approached or withdrawn from,
benefited or harmed,
honored or brought into disgrace.
It gives itself up continually.
That is why it endures.

 

"Happiness depends upon ourselves."

-Aristotle

 

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment" 

-Buddha

I agree 100%, if I stop to overthink what I'm writing I loose my train of thought and then I'm done.

EXACTLY. It's all about losing myself in the flow of the story, that's when it gets fun!

[spooky]

Lunch, buffalo chicken collard wrap, yummy but very fragile (hence the abundance of toothpicks )

[spooky]

I ended up taking a nap because daylight savings time (that's my answer and I'm sticking to it ) Why else would i be so sleepy??

[sassyfrassy]

I really enjoy your motivations and inspirations. Definitely brings a smile to my face when I read them!

 

Also, your food. I think Rachael Ray would have to give it the YUM-O seal of approval.
